I just started yesterday a demo test following the steps of fxindikator using ver 1.4 & his settings shared earlier. Things are looking quite promising, already in profit. I need to see how it will go with my broker for a month before deciding to go live. One thing I am not happy with, I had to shut-down & restart my MT station while the EA was running. After restarting, the EA closed ALL opened trades (luckily it was in profit), deleted ALL pending orders and started a new cycle. Is this normal?...

I've done some backtesting with this EA and pretty much all yearly tests end with a huge tumble after a steady climb. I managed to avoid the tumble by limiting the hours to the Tokyo session which is the quietest range you might have for your entries. I think this EA with a little manual intervention might be profitable for everybody.

Hi all!

I would like to ask if anyone can suggest a good and cheap/free (free better) vps.
I'm currently using the one from Amazon, is free but i don't like it too much...

About the EA, well, I'm testing it live since 21 of July and currently it's up almost 25%.
I'm using it only on eur/usd with stop orders, but like others here i'm testing to share the risk on multiple pairs like gbp/jpy. Will share the experience when i will have some days of testing... My only doubt is: how will affect slippage to this other pairs? The ones that don't have a deep liquidity...

[Quote = chucrut; 8419566] Ciao a tutti! Vorrei chiedere se qualcuno può suggerire una buona e buon mercato / libero (gratuito) vps meglio. Attualmente sto usando quella da Amazon, è libero ma non mi piace troppo ... Circa l'EA, beh, sto testando dal vivo dal 21 luglio e attualmente tocca quasi il 25%. Io sto usando solo su eur / usd con ordini di arresto, ma, come altri qui sto testando per condividere il rischio su più coppie come gbp / jpy. Condivideranno l'esperienza quando avrò qualche giorno di test ... Il mio unico dubbio è: come influenzerà slittamento a questo altre coppie? Quelli che non hanno una profonda liquidità ... [/ quote]

Chucrut,
Are you planning to run it over the NFP? I think that there is a big difference between real accounts and demos many people here are running due to slippage. I wonder what would happen during NFP on a real ECN account... Has anyone done this?

Hi, I have already posted my settings, btw,
Version 1.2 on eur/usd from London open -2 to New York open. 50 points grid with fixed lots and fixed take profit. Lots are 0.01 for every 300 in your balance (you can make more risky 0.02), take profit fixed in 3.5 PIPS (make the calculations based on your account currency and the pip value and then put the target)

Hi, I'm not going to let it run during NFP, I'm using ActivTrades (because I can't with Tickmill) and during normal period they don't have big slippage issues, but I prefer stay away from big red news...Don't want to discover...I think it can affect based on how many orders per side are active at the news moment, for example if you have 1 buy and 2 sell and the new move the price south no problem with slippage for new orders, it is on your side. Sorry for my english, I'm not native. Hope you get my point.

Back to my question, any suggestion for a good cheap/free vps?
Thanks.

I have been using http://trustsignup.net/ , the 18$/mo option for my vps. What I like is that its a windows 7, not server edition. Using it for a month+ now, no problems.
Best, Josh
P.S. Can you please tell us how the NFP goes on your account on Friday? Thanks

Try Amazon, they offer free VPS.

With a low latency VPS and good broker you can survive red news, but avoid the extreme ones like NFP... Slippage on those events are crazy, can be as much as 50 pips (500points), Grid will be very messy.

My plan for NFP is hit stop next on thursday afternoon and wait for EA closes in profit before big news.
If it doesn't i will check where price is in the grid... if price is the middle of grid with many orders fired i will let it run, the firsts spikes are the worse and as the orders close to price are already fired doesn't matter. If price is near new orders, probably the loss are little and i will take it to keep the account safe and start the EA on Monday.

Hi emanco,
most likely if you do backtest, you'll end up in that situation. The reason is that backtest is meant for the EA and indicator developer to test their functionalities. When I built the EA, it does helps a lot while I can keep continue my code during weekends when the market is closed.
It is not to test whether a strategy will do good or bad.

Disadvantages of backtest:
1. they don't simulate dynamic spreads (you always forced to set the spread from the dropdown)
2. they don't simulate real market conditions
3. sometimes you may have your backtest data incomplete (gaps between days/hours/minutes)
4. you need human intervention, since this EA is not meant to be run full automated. You need to avoid holidays, probably gaps during weekends, and maybe some major events

So, yes, manual interventions still be needed...

Ya, that's another story why it happened. Somehow FF can't recollect the history.

{quote} hi Radit, what a mean of your GTSTOP won't recollect the history data again, and what happen with your account GTCHUCRUT? btw, i uploaded my screenshoot when EA got notification error, EA got error createorder when closing all order, but EA still working after close all order finnished. it's can be a problem for my account? i use CHURCRUT set too with V 1.7. {image}
v1.7 is not released yet, but I'm open if you want to use it. In 1.7, if your order fails to close, it will try to loop closing all orders again until all completely closed. Then, it will start new cycle.

{quote} Hi Radityo, thanks for your advice. I will try to setup GTLIVE on demo first with v.16, and let it run for a while. and share the account to my friend so he will have a picture in mind what will happened with his live account later (as I already mentioned to him if live will be much worse than demo because of the slippage). GTCHUCRUT already blown too... ahhhh.... hmmm I think GTLive is the safest for now... with SL and Close if no Order enabled. also run on 01.00 - 10.00 GMT+8.. I blown my GTLimit on demo that run on 01.00 - 15.00 (GMT+8)...
Seems that GTLIMIT can't be ran fully on 01am to 3pm. You should stop it somewhere at 9am or 10am. I heard someone uses GTLIMIT changing only the lot size bigger, ran it on live for a week, and got 100% profit....
Will consider to add that feature.

Hi radityo.ardi

How do I overcome the challenge where with 1.6, sometimes when recreating the cycle it doesn't create it properly - example the gap between the start point and new creation threshold becomes really big?

Thanks

Hi Radityo Ardi
What is recommended VPS if i use Tickmill ECN Live trading from indonesia? As i try to check their IP yesterday use iplocation.net, it shows their live server is at hongkong (?) I wonder if tickmill has many server around the world to make closer connection to their customers. Is it where the VPS located matters?
Sorry for my newbie questions. I never use VPS before

Thanx

{quote} That's exactly my view on this EA, I am focus in different strategies and on EURUSD i have spread risks over few different grid setups. But i would like to spread also other Pairs and i liked your approach to limit orders. I will start looking for pairs that do not move much, but i always like to think about what can go wrong and how to minimize damage in the account. The biggest issue on limit orders is when a certain pair decide to trend longer. We can set a stop loss in this case but if the trend continues it will keep hitting stop loss...
I had that in the v1.7 already.
