Can anyone recommend a basic, simple Grid EA? Ta.
look in Market, maybe?https://www.mql5.com/en/market
If you ask me to code/fix your EA... it's probably not for free...

{quote} 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.
)Is the v1.8 officially stable and released?

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...
{image} USD/CAD DAV 93 Grid step 9.3 TP $93 * (1/1.3163)=70.6 lot size=93/233=0.39 {image} UJ DAV 74 GS 7.4 TP $74*(100/121.67)=60.82 LS=74/233=0.31
{quote} We have plenty of time todaynobody pull the pin before 15:29. {image} 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
I'm focusing right now for EUR/USD. Since:
- the simplest spread
- volatility
- ranging market at off time
- There are 50+ pairs over there to try, and my VPS is already full, who would buy a VPS for me to test?
That's why I share this EA to all of you guys, so you can also try on another pair, tweak the settings, and share back to us whether it is profitable. (Like what Offshore did, it was awesome try).
But, remember that each pair, each single pair, has its own characteristics. GOLD is a large truck, when it moves, it moves, no one can stop. SILVER is like an earthquake scale, so many ranging here and there.
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. Exp. {image} 10-28 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...
Then you may not need my help.
You just set the Start Time and End Time at impossible range (like 00:00:00 to 00:00:01), adjust the Current Price Interval and Grid Step. Then when the market reaching at desired price and you want to start it, click on Start Manually.

{quote} Still using v1.7, and unbelievable but in one account still v1.2 (it never gave me a single problem, great programming skills mate!
Seriously maaan, v1.2??? It's 2015 and you're using v1.2?
Then maybe unconsciously I made a pattern like Microsoft did. Using v1.2 is like you're still using the great windows xp in 2015...
Enough joking... I'm still doing documentation for it. I hope I can release it next week. Not released yet. A (kind of) major changes actually, so I'll post the modified set file as well when I'm releasing it, plus I'll adjust the settings to GMT rather than Singapore time.

I am using the settings: GTLIMITEURUSD.set.txt
It looks to work better on the long term. (mt4 test docet)
I have also set the time to
- Weekly Start Day: Monday
- Weekly Start Time: 23:00:00
- Weekly Stop Day: Friday
- Weekly Stop Time: 11:00:00
As seen on your post #1143
Am I up to speed with this great EA?
I still have a doubt on the trading time. I am from London and I am not sure if the EA is synced to my actual trading time.

Yeah v1.2 rulez, it already given me a 100% and still running on a live account!
I grow up with xp and it was a masterpiece and now every 1 years or less there is an update and bla bla bla, go with what works! Don't care the age ahah. Like happens with many EAs, after a while from simple and useful machines they become indecipherable spaceships full of lights and settings, filters ...
It works, just it. When it won't I'll change it!

{quote} Can't understand..If you want to close / stop EA manually, click on "Stop Next Cycle" then "Force Close All". {quote} 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.
Let me say it in another way.
pls. Add this code to your EA
EA close all orders at High = 1.3111
EA close all orders at Low = 1.2911
EA start trading at price = 1.2950
That means EA start at 1.2950, make some B/S stop orders.
I guess that the market will reach 1.3111 or 1.2911, so I use this strategy.
if(High[0]>=EA close all orders at High || low[0]<=EA close all orders at Low) Closeall;
Do you catch me now?

Update from my end
GTALL is basically EURCHF/EURGBP/REBOOT/EURUSD2 running on one account and on one pair (EURUSD).
Quite interesting to see the results as I was expecting GTALL to represent the combination of EURCHF/EURGBP/REBOOT and EURUSD2 in terms of profits however it behaves quite differently. I suppose this is due to the shared account of all those individual EAs and the fact it ought to be using the balance/equity for its functionalities.
GTALL from the stats so far for this week states 2% daily with a < 5% DD. Lets see whether this continues
We ought to have a centralized mechnism of storing all the set files along with their forward tests to compare and figure out the best combinations.

What if we wrong? we can still close orders because it takes time to reverse the market.

{quote} Congrats! Yes, stop orders + NFP dropping like a bomb = 341 pips in less than 1 minute Thanks Rad and everyone else here! {quote} v1.2 - Old but gold
Thanks for confirming the time zone earlier! I have another question about the takeprofit: I'm using the TargetProfitDynamicBase==DBBalance (Balance of account) version. The logic should be this:
DyTargetProfit = AccountBalance() * TargetProfitMult
So this should be:
DyTargetProfit = 11,000 * 0.015 (from the settings file provided earlier).
DyTargetProfit = 165
Does this mean that once the floating P&L reaches $165, this should close all out and start the cycle again? I'm looking through the code and still cannot seem to figure this out. I have hit that amount recently and it did not close all out for profit so I am wondering what is up there. I actually had 2 buys and 2 sells for about $230 profit but it did not close so I am pretty confused about what is supposed to happen here- when this is expected to close out profits and start again.
Thanks for all of your help and hard work!

EDIT: I think my issue was that all in either "OP_BUY" opened buy orders or "OP_SELL" open sell orders individually were not all in profit ("AllPositiveProfit" was not true for EITHER all OP_BUY or OP_SELL)? Per these lines in CheckOrders():
for (int i = OrdersTotal(); i >= 0; i--)
{
int Chk = 0;
Chk = OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS);
if (Chk > 0 && OrderMagicNumber() == MagicNumber)
{
ActiveOrders = true;
double Profit = GetProfit();
TotalProfit += Profit;
int OrdType = OrderType();
if (OrdType == OP_BUY)
{
BuyCount += 1;
if (Profit <= 0) AllPositiveProfit = false;
}
else if (OrdType == OP_SELL)
{
SellCount += 1;
if (Profit <= 0) AllPositiveProfit = false;
}
(In IsTimeToClose() function), would hit this as true:
bool IsTargetReached = ((TotalProfit >= TargetProfit && TargetType == TTFixed) || (TotalProfit >= DyTargetProfit && TargetType == TTDynamic));
THEN this is true for that default close type (#2 orCTAllOrdersExecuted):
(CloseType == CTMiddlePoint && (
IsTargetReached || IsLossAccepted || ((((BuyCount + SellCount) >= CloseMiddlePointAftOrders && CloseMiddlePointAftOrders > 0) || CloseMiddlePointAftOrders <= 0)
BUT THE SECOND PART OF THIS WILL NOT TRIGGER (since AllPositiveProfit is not true for either OP_BUY or OP_SELL)
&& AllPositiveProfit && Ask <= AskTH && Bid >= BidTH)))
THEN, in OnTick(), it hits this as false (since AllPositiveProfit is not true):
if (((IsTimeToClose()) || (StopTimeMode == STMForceCloseAll && IsInTimeRange(DailyStopTime)) || (StopTimeMode == STMForceCloseNoOpenOrder && (BuyCount + SellCount) == 0 && IsInTimeRange(DailyStopTime)))
&& (!CheckIsCorrupted || (CheckIsCorrupted && IsCorrupted()))) //if (IsTimeToClose() && (!CheckIsCorrupted || (CheckIsCorrupted && IsCorrupted())))
{
if (CloseMode == CMInternal)
{
CloseOrders();
}
else if (CloseMode == CMExtended)
{
CloseOrdersFast();
}
ResetOnClose();
}
*APOLOGIES FOR ANY CONFUSION and hopefully I do not cause any here- I'm just trying to step through the logic for when this would Take Profit given the default settings here: (GTLIMITEURUSD2.set.txt)

Can you please advise me how to use during NFP? when to start and when to stop? and what what set file you use?
I appreciate your response.
