Is there a set file for the version 2.0? If yes please provide me the set file. Also please provide me the right set file of version 1.8. I searched this forum and found many set files. but not sure which one is for which version. Please attach the right set file...

Hi Cultfx,
there is no standard set file being used. As a start you may used Radityo's original limit set file, you may find it using paper clip function on top.

Hi BROs!

Happy opening weekend everyone. Just trying to follow up from my post previously about the new "Holy Grail" thing posted HERE.

If you notice, I still got 1 issue with it. If you notice, at slide 20 there was a 1 sell pending order. This is the issue I've been talking about, far in December when I announced this.

And my good friend chucrut was sending me a PM and discussing over in the mailbox. Here's his first suggestion:
Quote
Take your video, where you explain how it would work.
At slide 20. The EA close the up side and bank the profit but a Sell is still floating, the EA switch the middle up, and i would suggest that all the new sell re-placed down the middle point (slide 20) could be bigger size, using a Multiplier.
I mean the logic is perfect and in this way all the new Sell will have a better price! Always higher if price goes higher...
OK, so for this thing, I need to do the code again. Possibly tonight. So, the way I will handle is by closing all the remaining pending orders (of course leaving the opened ones untouched). Then place the whole grid again.

His second response,
Quote
I don't think they should be same lot size, because (back to your video, for example at slide 20) the buy side doesn't have anything to recover. So it will start from the lower lot size. And if the Target are separated just increase the fresh Sells, not all. I mean. At slide 20 when buys are closed at profit I would increase only the new Sells that the EA put to fill the gap, the already existing (the lower ones) would stay at "old size" because price now is higher so the "old" sells are at not-convenient price, but the new ones, near the higher...


So far, my view there are 2 things to resolve this:
Replace with higher lot size (if you plan to implement Dynamic Lot Size).

and,
I got another solution which may not be the best, but we may try it out. I'm just thinking out of curiosity, (in the slide 20) how is the chance of winning ratio between profitable sides and floating order sides? If the chance of winning in profitable sides are more better, then I might leave that 1 opened sell out of the Grid scope.

Before I explain, you must understand this terms:
Side Target Profit - This is the profit calculation only on 1 side, either Upper or Lower. This term determines whether the Upper side or Lower side need to close. Of course, logically, the normal Target Profit will never reach if you set Side Target Profit smaller than Target Profit.

OK, now...
From slide 20, if the price keeps moving up, until Side Target Profit for Upper is reached, that 1 opened sell will still be there. While I have to close ALL pending orders, and close the opened orders that is in profitable side, the EA will create a new cycle in the new defined middle point. Basically this is a TOTALLY new cycle at the new middle point, leaving 1 opened sell.
Now, from this point if the price is moving down, until Side Target Profit for Lower is reached, we can have 2 options. Since the Lower side has 1 opened order, then we can close the Lower side with:
1st option - Close when all Lower side orders are break-even (that means at $0 profit for all of them including that 1 opened order). OR,
2nd option - Close when all Lower side orders are in Side Target Profit (excluding that 1 opened order). But when closing all orders, this 1 opened order will also be closed.

What do you guys think?
I'm currently open at any idea.
If you ask me to code/fix your EA... it's probably not for free...

{quote} Possible to add it back it in v2.0, would like to try it stop + martingale.. Or v1.9 come with stop + martingale?
Wait, this v2.0 I think will be huge major differences. So, it may take time for me.

As a matter of fact, v2.0 is a total recode in terms of the local variables.

If you are "nerdy" enough to read below...
Initially, every OnInit I reset some of variables. This was confusing me, as actually OnInit was called everytime you change timeframe or just changing parameter then clicked OK. All in all, I had to add code to detect previous orders.
Now I don't need to do that, since the variables are always live and the value never reset back to zero (0) as long as the EA is attached. Sorry, I'm dotnet developer, not an experienced MQL developer (yet), so this concept was quite blur to me as there's no valid documentations on mql.com.

Always refer to the First post in this thread.
Note that v2.0 is still in BETA. No set file for it as development still going on. The variables' name behind may change.

Hi radit,


the slide is stop order and,
on the slide 20 which left 1 losing order, how if just close it with the profit side target , so close all with minimum loss. Or close it when x oppoaite level hit. Coz when it move away say 2 oppozite level i know the trend changing. So close it. And when trend comes that 1 order will increase in loss pips.
Look for it and you will find it

Hi Rad,
This is my opinion.
So the issue now is the slide 20, left over 1 opened sell order. For the new cycle, I thought will be open with high lot (e.g. either fixed or dynamic), if the new cycle is continue to be bull trend, then new cycle will closed with the same left over 1 opened sell order, then new cycle open with previous lot size. If the new cycle happen to be bear trend, to be consecutive, suggest to close all the sell orders including the "old" 1 opened sell order closed at Break even.. Then the whole EA will have a fresh new cycle with initial lot size.

Hi Radityo, I saw on Monday your GTLIMITEURUSD2 had the first 2 cycles closed with 0.6% gain, and it's ok.

Then a 3rd cycle closed with 1.8% gain, am I wrong? Could you exlpain this?

Thank you!

Chucrut has got it right with higher lot sizes. Martingaling can be used to get us out of a situation like this.

This is something simple tossing around in my head but i do not know how it can be implemented nor whether this makes sense

In Slide 14, two buy orders are hit and then price slowly moves down
The moment it hits the sell order, immediately clear all pending orders and treat that as the middle point. The EA should be able to figure out that there is opposite order in place for this to happen.
Replenish with new buy/sell orders using a martingale approach based on a multiplier maybe?
Prime importance is NOT to close at side profit but at breakeven (0.00$) based on both buy/sell trades.
This is to be quick on eradicating trades against the trend.

Can probably improve upon this too but note.. this is making it more complicated hehe..

Please refer back to the logic again. "Target Based OR Min Profit Orders" Which means, ocassionally it can close first due to "Min Profit Orders" logic OR probably "Target Based", which one comes first.
The first 2 cycles were closed in "Min Profit Orders", which usually in a lower profit.
While the last one were closed in "Target Based", which usually in a higher profit.

Latest set file, you can use paperclip feature. What does that mean? You have to go to the user's profile which you want to look for the attachment posted by this user, which that means my profile. Then click on paperclip.

For a quick info, GTL_EU_LOWRISK_A and _B are the set file made for low risk trading. It is essentially derived from GTLIMIT_REBOOT which has particularly lower lot size, with wider Start-Stop datetime.

GTLIMITEURUSD2.set (for v1.7) is same as GTL_EU2.set (for v1.8 and v1.9).

Hi all of my friends, It's OFFICIAL, I've finally decided to release v1.8 to all of you. I know it has been too long from v1.7 to v1.8. But I do hope that I can release a good version of it. I have done testing, so far no issues based on my understanding. But before you upgrade, please give full attention on the changes I've made. Button color changes when "Stop Next Cycle" is clicked. Fixes on dasboard / display - the top left display. Fixes on Middle Point issue. It was closed only when All Orders in Profit without considering its position in...
GTL_EU2.set.txt is not profitable in the backtest. Even if i select GMT in settings it is trading as per the broker's time only. Irrespective of which ever option i select in the first row, it trades only as per the broker time.
GTL_EU2_XM.set.txt starts to place 150 lots for a 10k account. That is really too much. Where to adjust that settings. Then i changed from dynamic to fixed. However i want to place 1 lot being dynamic. Where to change that? Even this setting is not profitable in the back test.
GTS_EU1.set is also in loss in the back test...
Please advise the right set...
At what time frame should i use this ea? I tried in M30 but it ended up in loss.
