Trapping System: Grid

Thanks cyberevil. Just to understand the daily start time, which broker did you use for carrying out the backtest?
I think this is the broker time and the settings shows that the EA is running 24 hours except no trades will be executed on Friday after 11:00am.
I hope you can elaborate on this.

Cyberevil can u take print screen on your settings? Your ide sound great

cyberevil is it only for ecn account it is not working on standard or classic account what the issue please can you tell me...??

Rename the .set file in .txt and then you can attach it to the forum.
Hello and thanks.

I have tried using various SL setting with no success.(forward test) Does not matter if its ecn or not. You can try an ecn demo, but still, you get butchered by the commission. Sure, in backtests it works great, but in forward tests, eats away the account like a fat chick eats a double mac. IMHO.
Best, Josh

Yes it certainly works great on demo, NFP was amazing to watch but now I'm live the slippage is killing me getting the basket all out of synch.

hi guys

today i run backtest on another account, it has 0 trades

i look at journal it says something like " incorrect array function"

what did i set wrong?

thanks for the kind words, I'm testing it on icmarkets and it seems to be doing good there in backrests using 2 pip spread. I'll try some live demo trading to see how it behaves.

attached is the set file in text format. See screenshot in previous post

lol, not that's site to imagine!

Indeed :-)
I have tried many setting with SL on forward test, it just bleeds the account.

Hi, all
I've backtested cyberevil settings at 99,9 % ticks (birt tick, everyone can replicate it), with 500$ from 01/sept/2014, and the account blew at 03/oct/2014. I´ve attached the balance. I think the same as JoshuaHope. I've backtested at 99,9% different settings with SL, and all finally blew soon or later.

I tried forward testing, but all fail ultimately. I think SL can not work well with this ea....and be profitable. I think my martingale grid idea might be work looking into. (above)
Best, Josh

Hello Cyberevil,
It is about both at the same time: how many times the EA (or any trading system) is right (ie. makes profit), and when it makes profit how that relates to when it makes a loss.
Using your numbers as an example if the EA is right:
-- 2 times out of 10 that means 2*2.6 = 5.2 vs. 8*-1 = -8 -> 5.2 - 8 = -2.8 loss
-- 3 times out of 10 that means 3*2.6 = 7.8 vs. 7*-1 = -7 -> 7.8 - 7 = +0.8 profit (~breakeven)
-- 4 times out of 10 that means 4*2.6 = 10.4 vs. 6*-1 = -6 -> 10.4 - 6 = +4.4 profit

So, yes a 1 vs 2.6 setup is quite a big risk/reward ratio because the system is already in breakeven at 30% success rate, however the question remains whether the EA reaches that success rate or not.

I do agree!

Aron...

please some one tell me why this error is showing ...in my real account

Nasir, this is not the ea discussed here. Mgrid is a completely different ea. Trade is disabled...is it possible the broker disabled your account? Some brokers dont like when your ea makes many stop or limit orders and they will block you.
Best, Josh

Hi all

Im sorry for my noobquestion but i have aproblem.

I want to open 2 accounts on same broker. (Real accounts)
I have one now.
How can i open one more account and robot are working on both.

Maybe answer:
Can i creat new account and put in everything (expert adv) and then log out and log in on the new account and both wotking at same time without im log on to them?

I hope somone understand my question.

//Zolando

you have to install two mt4 , it can open all the mt4 you want to, simply when go out the first dialog windows you have the oportunity of changing the name of group of mt4, so changes this name every time you want to instal a new mt 4 of the same broker

Zolando, if I understand correctly, you want to run 2 different accounts with the ea. Right? If you turn of the platform or log on to another account, the ea will not work. What you need is a VPS, then run 2 mt4 platforms on it. Just install in different directory. Each mt4 platform for 1 account.
Best, Josh

I made it.

I have 2 account on my vps server on same broker.

Thx bolsistico and JoshuaHope
