For Dynamic Auto-Expand (All Orders), would you please check if it is correct "BuyCount == SellCount"?

How about "Middle Point" works when OTDynamicRecreationAll is selected?

Thanks!

That's correct only.
The intention was to make sure the count of buy and sell are same, and then compare it either buy or sell count with the grid count, which is DyOrderCountPerSide.

So, in short, this logic will be TRUE if all orders are opened. i.e: you set fixed grid, each side 30 orders. In total you would have 60 orders. If all 60 are opened, then it will Auto-Expanding the grid.
If you ask me to code/fix your EA... it's probably not for free...

Hi Guys, I think I may want to slow down a little bit. I know this week is quite stormy plus with earthquake, all accounts are affected. I do hope current state of your account is closed with profit. Unless you started with manual, then I can't tell whether you still have open order or not. Tonight I'm going to stop trade for a while, and continue the rest next week or next year. As I informed earlier, I announce GTL_EU2 and GTLIMITEURUSD2 is considerably mid-high risk set. This is due to the last night event where it managed to trend in the early...
Hi Radityo,
Would like to share with you my setting.. So far, my account has grown by 260% since end of Sep'15. I have 20 grid with 5 pips interval, which can tolerate up to 100pips at any one time. I turn off midprice closing and also set it to target based of 5pips. I'll keep adjusting the target based $ when the balance is growing. My EA running time is from Monday 6.30am - 11.30am (sg time), Tuesday - Friday (if red news at 11pm sg time, then running time is from 1am - 8.30am; if no red news at 11pm, then running time is from 12am - 8.30am). Similar to your account last week, my account almost burst (total open positions up to 18, if the price continue down by another 15pips, my account will be gone). As shared by slianto before, this EA is great, the only thing to manage is withdrawal when the balance reach certain target. Therefore, I plan to withdraw 200% profit when it reach 300%, so I have one more try if the first 200% burst. Merry Christmas and happy new year 2016 to all of you.. Green pips!!!

{quote} Please note that the unit is in points, not in pips. If you happen to have 4 digits currency pair (for example: your current price is something like 1.0976), then you have to divide all points configuration by 10. Usually this is for Grid Step, or Current Price Interval. There're another configuration also which is based in points. Please read at the documentation. Your error 130 is most likely related to the set file that you've used. All set file I've distributed is for 5 digits....
Hey Radityo!

Sorry for the late reply. Holiday season has me away from the machine longer than i anticipate Seasonal greetings to all!
The loss is fine bro.. its all part of the game. Luckily I have not lost my initial investment so its all good. I was running a higher risk on live anyways purely to double and withdraw and then proper forward testing. Bad idea! lol.. As for the settings. I have attached the GT1000REBOOT set file i have used. The
GT1000REBOOT - Original is running the set file as is (attached)
GT1000REBOOT - Medium Risk is running the same set file with a slightly increased lot size
GT1000REBOOT - High Risk Mod is running the same set file with an even more higher lot size

Using v1.7 of the EA.
Have a look and see if any parameters have changed to what you are using in terms of lot size and/or target mechanisms. I am not aware of any changes which you have made and your account remaining fine and my blasted to smithereens is interesting. Would the spread be a factor? I am on Roboforex Pro-Cent and its swap free meaning added commissions too..

Honestly speaking, the hedging was working fantastic as I was near getting margin called if not. Had i left it alone it would have anyway crashed
I kinda knew that the movement of USD was not attributed to anything specific and should be the institutionals just showing whose the boss and is bound to retract back upwards. My sell garnered more than enough profit for me to have saved the account and also move into good profit too but i slept Thus leaving the sell trade open even after there was a good buy pattern on the charts when it hit bottom *sigh*.

Your comment on having more faith on REBOOT is interesting as my LIMITEURUSD2 was standing tall whilst REBOOT got busted. haha..

Upgrading to 1.9 and forward testing the latest set file you have shared. Keep them coming bro!!

Here's the set file if anyone is interested. 2 things to change:
1. Start and End Time as per my explanation above
2. Lot Size and TP $ ($5 / 0.1 lot)

Hi radityo,
Trying to test the v2.0, but the grid didn't start. Not sure what's the root cause.

Talking about risk and drawdown, let us see the multiplier for lot size. For GTLIMITEURUSD2 is 0.00007, while GTL_EU_LOWRISK_A is 0.00002.
If we define the profit taget as account percentage, we also need to reduce it.

In my case, if the previous lot size was around 0.20 and now is around 0.06, I have to reduce the profit target from 1.5% to 0.5%, do you agree?

Yes, but you don't have to do that.
You can just set the Target Type to Fixed, and set the Initial Target Profit to 0.2. As simple as that.
Dynamic meant to be there to give people flexibility of moving up the lot size and target accordingly as the balance growing without changing the parameters everytime.

Thanks you!

I have seen that you set mid point as:

AskTH = AddPoints(Ask, MiddlePointRange); BidTH = AddPoints(Bid, 0 - MiddlePointRange);
DrawLine(lnMidUpperRange, AskTH, clrBlue, 1, STYLE_DOT); DrawLine(lnMidLowerRange, BidTH, clrBlue, 1, STYLE_DOT);



But get the price by line lnUPPERTH, lnLOWERTH when you check the order close condition:

bool IsTimeToClose()
{
bool IsTime = false;

if (ActiveOrders)
{
RefreshRates();
double AskTH = 0;
double BidTH = 0;
AskTH = GetLinePrice(lnUPPERTH);
BidTH = GetLinePrice(lnLOWERTH);

Would you please explain ?

Thanks!

Basically,
it will read the current Bid and Ask during creation of new cycle, then expand it wider (by MiddlePointRange) and put it in AskTH and BidTH. After that, draw the lnLOWERTH and lnUPPERTH in the chart, and place the pending orders.
Those AskTH and BidTH don't live outside the function. So, I have to read the line when checking out the close condition.

Now that I know the lifecycle of variables in ExpertAdvisor, this kind of code has been removed in v2.0. It'll be more "object oriented" rather than live up with variables and reading up lines' prices.

Here, may i have the honor to present you my latest toy " The loss recovery EA "

File Type: ex4 RdzGridTraps & Triggers TMARecovery.ex4   128 KB | 318 downloads

That's how i achieved 3.9% profit with a 800 pips. floating loss

This is a scraping EA with doubled lotsize and halved gripstep, which means it's 4 times stronger than normal EA.

It automatically start to buy at TMALowline(M15) and get out at TMAHighline, sell visversa.

Too many successful cases, i only show you the case we may fail.

Dec 10th, supposing we stuck in sell orders , we start BUY EA and failed while sell orders got out, then we set buy EA to 0 profit. you will see the BE point is at 23.6 fibo lvl.

23.6 is a death lvl retracement, which means it will be reached with 99% Probability.

Luck will be run out some day in the future, what we need is a solution.

Now! Fibo with Round Number to avoid " 61.8 " tragedy.

Round Number traders will put orders on 00 25 50 75 -lvls

Fibo traders will put orders on 23.6-161.8 fibo lvls

The trick is start EA at round number lvl which is next to Fibo lvl.

We use the consolidation created by Round Number traders as a buffer.
