{quote} It's an example of negative interest rate that has been a subject more for euro zone for 1-2 years. BoJ says "whatever you do, we'll do more to keep yen cheap.". So toyota and honda will always cost cheaper than any german cars But there were also us news, monthly durable goods orders including transportation was down %5, that might make people think for a worse gdp on friday, but gdp was close to the expectations and it came back to its relatively normal place. I wrote about GDP last month by the way, I think it's underrated in this...
I kinda remember your post. It was not on the FF calendar but you picked it off some other site you said yeah?
Do assist in us figuring out what we ought to be on the look out for bro!

Hi Radityo Ardi, first of all thank you for your EA's, and second, why dont you make the lots bigger from the 11th level, 3 times bigger or start Martingale from the 11th level ? Just to recuperate the trade in a smaller move.

Greetings Radityo, I've been using your EA in live account , So far its good , but blown my account one time due to a News..so trying again.. But iam using V1.9 and seeing a issue that when EA open single position and its reached middle point its not actually closing the position before middle point , due to that most of the positions closed with lesser profits (ex 0.04, 0.03 for 0.1 lot) . please can you advise is this is a bug in the code or can we adjust in the settings. please kindly advise and waiting for your reply. Thanks. Sathish
Please read carefully the documentation and this post: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...89#post8589589.
v1.7 and v1.8, there were differences in one of the Close Type, especially on Middle Point. I'd strongly recommend you to review your settings, by opening the EA parameters.
Go to Close Type, what is the current selected options over there?
Go to Min Open Profit Orders, what is the value?
Go to Middle Point Activation (Order Count), what is the value?

Initially, in v1.7, Middle Point was not the real middle point. It was closed when all orders are in profit, doesn't matter where it reaches middle point. Now, starting from v1.8, Middle Point is middle point with certain range that is specified in Middle Point Range (Points). While the previous bug in Middle Point converted into another Close Type, called Target Based OR Min Profit Open Orders. Both of them, has activation condition. Means, if there's no sufficient open order, the logic will not execute. For Close Type of Target Based OR Middle Point, the logic will be activated once you have your number of executed orders equal to Middle Point Activation (Order Count). For Close Type of Target Based OR Min Profit Open Orders, the logic will be activated once you have your number of executed orders equal to Min Open Profit Orders.

Now, if you set this number into 2, that means whenever only 1 order is executed, but you are in middle point, it will not close. Because the condition is not sufficient enough to close. It requires 2 orders to be executed then when it reach middle point, EA will close the cycle.

It's a part of enhancement already, and waiting for release. It was discussed a few times ago.

{quote} ok... hehehe.... BOX is the donation box growth so far. SMartGrid is a new EA I've built, based on LIMIT strategy. Actually this one is combination between semi-martingale and grid. Good return but deadly as well, I'm still observing. That's why I haven't released it to public yet. This morning one of my SMartGrid strucked by a sudden unexplained movement. No news, no corelated pair's news, nothing, just like that. Probably the settings were too aggressive. {image} I'll share it later on this thread, since the topic is still the same, it's...
Yah bro i noticed smartgrid using semi-martingale in lotsize, 0.01 0.02 0.03 etc.
but i see it's interesting since it can start with as low as 250$ or cents.

box is same as LimitEurUsd2 bro?

I've set to a lower configuration since I don't want to mess up the BOX if anything happen.
It was with Initial Lots Multiplier of 0.0000175 and Target Profit at 0.0075. Shorter Grid Step at 35, and Current Price Interval at 35.
The rest, I believe still the same as in LIMITEURUSD2.

Then the SMartGrid blew due to BoJ released their new negative interest rate. EUR/USD got sudden movement of around 50 pips (500 points) in less than 15 minutes. Yes, it was just testing of $250, before the balance wiped out, it was booked a profit more than 80% in 3 days. $250 is the result of backtest during Jan 2014 to Feb 2014, initially it was at $10,000.
I will release it later, once I put the exit mechanism. As of now once it is on, then it will be on for a long period of time. To stop the EA, we need to remove the EA, close the order manually.

