{quote} To lower orders and then its quantities do the following (EURUSD): Multiplier: it is the order multiplier, set it to a lower number. (note that less than 1.6 will not increase order quantity after the EA round it) Grid_Factor: grid size factor, set it to a bigger number. or Grid_increments: set it to 30 or more. Note that profit factor will be reduced.

Thank you.. Ill try now

EG01 Updates:
Please re-download on post one or here:
http://www.forexfactory.com/attachme...9&d=1455251030

What is new?

  1. order send now checks and wait for trade response from the broker, before submitting new order. it eliminate possible order duplicates when broker latency is high.
  2. Expert logs is now printing entry price, executed price and slippage. this logs helps to evaluate broker execution.
  3. some small fixes on profit target calculation when using cent-forex and four digits broker.

thanks for your support,
bauta

Hello Bauta,
I would like to test, in scalp mode, the indicator attached instead of MA50. The idea, would be to create two channels, one at Asian session and another in London, and the EA enter into standby mode when the market price rises and comes to sell line or when low and touches the buy line. From this moment the market price touches the buy line or sell any further order will be open in this direction, and if the price continues and goes on to other line then the EA open order in the other direction.

Hi Bauta

Is there any way to neutralize a grid to avoid situation of sudden market direction changes ?
I think this would be very interesting to add

Something to close quite immediatly the grid when there is a market variation (flat to trending and going back to FLat)
manually or automatically.

you can draw an horizontal line on the area you want to neutralize and name it neutralize.
this is a manual process.
I did try doing it automatically but the grid functionality failed. If you don't average down the breakeven point, you lose. You may try the parameter Max_Money_loss. (I DON'T RECOMEND USING IT)

I am running it on a 10k demo now. It has made 16 percent profit so far from 11 feb 2016. But for a 10 k account the maximum lots it has taken is 3 + which is bit risky. I have set the multiplier to 1.7. The draw down is 7 percent which is good. Let me observe it for some more time.

Hey Bauta, did you disable the expert on your 5k account yesterday? I'm currently working through a bit of a $200 DD. GBP/USD fell 180pips and its currently martingaling to get back up(this is all on a demo account of course!).

I want to test this on a small live cents account. Because testing in demo doesn't make sense. I would like to test it on a live small cents account. How to get the version that works for live account? Please advice.

@MasterBauta

I suggest doing backtests with M1 setting, because with M15 setting you miss all the potential actions which could happen within a 15-minute candle.

Of course it takes MUCH-MUCH longer time to run an M1 backtest, but it is worth the time invested.

Are u sure on this? The tickdata is the source of every backtest afaik. In consequence the quality is based on the quality of the tickdata only and independent of the chosen timeframe.

Yes, I am pretty sure about it after running many visual backtests with TickStory (using the same time-frame independent EA on M1, M5, M15). You can also see the significant processing speed difference during backtests when using M1, M5, M15, H1, etc.

"Tick data" is a FALSE term, as even with M1 testing one gets only 4 price data with each 1M candle: OHLC. TickStory just does not go "deeper" than that.

In other words, REAL "tick data" quality backtesting is simply not possible by using TickStory data. The best one can get is the M1 level, but whatever happens within an M1 candle remains unknown, or at best MT4 uses intelligent "guessing".

(I might be wrong, but I am ready to admit it if someone could prove it otherwise.)

Well, I feel sorry

I admit days ago, the market phase was appropriate for this strategy ,
but when the market is changing of types, the expected results are not there due to the discontinuity
