Thanks for the EA Radityo.Ardi! I am experimenting with 0.1 lot size and $10 TP on EURUSD and GBPJPY (in 'STOP' mode), and the $10 profits are coming regularly (for now on a demo account). It functions almost like an ATM throwing out $10 (demo) bills at least once every hour... {image}
How many orders on each side are you using?

I have placed 10 on each side (for now). After each basket closure the (total) 20 buy/sell stop orders are automatically recreated.

hello
I'm unable to use the EA right now but i'd like to have some info on how it behaves. If im not wrong, the stops orders are for the trend and the limits orders for retracement .So when do you take profit or exit at a loss ? do you pyramid your orders ? Thanks.

Sorry for this noob question, but here it is; When you write in the setfile: 0, 1, and 2 (Where there is a scrolldown menu.)
Is the "0" first choice,"1" the second,and "2" the third?

As promised before in my other thread, I would like to share my Grid EA. Basically, nothing new in this Grid EA, which is same as the other simple Grid EA written by other users in this forum. Probably you might wonder why I re-wrote the same thing and sharing it again. This because of one of the grid has gone into commercial section, and the other one was restricted for "red" users only. And it was hard for me if I would like to add more settings to the EA. The simplest...
Hi Probably I did not understand this Grid but I wanted to share the downside of this system and this is the only one downside.

STOP MODE:
If Buy order is activated and market go down and activate the sell order and then go back up and activate second buy order and go down and hit second sell order then here account getting in trouble.
LIMIT MODE:
If any unexpected news come or suddenly market is in trend then this system is in trouble.

radityo.ardi, do you have any solution of above given issues? I tried my best when I was doing forward test this system few months back but I couldn't find any solution of it.
Love for all; Hatred for none.

Hello guys. I have set the EA up on a demo account using the GT1000 settings provided by radityo. However, no trades are being placed. At the top I read Active: no; Stop Next: no ; Start Time: Ok; What have I done wrong? P.S. My VPS is on UTC time if that info is needed. {image}
I'm curious with this one.
I'm currently suppressing all the errors, so it won't display in case Open Order failed. Just try to see specifications of your broker whether it allows you to create some specific lot size like 0.06. I've seen some brokers having this kind of limitations.
Anyway, I'll try to put some measurement so EA will give you a meaningful error if in case that happen.

Hi Radityo, I try this on demo forward testing too based on your GT1000.set. So I just want to confirm something... in your setting, you use LIMIT on low volatile market? (In Indonesian Western time I changed it to 1 hours before you, Start 00:00:00, Stop 13:59:59) Am I doing it right? and how does the performance of LIMIT compared of STOP order?have you tried it before? or we can open 2 EURUSD chart, one with LIMIT, one with STOP?is this will produce better result?
You can try it. But I would prefer to open 2 accounts for that, and see whether the running orders and time is overlapping.
Means, whenever you start for LIMIT orders (00:00 to 13:59), you should get your STOP orders completely stopped. At some case, I know this would fail, but just try to monitor that.
Separately, I will try to tweak if one would want to start 2 different strategies, it should continue seamlessly.

Yes, perfectly you described the downside of this system.
That is why I gave start and end time parameter there. Probably not a solution, but one of the workaround I would say.
LIMIT is best used at low impact time, where this happen at 5-6pm GMT, till around 12am or 1am GMT. Probably can extend until 5-6am GMT.
STOP, I think this can be used anytime. Just that, some dangerous scenario as you said, will be there. Workaround for this will be planned there, but it is not ultimate solution. I can re-create by threshold, means, at a certain points nearer to outer grid, will add additional more grid. BUt this also comes with a higher risk.

I think just ignore that. It will take the settings without the number 0, 1, and 2.

This is another good result (but too risky)
Equity was stepped down below, it left with a big valley there.

I am very impressed with your coding and complete understanding of trading. "I can re-create by threshold, means, at a certain points nearer to outer grid, will add additional more grid. " I believe that it needs some work out to know about certain points and deal with it accordingly.

I have used Grid system for my live account but not for long time because it was very hard for me due to my full time job to stay in front of computer. I wanted to share my experience.

1. I used SonicR system indicator to find out when I have to place Grid in stop mode.
2. You can see the indicator marked on the chart.
3. After two or more coloured candles (together), there is grey candle which is marked with red line completed in H1 time frame. I activate the EA to place grid.
4. Gap was 10 pips and mostly at grey candle your spread is low.
5. it was very important that I use TP=9 pips

Regards

Hi Radityo,

I'm doing forward testing it using 2 accounts,

one for LIMIT
one for STOP

i use GT1000.set original files, with a little adjustment due to 4digits broker, and only change LIMIT order to STOP, also time start stop.

let's see how it goes. if both goes well then in the future i will try to combine them both since they works on different time separately.\\

cheers!

Hahaha..... real same case with me.
I think this is the answer why I don't reply much quicker, since I'm also working on the day. That's why I use VPS. So, VPS + forexfactory runs themselves, while stackoverflow + visual studio + coffee, that's my daily job.
I've seen some cheap VPS already down to $5/mo with Windows, so that's a good start actually, where I can run 6 different Metatrader application.

The idea is interesting. Need to explore more on SonicR, and see whether we can integrate both...

On my PC RdzGridTraps is not working.
Can you display your settings?
Many thanks.

Now it seems to work - but I do not know why and with low size 0.06 instead of 0.01

Why?

Hi Raditya,

I'm amazed by today performance.
I hope it stays this way LOL.

Here's the capture of my GT1000 with LIMIT (GTL1000) and GT1000 with STOP (GTS1000).

For details please check my Trade Explorer.

I wonder if this 2 setting could be combined on one account since each one of them works on different hours.
(but have to consider smaller lots, ie 0,01 lots for min 1000$ if it's combined STOP and LIMIT)