these are my results of january with RdzGridTraps 1.7, with limit orders, grid, of 5, 6, and some a little days with 10, with interval of 40 except to high volatility where i used intervals of 100, 200 and 400, 2092,43 euros with lots of 0,01, profit facto 3,58, tf=1min. I look at tf =d1 to know if there's range o trend, range is what interest to me, but if theres trend the interval should be bigger. The grid of 5 demand a big account, if this one is small the grid has to be bigger than 5. the best is not operate in important news, and moved hours , and draghi talk to. DEMO ACCOUNT(5 decimals)

Hi Radityo,
I am still using v1.7 and today after long time encountered again no open order and pass end time (more than 2 minutes), the EA doesn't delete all pending orders. Is this matter fix in v1.8? Would you kind to have documentation what fix in different version, so easy for reference. green pips to all.

{quote} Thought so, but how that supposedly to affect EURUSD? It doesn't even corelate..

The News itself was not related at all but the money did correlate.

If there is a huge UP in USD pairs, there will be a big drop on all none-usd pairs.

The problem is we dont know which pair will be affected...

Hey folks!!

We have FOMC member George speaking tonight.
Contemplating whether it would be a good idea to have the EA run on EU tonight. There has been certain rare occasions where the comments of other FOMC members had moved price.

What do you guys reckon?

Is anyone running tests on EG by any chance?

Actually I have this idea since early January. It was inspired by one of my friend out there which uses this EA actively.
You can setup 3 different charts for EUR/USD, put RdzGridTraps EA with 3 different settings, and 3 different magic number.
LOWRISK, MEDRISK, HIRISK.
HighRisk can be applied on the days when there's no major news. But this is also quite dangerous. Last year (December) we got a trend when there's no major news. So, be careful.
Med Risk, is on the days when there are few medium risk news, or only 1 high risk news (except Interest Rate and NFP). This setting we can use for common daily use.
LowRisk, is on the days we felt that it may have a major movement.

I haven't practice this kind of thing.

This old mechanism is removed in v1.8+, since I detect the first tick received after passing End Time regardless of when the tick is received.

So, imagine that the EA passes End Time at 06:00am, but then during 05:59am - 09:00am your VPS having issue in internet connection.
With the old mechanism, when the internet connection restored, your pending orders will not be deleted. Because 06:00:00am - 06:00:30am is passed and the logic will not reach it.
With the new mechanism, when the internet connection restored at 09:00am and the first tick is received, EA will close your pending orders.

Sounds good!
However, rather than running all of them in the same account, i feel it would be better to have separate accounts for each. That way the DD can be contained specifically for each set type rather than the DD accumulating for all (which i feel is even more of a risk).

What I am thinking is of the following :-

  1. Forward test on demo LOWRISK, MEDRISK and HIGHRISK sets for atleast 2/3 months.
  2. Open three live accounts for each set and fund them with the same amount in each.
  3. Assign individual sets to individual accounts and set the STOP LOSS as the Maximum DD encountered within those 2/3 months for that set plus 5/10%
  4. When an account reach 100% for the first time, withdraw the initial investment and let the EA continue.
  5. Thereafter withdraw 50% of the profits each month
  6. If and when the stop loss is hit, pause that set and observe what went wrong and ascertain whether it was a 'one time' movement which messed it up. A trade break for a day or two.

Plus, for best EA performance and closure, I highly recommend ECN based accounts with the lowest of spreads.
The spreads have an effect on the closure as price has to move more in favour to be in profit. Good example was today where I observed that my demo had finished off the cycles whereas the Live Pro-Cent account was still running for two hours or so. Forex4You offers NDD Cent accounts with super spreads.

I am also looking into trying to implement some shabby trailing stop mechanism on the 1.9 EA. Lets see No promises here lol..

Would recommend you deactivate the EA considering the massive move in EURUSD.
I have disabled the EA from my live account.

Above is merely a recommendation

After installed v1.8, i try play around with the end time. This is what I observed.
Let say the current time is 9am (sg time), when i set the start time and end time time as 01:00 to 10:00 (sg time), the EA works fine.
After a second, i changed the start time and end time as 01:00 to 08:00 (sg time), the EA didn't close the pending orders although no open order.

In v1.7, I try above scenario, it will close it after i adjust the end time earlier than current time.

Do share with me if my observation is incorrect. thanks.
