2. if yes, so what is the point of increased balance if the equity going far below

That is correct,
the script does not keep running. What the scripts does it create a file with the parameters, then EG103 read the file and change styles or go to closure mode, depending of your selection.
When the time expires, EG103 goes back to the original style.

all of charts are lighting purple except for 103.021... edit : 21 and 19 versions were escape... ( 10 minute later from post message ) {image}
it is ok to run many versions, but note ExpandGrid do not centralize signals on a server or something like that. it means you will get different setups at the same time because EG executes orders individually on its own chart.
OK, let me explain a bit, suppose that you do not use different releases, per example, create fourth charts of EURUSD in the same terminal, add ExpandGrid_021 to each one. After running for 3 or 4 hours you will notice that the charts are not in sync.
What happens here is that ExpandGrid works on each chart independently and orders does not execute at the same time on each chart, it depends of computer performance, transmission to the broker and in live account broker manipulation of orders, etc.
if you send 4 long and 4 short orders at the same time to the broker, it will not execute all of then at the same price. Note that we as retail traders are not allowed to submit limit orders at the current price. The ExpandGrid orders are market orders.

The more stable and heavy tested release is the 021. In release 022, the symmetry2 is still on testing and demoing, the other styles are the same as 021.

I do prefer you to test 021 or 022 with different parameters instead of finding the differences between releases, that will help all of us.

Once again, it is OK to test it how you want, no problem with that. Just want you to understand how the market works and how the EA submit the order. This EA does not use pending orders, it submit a market order when conditions trigger.

Keep working on it, we will get it and all here will have an extra income in the future.
thanks for your help and support,
Bauta

Closing early this week - I have a few large open positions that I don't want to leave open over the weekend, so I'm moving all experts into close mode (set continue to false). Will post weekly reports from both Symmetry and Symmetry2 when I get a chance to on sunday.

EG103 022 Revised. Please re-download.
New style added:
scalperGrid: This style is FIFO complaint and it do not hedge positions. It is based on symmetry, places orders to buy bellow price and to sell above price. It multiply quantities by two.
How make it compliant?
leave the defaults values, now if you change parameters, be sure that target is less than half of one grid increment. Example, if increment is 15, target should be 5 or 6.
What I do to no complicate it is multiply the lot quantity by 10 and set it as target. Note that target minimum is 0.2. Example, if your lot is 0.01 target will be 0.2, if lot is 0.02 target should be 0.2, if lot is 0.3, target should be 0.3, if lot is 0.1, target is 1.0
got it.
this is an scalper style.
good luck,
bauta

Running EG103 022 with agressive "scalperGrid" style might be interesting during Asian Sessions on "sleeping pairs", e.g. USD/CAD.

Targeting ONLY ONE winner - with 0.5% TP - per session would result in a healthy 12% profit per month.

Correct. EUR/GBP should be another appropriate candidate. Although sudden and relatively major moves could happen even on "sleeping pairs" during the Asian session, some retracement - therefore profit - is practically guaranteed.

Finding the optimal combination of grid size, starting lot and TP with the appropriate account size for that ONE SPECIAL (0.5% TP) TRADE of the day could mean finding the PIN CODE for the "Forex ATM".
