{quote} Would you have a MyFxBook link to your account? (It is much easier to analyze results on MyFxBook than on FxBlue.)
No, I used myfxbook for many years and had 7 running this year and 1 by 1 they stopped updating.
Someone suggested I try FxBlue, which I did not like at first, now I am used to it I much prefer it.

What about you, are you testing EG, where is you myfxbook/TE?

Important

Dears,
I saw something strange and interesting on Wednesday!
The EA was running on two accounts (as you may see on my trading explorers) in below charts:
EG103(Symmetry22): EURUSD, USDJPY, AUDJPY, GBPUSD
Shamim1981(Live): EURUSD, GBPUSD

I run the EA with same Magic number (301) on all the charts and here what just happened:
- GBPUSD get crazy and the account with two active charts got serious level of stress, many positions were opened on GBPUSD and it was scary!
- On the other hand on the account with Four pairs the GBPUSD positions were different story! Less positions and everything much more better

I believe when using the EA with same magic number on Four charts, the EA sees them as one unified chart and therefore ONE profit calculation takes place which will definitely affect the behavior and as I saw it is better in volatility because it will load balance positions! (in my opinion)

EUR/GBP has been in a range since march of this year, of course the spread is larger than EUR/USD. I would demo it first though.

Regarding the magic number, if testing symmetry and scalper on the same platform I use 301 and 302, you could do the same for different pairs too, although 4 pairs does seem a lot for that account size.

Nope,
Target is by pair-magic number. There are not different pairs total profit target here. if you have EURUSD symmetry with 301 and EURUSD mChnnel with 301 then target will be combined. But if you have EURUSD with 301 and GBPUSD with 301, target will be one on each. The AE does not look at other symbols.
The code is: if (Symbol() == OrderSymbol() && Magic==OrderMagicNumber()) then do something....

In this scenario, one explorer closing well and not the other, look at capital. On the live account you get "Not Enough Money" error. It means, the EA was not able to average down the breakeven point. That is it.
If you want to compare explorers, set then at the same capital and conditions. Do it apple to apple and then your assumptions will be better evaluated.
One more time and to clear thinks a bit. This EA works in its own chart, individually. If you set the same pair with the same number (mistake by the way), then they will not work with they logic, they will get confused, one may be opening orders and the other closing it immediately. You must understand what magic number means before mixing up many setups on the same pair.

always change magic number, having two charts, same pair and same magic may give unexpected results.

@Bauta

Would you please make the Start and Stop times adjustable in the parameters (StartHH, StartMM, StopHH, StopMM)?

After StopHH/StopMM is triggered, the EA would automatically close running basket and "go to sleep", i.e. activate Continue: FALSE function on the given day (until StartHH/StopMM is activated again).

Thanks!

Thank you, Norman!

As mentioned before, identifyong the right "battlefield" (i.e. the most ranging pairs with preferably low spreads) and the most optimal time periods for the "battle" (i.e. the most ranging time period of the day, avoidance of red news, etc.) could be an ADDITIONAL EDGE to this strategy (which is why I have requested Master Bauta in the above post to allow adjustment of trade hours, so users could experiment with different settings).

Thanks Dear Buata for your great advice!

I'll adjust the system based on new rules! (different Magic numbers on EURUSD, USDJPY, GBPUSD, AUDJPY)

{quote} Thanks Dear Buata for your great advice! I'll adjust the system based on new rules! (different Magic numbers on EURUSD, USDJPY, GBPUSD, AUDJPY)
It is not different magic per pair, it is different magic for same pair, different style. Example:

Running only one set per pair, this are the magic's:
EURUSD magic=301
GBPUSD magic-301
USDJPY magic=301
USDCAD magic=301
GBPJPY magic=301

Now, if you want to run EURUSD many times, with different styles, or different increments, etc, then use 350 for the second one, 351 for the third and so on. Example
EURUSD symmetric magic=301
EURUSD mChannel magic=350
EURUSD FloppyChannel magic=351

GBPUSD symmetric magic=301
GBPUSD mChannel magic=350
GBPUSD FloppyChannel magic=351

Got it?

You are welcome MG.

Your request is even more relevant this week as Friday is a bank holiday and the markets are closed so we would need to manually set the EA Continue parameter to false and set take profit to 0.1 on Thursday afternoon or before.

I look forward to the next 4 days testing a few ideas.

Excellent job! Thank you!

Two questions:

1. What settings did you use for the backtest?

2. What was the largest Grid level?

EG103 022a Release:
What is new?
MoneyTakeProfit parameter renamed to TakeProfit
Symmetry settings section added:

TakeProfitAtLevel: if true, will close positions in profit at the level (v022), if set to false will keep position (v021)

OrderMultiplier: The multiplier factor for the orders. Default is 2.

General settings section added:

StartTimeLocal: start time using local computer time in 24 hours format.

EndTimeLocal: end time using local computer time. Grid will be set at closure mode after this time. it will resume when StartTimeLocal is triggered.

New file has been installed in Scalper mode with fix 3.5 Euro profit per trade or basket on multiple pairs.

The scalper mode is the most intriguing setting to me, so I am going to concetrate my forward tests along this line.

Thank you, Master Bauta!
