after reading this thread and finally understanding the EA. I have been running some back tests for past 4 weeks to see its full potential if configured correctly. {image} ran it over 12 months from last aug to today.
This system doesnt work, the backtesting with 90% dont work... Eliar11 its right you need 99% of backtesting for a real proof... I think if here is a good programer, that idea is gonna work very very good! Download the ticks from tickstory and save them in files in your mt4. There are videos in YouTube of step by step.

which broker and what leverage are you using?

your settings (similar but on v1.2) lasted less than a week on me (and that was on demo)...although it was with exceptional returns by the time it "stalled"

Another week gone and another week started.
Last week EA worked well, weekly update: live from 30 working days today, the average is almost 2% for day. Total: more then 60%
Stop orders, only eur/usd with settings already posted. We'll see on the long run...

I'm still thinking the key for a stable profit is the timing and not being greedy.
I use the EA only during London session untill NY open with fast cycles. I won't trade this friday (NFP).
1 - 2% for day is more than enought for me if it proves to be steady.

The Demo account blew up testing different grid sizes on different pairs, with stop orders. I was testing on gbp/jpy with a thight grid size but large space from start price to the grid. I thought like: let the price choose where go and there will be the grid, but doing this it got stuck because the space from the upper grid and the lower grid make a recover really hard in the case the price goes against its first direction, it got stuck, and finally it blew up. I'm not worried, it was just an experiment and the lot size was aggressive. Only with the eur/usd it was gone until +300% and was still making profits but the gbp/jpy experiment killed it. Another demo with thight grid and less space between open price and the grid is making good profits, it's using semi-aggressive lots size and it's making 70% in less then 1 month (eur/usd and gbp/jpy only).

Thanks radityo for the EA and everybody here to contribute with the thread.
Have nice days!

Hello Chucrut!

Are your settings to version 1.2 yet?
I downloaded your settings but I did not understand your TargetProfit.

My settings are similar to yours but I'm stuck in a circle since last week and my TargetProfit are fixed in only $4.0.

PS: THANKS radityo!!! Great EA.

Hi!
Yes, still using the 1.2. It fits to me and until now I did not noticed nothing wired.
My TargetProfit is calculated on 3.5 pips for eur/usd and 4 pips for gbp/jpy
My GridSize is Spread+Commissions+TargetProfit+0.5Pips.
TargetProfit in the EA is in $. I calculed the value of 3.5 pips and put it there, that is all!

hi everyone,

i have a general question regarding EA...(referring to other EA you guys used, not radityo's EA)

have u ever encountered the EA trigger trades without any TP & SL even though the settings is clearly set TP & SL.

could it be the broker entered that trade?

Your statement is a little vague, because since it is Grid / Martingale, once set there is nothing else to do hope he does not go into margin call. Or am I wrong ?

you have to set up just the grid according on as market is, you have to be continuosly following the market, exactly as manual trading, else it'll be a disaster trading
