{quote} re-download again just in case. You are able to demo it if one of the following conditions are true. account is demo, or demo word is on the account title, or is testing the EA, try again and let me know, bauta bool lbIsDemo() { bool isDemo = true; if (!IsDemo()) isDemo = false; if (IsTesting()) return true; if (!isDemo) { string titleName = AccountInfoString(ACCOUNT_SERVER); StringToUpper(titleName); if (StringFind(titleName, "DEMO")>=0) isDemo = true; } return isDemo; }
Now i get the message by tf 1m"current spread 1 used" and higher tf "unmached data error (volume exceeded)"

ALERT:
R-R-Red News releases in 10 hours (7:30AM US Central Time)
also, Friday.
Note that the EA goes to Closure Mode Fridays after 14hour of GMT time.

I will set all my sets to closure mode three hours before the release, 4:30AM Local Time (CT)

How to set closure mode in version 024? (EG104)
OK, in my case I do want to trade overnight, my time now is 9:33PM, and I do want closure mode after 4:30AM.
This is what I need to do, (for each style been activated)
set StartTime=21:00
set EndTime=4:30
Set TimeToUse=Local_time or the time you prefer. (my time is US CT, you must adjust your time)
That is. The EA will go to Closure Mode after 4:30AM

Hi Bauta,
I have just started testing the ScalpGrid system and I like the way it works. I do have one suggestion, perhaps you have already thought of it but I would like to know your thoughts.

At the moment I have moved all Symbols into Closure mode, But I have an open basket on EURUSD, and it currently has open Long Lots at 0.14 (Starting lot size was 0.02)
It has been running for several hours now and obviously wont close until it profits (0.2 being the target)

Now this is fine, Low Margin and probably will profit but I cant help but wonder about the several hours it hasn't profited. So why cant the system Scalp in the opposite direction as well?

Using the Scenario above, While the Buy Lots are losing, we could be opening Sell Lots and closing them while the price moves down. Then when the price moves back up the original Starting Basket will close, but we will now have a basket in the opposite direction. Yes the Margin requirements will be higher, but hopefully that will be offset by the increase in profit factor.

When I get home I will try and draw this up and post an image of what I mean, but hopefully I explained it well enough for you to get the drift.

Hi Bauta, I have just started testing the ScalpGrid system and I like the way it works. I do have one suggestion, perhaps you have already thought of it but I would like to ....
As I did mentioned in post one, there are unlimited combinations and styles there, just the trader imagination. This EG104 flexibility does that.
to accomplish your idea do the following:
Open one EURUSD chart, activate ScalperGrid by setting magic number to a value, let's say 301 (you have this chart open already)
Now, open a second EURUSD chart and activate ScalperGrid style using a different magic number, let's say 401
You may change the startQty a bit to offset even more.
That's it.
The EA before placing a new order calculates the direction of the trade using the total net opened quantity of all sets for the same symbol, in this case EURUSD.
If your initial chart is long, the second chart will open shorts, and vice verse.

Just an update on the live account forward test of EG EA scalper stlye with fix TP on 3 pairs.

My TradeExplorer is connected the same live account as MyFxBook, however the % results are different on TradeExplorer as it cannot calculate results accurately since I have been making regular withdrawals from this live account (keeping balance at approx. 2k Euros). In other words, MyFxBook results are the REAL results.

(P.S. I was on a trip for one day and could not monitor trades, so EA was stopped for 24 hours: 2nd half of Jan 6 and 1st half of Jan 7.)

I have been using the version which was released in the second half of December. It is definitely not the latest version.

Regarding settings: I use 0.01 starting lot, 0.5 Euros fix TP and 12-18 pips grids (depending on currency pair). EA is stopped before red news.

As a "commerical member" you cannot send or receive PMs on FF, that is the reason.

Please contact Master Bauta if all previous versions were still available.

V21 made 78 this week on demo but reached level 8, 1.28 Lots yesterday outside of red news.
V22 made 134 this week on demo but reached level 9, 2.56 Lots yesterday outside of red news. So there were 5.14 Lots open including the 0.03 hedge.

bauta could you please add a parameter "Max levels" so that we can leave as default or choose to stop adding positions once it reaches a certain amount of positions in one direction, (not including the hedge).

I have set them all on closure mode now.
