{quote} hello KGP. Sorry my english. i think almost everyone are using limits orders by now..are you using this settings yet? any test on live account? I've used in my live acount similar settings (like chucrut's settings) but i got stuck some times. Did you use any stop? thanks
dont apologise for your english...

and limit orders will get you sooner rather than later blown...stop orders the opposite...later rathen than sooner

the bottom end is how you handle your balance and withdrawals... thats what experience has shown so far...

so besides a money mgt of the account a "withdrawal mgt" of earnings

{quote} thanks for your answer. Did you mean it is not normal for the limit orders by using the EURUSD2? one more question, I am running the EA on H1 and My computer is a little slower for a few seconds, does this matter?
No. That's not what I meant.
The date-time in your PC might not sync with your timezone in your PC. This often happened, because we sometimes never care about timezone as long as date-time correct.
But in this case it does matter. Like what happened (in a few posts back), some fellow thought that everything was OK, but the EA behaves unexpectedly opened order when the time not supposed to run. If this is the case, the most obvious problem was to sync timezone and datetime.

That's why I told to you it doesn't matter where do you live or run this EA. As long as you have date-time and timezone sync, that shouldn't be any problem.
Example: I have 2 VPS in Brisbane, Australia. But both of them I have set to Singapore timezone, and datetime is Singapore as well.
Another example: I have 1 VPS in Florida, US. But both of them set to Singapore timezone and Singapore datetime.
That shouldn't be an issue.

Hi Radityo, is there the possibility to introduce a "done for the day rule"? For instance, I want to stop trading if the daily gain is 1.25% and I want to stop trading if the daily loss is 1%. Then the expert will re-start tomorrow. Thank you!
Small feature, but I think less effort as well.

OK, I'll park it under v2.X.
But the measurement will not be a "day", it will be easier for me to calculate it as a "timerange". Which means, if you set 23:00 - 01:00 it will be called as 1 timerange run.

Hi,

thanks for your EA, is superior.

In version 1.8, in source code you are have:

in example line 1413 -
Inserted Code
 if (IsTesting()) Sleep(500);

depend about this, is backtesting slow. I thinking can be better

Inserted Code
if (! IsTesting()) Sleep(500);

I hope you don't mind to remove that.
Yes, I have added that, since I want to simulate real-time order execution. In EA, no matter how many orders you've created, it keeps creating (all of them) in less than 100ms.

I have an issue a few weeks ago. Sometimes closed with negative profit. So i earn only half than Radityo did. When i change close order after x point from 1 to 3, then the issue is clear. All my cycle ended with positive profit. Total result as same as Radityo now. And i said work very good means, low drawdown (3-5%) and consistent profit.. Average is 1%. And thats enough for me. More than that is bonus

Yes, Only EurUsd since the spread for my ECN account (EurUsd)is the lowest than another pair, and this pair quite stable.

Hi, radityo: Would you please give more explanation for RecreationCountPerSide and LimitOrderCount?
Recreation Count (each side) a.k.a. Expand-Grid
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...on#post8398323
It is for expanding the grid when the current orders is not sufficient or the price is breaking through. Say, right now you have total 10 orders (5 upper, 5 lower). Either your 5 upper or 5 lower all are executed, EA will add more orders outside of it. While this setting, is to determine how much of the order (per side) need to be added. Going to rename this term as "Expand-Grid". Seems more understandable rather than recreation.

Limit Order Count -> in relation with Few Limit Orders a.k.a LIMIT orders then STOP orders.
Another type, some (inner grid) is LIMIT orders, while the outer is STOP orders. If you set Order Count each side is 5 (in total 10), and you set Limit Order Count to 3, the pattern of the grid would be 3 limit and 7 stop orders.

ok just to give you a feedback of my last demo spree after a few weeks with 3 demos (grid:30-40-50) on 3 brokers (9 total) each setup with 4 X 2 (1 stop and 1 limit) majors (eurusd-gbpusd-usdjpy-audusd) stop from the open of FRA until 1700 (GMT+1) and limit from 1700 until 2200 (GMT+1) things started to be crazy with 2-4% daily returns...the thing is that slowly but steadily the balance was getting bigger but equity not.... and they all got blown up... the worse was XM, after that was Roboforex and last was admiralmarkets i had also another test...
Hi KGP, what you do you learn from the blown up here? What's the advise?

Thanks man.
Yes, indeed this EA is not perfect (as I told earlier in this thread). That's why somewhere we need human intervention, like what happened last week, Fed Interest Rate and FOMC statement at 2:00am SGT, of course it won't stay and will blew up.
We know that this event is a big event same like NFP. So, stay out of it would be the best choice. My Live account would have blew up too if I don't stop it.

But I do hope the human intervention would be very less (I would say), as we need to revisit every week or month.

You put that code, backtesting is not slow, but in real run EA will be slow. Because the logic says
if is not in testing (which is real run), then sleep 500 milliseconds.
