Hello!
Which parameter you changed in setting? You said "close order after x point from 1 to 3" is it referred as "Close Threshold" in the EA input? Please tell exact wording in input setting.

{quote} Basically when the EA is reaching the end time, in GTLIMIT2 I set to close all pending orders if nothing gets executed. This to avoid over-confident when actually the market is warming up and about to trending. During my testing (looong time when this thread started) and this was the reason one my account blew up, one day EUR/USD start to trend at 9am SGT, keep trending until the night. Not really sure what was happened. So, this is the reason we have to keep human intervention into the game. Just like "you do trade today / not trade today"...
You want to tell me that we start limited order EA when the marker hit a major TP, a great idea thanks!

To achieve it, could you pls. add a trigger to your EA which is a TP set manually.

The EA close all pending orders when the market moved for 5-10 pips, how to close this function?

thanks i will look at them later...i wish there was a more efficient way...imagine that i cant find easily my own demo setups posted here!

do you enable this setup on one pair or multiple pairs (on same account)? if yes -multiple- which ones and at which broker (to check spreads)?

Sorry forgot to mention
was only trading EUR/USD but now I realize this system is best for ranging pairs I scan around to see whats best, so i have just started silver and gold

But not together as I said before I trade manually NZ AU JP time zones as its less volatile and you get small moves which seems to suit this EA and then let it go over night but that is risky.



So Silver ranges nicely and so does gold they will break out soon enough you just have to keep an eye on the news etc




And as for that do we look at a range on daily or 1H
I start with the daily and work down

I will try this system until Christmas and if still going well may try a live account next year

Not very good at typing

Hi,


I found some connections between Grid step and Daliy AV, but i'm not sure if its useful or not.


EUR/USD GBP/USD AUD/USD 每手一个点的变动对应着10美金的盈亏（$10 per point each lot)

USD/CHF USD/CAD 每手每点价值＝10/当时汇率 (10/current price)

USD/JPY 每手每点价值＝1000/当时汇率 (1000/current rate)

All grid system have a problem, how to set grid step? Eur/USD has Daliy AV from 50-500pips, a fixed grip step with limited order cycle will blow up account if things like 911 happens (you can't anticipate accident!).

E/U with 85 DAV, Grid step is 8.5 take profit is $85, lot size is 85/233(fibo magic NO.)=0.36 lot each.

Hi,
Thanks,
I do not see any difference in set file of offshore and Radityo except Close Order after x(start pint) wherein Adityo has 2 and offshore has 3. Can you explain how does it make difference in profit.

Excel explains everything...

Each pair has same $TP for 0.01 trader, that mean this system can work on all pairs.

But we still need suggestions from radityo

Hi radityo,

Would you like to do me a favor by sharing your EA with a price active trigger and a price stop trigger?

This will improve the winning rate for stop mode dramatically.

FOB usually play like this: break obvious nearest stoploss then reverse.

My old system will place buy orders at lower red line and stop trading if market break seller's stoploss before fill up buy orders.

Sell stop vice versa.

There is a problem, if market went down or went up directly, I will lose money....

If I use your brilliant strategy, it will be a no fail trade!

{quote} Hopefully someone can verify (I think this should be right anyway): So for the GTLIMITEURUSD2 using this settings file (GTLIMITEURUSD2.set.txt) and v1.7, you are open only from SGT 1 to 6 AM right? In central time that appears to be 11AM to 4PM; I'm in Chicago and trying to make sure that I have this up and running at the same time as everyone else.

NO WONDERRRR....
I thought you've just changed the lot size or target higher...
But I think it is the same risk like when you set the lot size or target higher, just that the impact may not be too significant.

Thank God, I've put all the necessary thing configurable.
So you guys can play around with the settings... you sly devil!!

Good.... continue...
But make sure you test it on demo. I know the temptation to try this is so high, but remember, higher profit means higher risk. So please manage the settings carefully.

{quote} With "Close Orders after X point" do you mean "Close Orders after X (start points), i don't find the parameter you are saying. Your 01:00 to 06:00 what would means in GMT? Same as Radityo? 17:00 -> 22:00 that would means London Close to Ny Close right? I'm sorry but quite don't understand your time! Ahah. And so the secret is that you are running GTLIMITEURUSD2 on gold and silver also? Ahah yeah! That's sounds good, specially in silver...
If you use v1.8, the setting is now changed to "Middle Point Activation (Order Count)".
Which means, middle point closure will be activated after n number of orders are executed.

Can't understand..
If you want to close / stop EA manually, click on "Stop Next Cycle" then "Force Close All".

I guess you're talking about Middle Point closure. EA will close if it reaches the middle point (a point where EA starts the cycle). You need to change Close Type to "Target Based (Standard)" if you want to turn Middle Point off.
