{quote} 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".

Yes, I will work on it and share any promising findings with Master Bauta and all other actively contributing participants of this thread (privately).

I have been testing 103.021 for 2 weeks on E/U and G/U, since this Tuesday I swapped G/U for N/U.
Had a brief go on E/Chf but dropped that.

E/U and N/U both hit 5.12 lots once.

sorry to ask a basic question, after the grid closes and the status is flat, when does it open positions again ? sometimes i note it opens new series immediately, sometimes not.

@Bauta

I am interested in exploring the scalping aspect of the EA on "sleeping pairs" (as mentioned above), and for that it would be very helpful if a StartHour, StartMinute, StopHour and StopMinute function/parameters could be added.

A Max. Profit per day parameter would be also useful, so - after reaching 0.5% daily TP - no further trades would be opened on that day.

Thanks!

P.S. Current parameters with the added script would work for 1 day, however, incorporating the above parameters in the core EA would enable backtesting the "ONE TRADE PER DAY" concept.

@Bauta

Another recommendation:

1. It would be a great improvement for the EA if it could decide by itself in which trading style to trade: symmetrical vs. mChannel.

2. To help the EA to "decide" which style to use, the EA could utilize a fast (i.e. minimally lagging) volatility indicator.

3. In summary: above a certain Volatility level the EA would swithch into mChannel mode, then it would switch back to Symmetrical trading when market volatility diminishes.

Probably there are many good free voltalility indicators on the net. Personally I prefer to use a volume based volatility indicator excised from the famous RobinVol EA. Should you find the above idea useful, I can send you my volaitlity indicator.

Hi,
Please be advised I was out of town this week and couldn't reach the internet to change the style to mChannel during big impact news on Thursday!
Unfortunately the USD became crazy and damaged my account (-900$).
I start to work with the latest EA and mChannel mode on EURUSD only! (Abandoned sExpandGrid)

Thanks for your idea,
It will be to late to switch styles using indicators, the style must me switched one hour before the move. There are not indicator that do that.
Using news feed it will not work either, we do not switch styles for every high importance news, we do it for selected news only, the ones that proved on the past that may move the market, like FOMC this week.

Note that lately I do not switch styles, I do closure mode instead. switching styles is not a good idea in general, it is best set current trades in closure mode and set a new chart with magic 350 for mChannel than swapping one existing setup from one style to other.

sorry to heard that,
note I did not change styles in my symmetry grid explores and they finished the week in good, including the 5K one. Revise your setups and be sure you are not over trading the grid.

Week Plan
this week I will continue demoing symmetry2 (022) and scalperGrid. Wednesday, two hours before FOMC I will set all explorers in closure mode. Not mChannel setup recommended here.
Drawdowns continues to be high, so the grid require a well funded account. Please do not trade it in small accounts before testing and demoing it with the capital you are planning in to.
Trading is a business and it have to be planned, is not just jumping money there and expect it will work for you, you need to demo at least three months and if it do well, then start live slowly.
If you don't have a well funded account, do not trade grid, you will lose the money, any grid you trade will require money.
EA103 do not lose, can not lose, is lock of money the one that lose, is the not enough money error the one that lose. If you are getting this error it means your grid will not survive, you must be so luck to get out of it without losing the money. EA130 do not closes sets or cycles with a loss, it do not use any king of stop loss.
Please, do not post here that you lose money because EG103, you did lose money because you play it without money.

I will continue working on this EA, I am looking for a best drawdown possible and I will keep doing it, I do not have the amount of capital it needs, reason I will continue finding it best drawdown scenario.

stay tuned and good luck to all of you,
bauta

Hi Bauta,

2 questions, did you see at 11 am GMT tomorrow ECB president Draghi speaks, are you not planning to set your symmetry to closure mode?

For 103.021 what size account is required for EU with standard settings?

Question1: no, I do not do closure mode for speeches, they do not move the market that much.
