Well after test driving it for 3 days, my demo is up by 40%. This is really amazing, but needs lots of risk management. will see how it perform under news release period. thanks radityo.ardi.
Hi. Are you using the original settings from 1.6 version?

Thanks

I set up 25 grid with 2.5 TP per 0.01 lot.

The only pair that i ran the EA last night and did not cycle was EURGBP but it's not in a dangerous position, it's with 10sells/9buys. I think just need to be patience and wait for a bigger movement, 4h chart still look ok for this pair, the only problem is that it's breaking new lows and the resistance could be dangerous. If i was using a live account would not use this pair.

Just with visual perception i think i could tight the grid for USDJPY, i will try 15grid with 1.75 TP. Spreads are tight for this pair, i think it could handle... eheh

I am using a 5,000 account, 0.01 lot per pair, 10 pairs at most at the same time. Based on the rate of 500 per 0.01 lot experienced by radityo.

My account is up at 2% in the last 12hrs with 4% biggest running lost. I am a big fan of spreading the risks, and i like the result using different pairs instead or increasing the lot size of a single pair.

I don't think in live i will be using 10 pairs because some are correlated.

I am just waiting for an upgrade on the EA with "close by threshold" feature to run a lot of backtests and find a good return/risk ratio on the setups, than i will be comfortable to start running this EA on live account.

Cheers, have a great weekend all.

Hi,

Thank you radityo for this great and free EA (I've already visited "your banners").

* What's the point of using "Dynamic Recreation (All orders)"?? Less risk than "Dynamic Recreation by threshold"?

* I'd be great something like a repository of sets... Or at least the best combination of grid / TP / lots. Maybe in post #1???

Bye.

It's on the last page.

I will let them run on the weekend (with live account i think i would be pressing stop next in all pairs to reduce risks)

Everyday i will analise and try to post the pairs i like and i welcome everyone that would like to point good potential pairs for running stop orders on daily bases.
The more ideas the better.

I am really liking this idea because if any pair got stuck on a very risky area i can stop it and lost only a few days of profit, not blow the account. eheheh we need only to choose wisely and avoid this to happen many times in the month.

And than we will have a long term profitable low maintenance low risk system. What else can we look for???

In my experience, it does best when there is sharp movement during news release. Those times it collects most profit and fast. IMO
Best, Josh

{quote} exactly! {quote} it is on the source code tab in codeplex... {quote} that is what I want, we can share our best setting giving the advantages and disadvantages. and for all currency. let us do this! {quote} sorry, I haven't change the version in the code. Will do that.
Hi,

Could you please do a version BUY/SELL inverted so we can test it with pairs with TREND.
I think it will be very interesting to see it.

Thank you!

im using the v 1.5. haven't try on the 1.6 yet, but might do it next week.

i think the point of using this ea is you need to identify how the market is reacting, then you adjust your EA accordingly. for me, im just using both limit and stop orders on one currency. The ea works fine, its just how you tune it to grab profits.

nice, i still have to try it, how about the strategic putting stop orders and limit orders? i'm doing with the same id, but the only thing i get is to acumulate spreads of losses by every order to open,althoug i'm copying the profit orders to another account with a copier, the orders i copy them when get a amount of pips in profit, now i'm going to try with different

wait =|

What does "initial lots" stand for?

I have two account (demo), one with 1500$ and the other one with 1100$.

One started placing orders with .02 lots, the one with 1100$ started with 0.01 lots. (same settings, initial lots 0.02)

Can anyone explain this to me please?

congratulations, but don't you uses the same pair for LO and SO? now you´re using correlations pairs because it's not consistent on the same pair? thank, what i'm seeing about this ea, as all grid, so that can work the account has to be sufficiently big not to be broke by negative floating

first tests on live account (micro)

a few lessons learn:

- slippage just kills every single strategy that is not EURUSD. not enough liquidity in other pairs.
- even in EURUSD tight grids are messup by slippage. i will drop this approach either.
- slippage is more important than spread. must look for a broker with less eheheh
