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}
Hey, how did your week end with the experiment of 0.1 lots with a $10 TP?

Hi Radityo,

I run STOP order on volatile market (14:00 - 23:59 GMT+7) from 15-May (friday),
But it is still have opened position till now 18-May (sunday), and some active grid pending STOP order too.

So I wonder how it goes, it should be run on my specific time because we want it to run STOP on volatile market only,
but now it run on slow market too.

Just like you said on your guide, this EA will keep running until current cycle closed right?

In your opinion, Which one better to close all the position outside Start-Stop time range, or let it run until cycle closed?
Because in this case, the STOP strategy (both opened and pending positions) which should works better on volatile market, also run in slow market.

use same brokers, 5 digit on tickmill, to save trouble with GT1000 setting.
still have to wait for couple hours to have 1st order been made.

Javascript and C++ programmer here. Don't even want to bother with MLQ4 so no Metatrader EAs...unless the API for MLQ4 can connect to a rest server. I'm sure it can.

If you guys want to help me out with ideas, coding, etc. then we can brainstorm and I can get to changing my coding.

I might be able to build a drag and drop GUI for building "Expert Advisors" that communicate with REST servers like Oanda provides, and hopefully with metatrader too. I do have some C# experience and could code an application for windows usage since all I'll have to do is communicate with the REST and do simple procedures in C#

Everything would be completely free to use for live testing since data would help go to a big pool in creating better trading machines.

Back-testing systems would have to be prioritized because the cost of computing. If the cost is too high (which I think it may not be because of Amazon Web Services), I could probably do a limited amount of free back testing, and then I'd have to charge subscriptions for more back testing power.

I could also make a front end client that does the processing on your own computer like the back tester in metatrader.

The grid system provides a counter-intuitive way of trading the market. I think putting more time in finding a good bias indicator (Macd, elliott wave, harmonics, flip a coin) to pair with it is the most important part of the project.

My main priority is finishing my ecosystem for my own trader, but as I get closer I'll start implementing accounts, more apis to communicate with other brokers besides my own, different platforms, etc.

Oh, and another thing. My genetic algorithm takes a lot of the guess work in finding optimal settings for indicators, positions, etc. through back testing. It just takes a lot of computing power and/or time.

yes i use the same set file as attached above. gt1000.
gt 670 and gt 1000 also the same, only 0.01 lot vs 0.02 lot.

I only revised it for 4 digits broker, and time based on my local place. if you want this i can share it though.

if you use 5 digits broker, use attached set files and reconfigure it based on your need (time/region), or maybe you want to try interval,gap,order type, etc.

Radityo,

Btw I can't make it work on 5 digits broker.
I already reconfigure it back on 5 digit broker setting, same as original one.

But I use 2 chart 2 EA, here's the detail:
chart 1. = EURUSD, EA limit, time 00:00 - 13:59, magic number 8888
chart 2. = EURUSD, EA stop, time 13:59 - 23:59, magic number 8889

Any idea why?I tried on Pepperstone demo

Anybody have a clue about TP?

Target Profit = If Target Type Fixed, then it will close the current cycle when reaches this amount of profit (fixed).

If at GT1000 it is set at 10, is it means in 10 points? or 10$?

if it is 10$ then, i never reach that TP on my trades yet, but it closed on 0.2$ 4.6$ 5$ 2.8$ 8$ etc
if points then at 4digits broker means 1 pips?but there's also many trades closed more than 1 pips..

seems random profit/TP to me... any clue?

hi Silanto ,
I too had this confusion profit exceeds but the cycle doesnt close .

we As I did was to bring the profit target = 2x lot size or 3x lot size.

yet if tp problem is solved then we can more set our plans for trade .

I would also like to know a little more about this feature. It may be more useful to use the TP in pip or points rather then $ so that if we have a higher balance, we can use higher lot sizes but don't have to worry about the TP portion.


I have finally gotten the EA to run. I do not know exactly what I did differently to get it to work but its working now. I have set two accounts. One for STOPs and one for LIMITS. Both use the GT1000 set from the first page. Are there any differences in settings I should make between the LIMITs and STOPs versions? I set the EAs on $3K demo accounts each but I did not change the TP from 10 as I was also unsure of how this works. I am using .10 lot size for the 3k, compared to .02 for 1k defined by radityo. If the TP is set in dollars, then I should be increasing the TP according to the balance. Right?

Anyway, I will try to get these accounts on myfxbook

Hi,
Thanks for sharing. I attached this EA to EUR/USD, but no orders are opening. The time I set was server time from 0 to 23:59:59. All other setting are the default. I used GT1000. Any body could answer my question? Thank you.
Problem solved, just restarted MT4, then it works.

yeah. let's wait Radityo to explain the TP and close (cut the loss) method.
I don't understand the close method too. but so far. it's safer than previous martingale tunnel.
let's try this longer.


btw guys anyone already try this variable?

Open Type: Dynamic Recreation (All Orders) ?

Guys I was wondering if we had a breakeven option to the open positions and trailing stop to the open positions valuing the grid . The STOP trades will perform well.

and a total profit target .

and stop loss to made to 2x grid box .

additionally

= add a ketner channel on 5 mins value 30 or a EMA channel breakout . [to trade stops ]

Actually even I don't fully understand the method here (especially TP and close (cut loss) method)...
But the results...looks promising to me....

mine on run on 3rd day now....
but Radityo's already run for a few months and still looks okay to me.
I believe in his systems. Just let's wait for him to explain later

Here's mine:

  • May 19, 2015 7:47pm May 19, 2015 7:47pm
yesterday EUR movement was bad enough for the EA.

My Stop Order hit some loss. But my Limit order is doing okay.

I wonder why Radityo GT1000 Trade Explorer hit major loss too?
Hmm that's a Limit Order Type too.. Dunno why mine is doing OK while Radityo's not

Here update of mine, taken screenshot just now
GTL1000 is Limit Order Type (exactly the same setting as GT1000 attached at post #1)
GTS1000 is Stop Order Type (same set files, change Limit order to Stop order)

I have used this same idea, however, it would effective if every level starting from the beginning to the end of the order are using a different lot sizes. for example, this screen shot. if anyone can modified this ea with the open pending order with multiple lot size, it would be nice.
