Trapping System: Grid

You need to do speedtest from inside the server, bro.
Which country is your VPS? If it's London or US, it should be good. Otherwise, try to select different server. You see my pic it has more than 10 DC server, try one the fastest.

That was a good ass woo-pin' last night but still alive

Radityo

when I start the Ea manually i can only do it on one pair and a time, is there a setting that will allow me to trade more than one at a time?????

Thanks in advance for an answer

Good advise, Bad luck yesterday...... $-52 now!



one pip less to my tp....but i have solutions already.... a good lesson to me!

luckly, this is a demo trade~

Today is a good day for news trading, my plan:



I guess today a breakout will happen on EU, 70% going up,30 going down

In order to turn the table, I will double lot size.

Hi all of my friends,
It's OFFICIAL, I've finally decided to release v1.8 to all of you. I know it has been too long from v1.7 to v1.8. But I do hope that I can release a good version of it. I have done testing, so far no issues based on my understanding.

But before you upgrade, please give full attention on the changes I've made.

1. Button color changes when "Stop Next Cycle" is clicked.
2. Fixes on dasboard / display - the top left display.
3. Fixes on Middle Point issue.
   It was closed only when All Orders in Profit without considering its position in the middle. Of couse there will be quite a lot of dramatic changes. But I do hope it is for our profit.
4. Added the Lot Step logic for broker with 0.1 lot step (non-standard).
   Some broker may have an issue when order started with 0.35 or 0.24 (non-standard of 0.01 step). Note that I can't test this, since I don't have any idea of demo brokers which has lot step 0.1.
5. New Close Type: Target Based OR Middle Point OR Threshold.
   As per the request earlier, Target Based OR Middle Point OR Threshold.
6. Added Recalculation Mode.
   Recalculation mode is where the recalculation of Target Profit, and/or Stop Loss are happened. If you set your Dynamic Base to Equity, the target profit/stop loss can change dynamically together with the equity in a single cycle. By default this recalculation is turned off.
7. Term changes on parameter names.
   Some terms are changed, such as:
   1. Close Type:
      1. All Orders Opened or Target Based ► Target Based OR All Orders Opened
      2. Right in Start Point or Target Based ► Target Based OR Middle Point
      3. Threshold or Target Based ►Target Based OR Threshold

   2. Order Operation:
      1. A few LIMIT orders ► LIMIT orders then STOP orders

   3. Profit Taking Mode:
      1. With Commission and Swap ► Include Commission and Swap
      2. Without Commission and Swap ► Exclude Commission and Swap

   4. Stop Time Mode ► Stop Time Action:
      1. Close when no open order ► Force close orders if not opened

   5. Use Start and Stop from Global Variable ► Use Stop-Start from Vertical Line
   6. Start and Stop Global Variable Keyword ► Stop-Start Line Keyword
   7. Open Type ►Placing Order Type
   8. Order Count (each side) ► Grid Order Count (each side)
   9. Enable Max Order Count Limiter ► Enable Max Order
   10. Maximum Order Count (total) ► Max Order Count (total)
   11. Recreation Count (each side) ► Grid Auto-Expand Count (each side)
   12. Limit Orders Count (for Few Limit Orders) ► Limit Grid Orders Count
   13. Recreation Threshold (in Points) ► Auto-Expand Threshold (Points)
   14. Grid Step (in Points) ► Grid Step (Points)
   15. Current Price Interval ► Current Price Interval (Points)
   16. Unique ID ► Unique ID (Magic Number)
   17. Target Profit Dynamic Base ► Target Profit Calculation Source
   18. Stop Loss Dynamic Base ► Stop Loss Calculation Source
   19. Middle Point Range (from Ask and Bid) ► Middle Point Range (Points)
   20. Close Orders After X (Start Points) ► Middle Point Activation (Order Count)

8. Added calculation of Target Profit, Stop Loss and Lot size in first run of EA.

With regards of the changes of terms above, and to avoid errors when you upgrade, I will provide the latest set file for v1.8. Not much being changed on v1.7 to v1.8, but I do notice major changes of the set file in post #1140 and the set file that is produced from v1.7 (and of course v1.8). Hence, I will also give you the set file as in the attachment below. Do note that I will only provide for GTSTOP (now is GTS_EU1) and GTLIMITEURUSD2 (now is GTL_EU2).

For better sharing, the shared set file of GTL_EU2.set below:

1. I have changed the time to GMT time which provides more universal date and time. So, your task that previously you need to convert the date and time to your local, now is not required. You have only 1 task remaining which the EA / set file can't help, which is to ensure the datetime settings of your PC / VPS, must match with its timezone settings.
2. I have reduced the timerun from 1am to 6am SGT (17:00 to 22:00 GMT) to close 1 hour faster (at 6am SGT or 22:00 GMT).
3. As suggested to minimize the risk, I have increased the Grid Step from 75 to 100.
4. I have added stop loss dynamic-balance to -0.5. So, if the loss reaching half of your balance, it will close all trades.
5. I have increased Middle Point Range from 5 to 10 points. So, Middle Point will be much more easier to reach.

I have not reduced the Target Profit, but I do encourage you to observe. If you feel the current profit is too high, you can reduce it.

Does anybody log this issue in Codeplex?

need to know more explanation on it. I can't understand "max 1 trade every candle" term.
"hello, congratulations great job.You have to ask if you can add the function max 1 trade every candle or that and stops for a certain time and then restarts itself.
I noticed that when it reaches the profit as a result of news, everything closes in profit, but then again right away and sometimes gets stuck for some time.
I hope I can soon donate a part of my profit.
thanks a lot
luca"

Thank you Mr. Radityo for sharing your idea , effort and expert . I download last version of ea and I will test it next week as gladly .

Good job

Hi, sorry, I didn't see your response before.
Start Manually, the concept is to start 1 cycle outside of the specified date and time. If you want to start multiple, then you don't need to Start Manually, instead you will need set the Start Time and Stop Time accordingly.

That is indeed happened many times, it's the characteristic of stop orders, bro. Sometimes you will see almost reach TP, but then retracted and move to the other side of the grid executing some orders, then go back again.

Hi Radytio, thank you very much for your effort!

Hi mate!
Really impressive the work you are doing. It's a great tool. Thanks for your effort.
Will look at it better in the week end. Before upload the real account I want try in demo because I want to see how behaves the fixed Middle Point issue. Because I think that some of the cycles closed with the old "All Orders in Profit" logic would not be closed because they didn't reach the right middle point, but I think this could be solutionaeted by increasing "Middle Point Range" = "Current Price Interval".

I like this EA but I hope it won't became too complex. I think it doesn't need to much more...I think it's better to study how and when let it work...I say this because I don't want that it becomes like many other EA a super complex spaceship that is impossible to understand and menage...

EDIT: Stop Orders worked well today during London session, I stopped all like every friday 1 hour before London Close because I don't want to have open trades during the week end but then I let it run for one cycle during US red news. It managed to grab 30 pips during the first spike...didn't try to grab the retrace, more than enough with a tremendous 30% return this week powered by stops and limits orders together...
Have a nice week end to all...

Hi Radityo!
Excellent job done! Thank you so much for your intelligent and hard work for all traders. Haven bless you abundantly.

thanks, great job
