Do the calculations on excel, include the spread, the "break even" amount
Eg 100 points You will see you start at 0.01 then 0.02, 0.03 ( then it starts to add like crazy just to break even) 0.05 / 0.8 / 0.11/ 0.15 etc
I'm spit balling of memory when I came across the same idea, you can only have a string of 18 losses before your lots become something like 50 lots

Though i did have the same idea, i never did get a EA that could do it

I've noticed that the EA runs very slow in backtesting in dinamyc stop loss mode. Do you know why?

I have another question about dynamic target and lots.

How often do they change? How I do the maths?

I set it on dynamic target first and initial lot type on dynamic too, and the account (demo) was $1400, it reached $1700 and the lots didn't change. If dynamic target keeps changing, then it will be more difficult for the ammount of lots placed; and I realized that with $1700 it was gonna be longer the distance for 0.02 lots to reach the dynamic target.

Or do they change and I didn't give it a chance?

Hi Radityo.ardi and all traders,
Last night (Thailand time), the EU just moved up rapidly (as shown in purple eclipse). I am not sure if it is EA or my computer problem that no orders opened during that time. I have not run my mt4 on any vps so I wonder would it be the same if I run my mt4 terminal on VPS?

Another question, if EA does not open orders and I open the orders by myself, will the manually opened orders be closed by the EA when it reached the target?

I am using FxPro. In demo account they limit max. 70 orders (open + pending) while in live account there is no limit in order opening.

Thank you.

I do not want to increase my lot size more then .01per stop loss . to get break even or profit will depend on range , like after 20 losses my size will be .20 lot but to get break even i need 110 pip move either side .

with every stoploss my lot lot size increase by .01 and range will increase by some more pips .

Hi,
Why do you have stops and limits mixed? How is it possible?
Did you set 0.01 lots by yourself? Or was it automatically set?

hi powertrade,
The mix between Limit and Stop order is because I use the setting under Oder Operation > A few Limit orders. For the detail how it work, briefly, EA will open some Limit orders at the time EA start but after that it will open only Stop orders. Lot size is set to Balance multiply by 0.00001. In this case, my balance is 9xx * 0.00001= 0.009xx which is lower than 0.01 so EA uses 0.01

Thanks, I thouht it should be .02 since intial lots is set to .02 by default.

Hi all,
Sorry for my delayed response. I was out leaving overseas for 2 days. Actually I was planning to release v1.6 with couple bug fixes, but got suspended because reading all issues you've reported. Thanks for reporting. Will try to rectify if the issue is simple.

This is due to the "Stop Next Cycle" is set to true, or probably you're out of the time range. Because each and every cycle I will reset the Dynamic Target to 0 (zero) and set back to some value before creating new orders for a cycle. Let me know and tell me if this is the case.

I think this is a good point of learn. When you see that, most likely you have faced an instant execution type of account. During the purple circle, all the pending orders will be executed. But since the price is moving too fast, and for the orders to be changed from pending to open order is not fast enough, the price is changed already. And the ordered price became invalid. So broker will reject the orders.
It is a hard fact that I can't fix this issue, since it is really depending on your broker's regulation and your account's conditions. To fix this, is quite simple. Find a market execution type of account (most broker with ECN - Exchange account will have it). But when it is market execution, slippage will occur.

They do change in each and every cycle competion. As I said, once the target is reached, then all orders will be closed, I will reset all dynamic values to zero.
See the next logic, IF there's still possibility to start new cycle (you didn't clicked Stop Next Cycle button), EA will recalculate all dynamic values such as lot size and target, then create new pending orders.

So you want me to add feature where it will close by "Target or Order Count". Which means that if target is fulfilled, it will close. OR, if target is not fulfilled, but the total open order (both buy and sell) is exceeding X number of orders.

Good trading to everybody. I saw this thread by chance and I have been very favorably intrigued by the constructing atmosphere that is around, by the human values of Radityo and the charity he is running, by the EA with its interesting first results. I read the first 10 page and the last 20, I need more time to read the rest and mostly to understand everything, as I am perfectly ignorant about grid systems, even if I use Ilean regularly. I will try to give my modest contribution as much as I can. I tried to put the EA on a demo Roboforex, EURUSD...
Try experimenting with some other number.
I saw your screenshot it has to be 5 digits. But why too far?
Try set your grid step and current price interval, divided by 10.
Like say it was 25, you set it to 2.5 or 3. It was 30, you set it to 3.

What I did was:

I stopped next cycle.

Changed settings (with already opened and placed orders running) to 0.03 initial lots.

Then "keep going", and in the next cycle happened that.

And thanks for your answers =)

It depends how the system will count order count. If it counts all order it will probably not a good idea because if i set order count 30, it will close with 15buys/15sells or 10buys/20sells, etc... not what i was looking for.

How about a feature close at threshold??? Can you add that? I think it will work as i imagine.

The answer is no. Why? Because the orders are opened using magic number. Magic number can't be inserted from UI when you open the order.
But I can make that logic though, to disallow the usage of magic number.

But I think we need to come under the same understanding, that if we are not using magic number, it will calculate all orders in your account, regardless whether it is used by this EA or another EA, or you specifically use it for another strategy, it will affect this EA.

So in short, if we want that feature on, we need to use 1 account for this strategy alone.
