Expanding Grid

thanks Mr. Bauta, great expert ............ good weekend

Hi, I was tested version 103.22 this week on live demo account.


Results : so surprised , can be beautiful things with this version some time as for me. Thank you Mr. Bauta for your great effort to us.

Yes, symmetry2 is extremely profitable but it is failing on me. still working on the right settings. It will be the future of ExpandGrid.
Hope it do not die,
stay tuned,
bauta

This week we will continue playing symmetry v21 swapping to mChannel on news releases. Many this week.
I will continue testing FloppyChannel and v22. If better results develop, I will post here.
Good lock trading!

Hi, better week for all. Thank you.

Obama speech about terrorism in about 15 minutes should not move the market, but
Just in case, I will set all my explorers, right now, to mChannel till the speech finished.

Hi,
Sorry for late report!
Here's what happened on last week:
Pairs: GBPUSD, EURUSD, AUDUSD, USDCHF(Stopped in midweek)
Trade style: sExpandGrid
Grid Factor: 10
Profit: 173$ on live account

challenge: USDCHF was behaved very ranging and I believe it is good for symmetry style but not sExpandGrid!
The maximum drawdown was about 345$ belong to USDCHF, therefore I stopped using it in sExpandGrid style.

bauta, just seen your pm, you have a reply in you inbox.

Hi Bauta, let's say I want to close this chart with 50$ profit , what should I do ? Can you tell me please ? Thank you.

$50 profit or $50 loss?. In the image it is 56 loss.

Hi, I want to set EA to 50$ profit for once.

I was stuck on the USDCAD ( want to try ver. .018 with simple symmetry on it Today)

akkus45,
sorry to heard you are in trouble with USDCAD.
Note I did advise you to keep it slow, you should be doing only one pair, EURUSD 0.01 lot symmetry.
OK, don't panic here, USDCAD is still pending its pullback. in this case it should go below 1.3462. This target is low because you are getting Not Enough Money errors, your breakeven should be at the first red line, well above the breakeven in your image. (see my image)

Changing to release 018 or something below will not fix the money requirement for big drawdowns here.

in this business is important the discipline and no change what is working, trying something else will not fix the aggressiveness, it will create more trouble.

if this pair end with a loss, learn from it and don't try to blame release 021, ExpandGrid require a well funded account and it will fail on small accounts, but in this case, EURUSD is playing well and you should be there been well too.

my advice is just to be patient, USDCAD may pullback but it will take long.
Set all your pairs in closure mode (target=0.01 and Continue=false), after everything closes, start over with EURUSD only.
You need to close everything because USDCAD is locking your money and the other pairs need money too. if you see an small loss in any pair, close it, tray to get out as sooner as possible.
you may set USDCAD target to -30, it is a loss you may accept.

OK, don't feel bad about this, all of us are learning from it and that happens to me before, I am not the best one, I did learn from my mistakes too.

thanks,
bauta

I did created a new explorer, Symmetry_021 5K.
I will be using this explorer for all of you asking for small accounts, note this one is $5,000 (5K)
The settings/technics I will be using here are: (ExpandGrid103.021)

1. EURUSD for the fist 5K, symmetry, lot 0.01
2. One not EURUSD correlating pair for balance above 5K, now it is NZDUSD, symmetry and lot 0.01
3. Close orders with profit of 0.10 or better when Net lots is zero. (Label on chart displays yellow)
4. Swap to mChannel on news releases.
5. keep it running 24/5 (continue=true)
6. it needs three (3) months to go live.

I will keep you posted,

Ok, I'm sorry Mr. Bauta. I will do all your instructions , thank you.

I included USDCAD to my Multistyle-2 portfolio and was worried as well due to the strong trending today. But it got out with profit and a maximum DD below 60€. Very promising in regard of the 120 pips rallye without noticeable retracement.

I may add, that i use a fixed grid_increment of 35 pips. This way the exponential recovery of the symmetry part is acting way less aggressive.

Daily report
I closed Exness account and transferred all balance(910$) to Fxopen for supporting USDCAD's trouble. Thank you.

Better late than never.
Last weeks Results. Profit of $904. I added USDCHF on Thursday so in all I had 4 Symbols AUDUSD,EURUSD,USDCHF,GBPJPY running.
Maximum drawdown was $229.

This week I am running two MT4 Instances. One with the same setup as last week (I want to run this profitable for two months before going live). The other is running the same 4 symbols but using Version .22 with an new account size of $1000 (I expect this one wont make it but we'll see).

This is what I am looking for:
Release 022, symmetry2, year 2009. I need this to pass from 2008 to 2015.
stay tuned,

it's very good result.
