Hi Masterrmind,

looks promising.

Based on which criteria did you vary the lot sizes? "No-red-news-days" have higher initial lot sizes?

And I wonder which mystery pair you might have used ;-)

From my gut feeling I would assume that mers system works best with a relatively volatile pair. But it mustn't be prone to see "panic trends", like EURUSD. In my opinion AUDCAD would be a good choice.

Sure, it's just a backtest, no live trading. But you should test as good as possible.

Ok here is version 1.3 I have added: Grid System (Grid Size, Grid Increments, Grid Max Trades, Grid Lots, Draw Grid Lines) x 3 Grids Break Even Recovery FIFO Rules TP levels (points, equity, $) Trading on certain days of the week Only enter trades every X candles (budidharma19's request) Some bug fixes that I found Let me know what bugs pop up? Enjoy Vlad {file}
In live trading version 1.3 opens trades as it should and reverses the 1st open trade of the next cluster of trades.

However, it does not automatically close out the group of trades at the reverse signal.

Might like to check this in the code.

Groups of trades are closed out perfectly in the strategy tester but not in live trading....hmmm

ps. I have not touched any of the EA equity settings.

Thanks,

Hmm strange,

Are there any error messages in the Journal or Experts tab? Can you maybe send me a screenshot of what this looks like?

Thanks

Hi All, Cracking EA, Vlad! I've noted that if you place a manual trade say at like 0.05 Lots in the same window then the EA will use this as the basis for calculating the lot size on the next trade = 0.051. So I guess you need a slightly better ticket tracking method rather than simply looking at the last order.

It appears to simply continue trading after a reversal box appears by opening a trade in the opposite direction of the first group of trades.

This is what it is supposed to do except that the group of trades fail to be closed.

Journal and experts tabs do not indicate any error but rather a progression from say selling orders straight into buying the 1st reversal order.

Hi Vlad,

V1.3 continues to close trades as soon as spread is covered and profit gets to 0.0. Please check the code. The expert does not report any error.

Awesome work , Can you add an option so that , when a Buy signal was triggered in EA during trading hours There would be no sell trades opened for Rest of the day .
Also , The trades opened should be closed even after the trading time ended . Thanks

If you are referring to ver 1.3 that is the work of Vlad and it is an EA not an indicator.

I am making the assumption that you have no trouble putting EAs and indi into their respective folders within the MQL4 folder.

Now we're cookin', thanks Vlad. Here is my early favorite, but I know there is much more testing to do. I would encourage others to share their favorite set files for all to test. From 6/23/15 to 8/8/15 {image} Set file for above test. {file}
hi dirtyserb,

i just looked through your set file and was wondering what closed the trades around # 81 there abouts. was that triggered by equity stop loss of 25% ?

and then again at #195

Those were 2 high dd days where it kept taking orders based on the grid and never recovered. Price after 300 periods just sat there and when it made a new high giving an exit box, it took a loss based on entry levels. It never actually went into DD by 25% of equity, although the first one was close. The only reason I put that there is in case there is a massive DD day without recovery, that will protect the account from blowing up. That's a disaster stop basically. You don't want to make that too small unless you have a huge account and are trading micros, because after all we are trading a DD based system. Some dd will allow us for better positioning across multiple entries giving us higher profit in the end. That's the theory anyway I think.

Hello Vlad@ Could you please add a functionality in the EA to give alerts when there is a box displayed and also functionality to switch on/off taking trades as some people want only alerting to test? I tried to add this into the indicator but it didn't work... thanks for all your help...

i could not agree more with your reasoning = with a dd based system one has to keep in mind there must be a somewhat reasonable worst case scenario. that being said the eq loss also cant be set to low. there is a statistical optimum and my gutt feeling agrees that 25% must be about right.

also your setting = trading around the clock might be beneficial. my initial thought was as per original rules might be best. but if i understrand mers correctly he trades only one sequence.

that will keep profits low.
so that being said i have seen gu make a large one way move from europe open, this spring in april i think it was. so having small profits and then having a day with a one way move while very rare could sure hurt.
