Good. Thanks.
Yes, you are in standard lot account (contract size = 10,000). I will follow it with a 10K account. Let's see how it develops.

Information: for traders with less capital, please use cent account (micro or mini lot). Contract size of 1K or 10K
Thanks, bauta

Hi

Yep you wrote this "Some settings are better during low volatility and ranging markets, but other setups are doing great, when market is more liquid, trending and during the bigger Financial News announcements."

I think this is the key !

may be to use FGDI or an indy able to deterine which is the current nature of the market and select immediatly the most accurate settings

This implies to know first which style is the most appropriate for any market conditions

Symmetry in example is appropriate when the market is purely trending, not when the market is ranging

I agree with you.

It is also important, which settings we choose (pips range, number of levels, starting lot quantity, order multiplier) for any setup according to type of our trading account and money management of available funds for chosen setup.
Good trading luck to all of us

difference between EG103 and EG104 in symmetry
EG103 close the trades and start from initial point
but EG104 does not close but continue the grid

so i think EG103 is good for less capital accounts
so i will be happy if you maintain same feature in EG104

I will need more details about your comment. Note that EG104 symmetry is the same than EG103 symmetry when you set TakeProfitAtLevel=false and DynamicGrid=false
Everything else calculates the same.

The changes made to EG104 are for allowing smaller accounts, I do not understand how you get best results with EG103 with small capital. Please explain with more details then I will revise it and change it if needed.
thanks,

EG103 symmtry does
1 open hedge position
2 take profit
3 open a double of loss trade and and open a new same of initial trade
4 when it comes to set profit level it closes all trade and start a new initial position


EG104
1 open hedge position
2 take profit double it
3 open a new double position


the condition showing in pic never happen with eg103 i mean to say it never open two position of either buy or sell

EG104 never goes to starting position easily as EG103 does
EG104 excludes spread and EG103 include spread

I will revise it. EG104 in all my setups works how it should works. Multiply only the losing side, closing the wining and reopening it by the StartLotQty.

Check my explores for more details.

Are you on EG104.028c?
thanks,
bauta

search on my posts for USDCAD, note how I repeatedly mention that I do not like it.
do not trade it anymore, unless you have enough money to do it.
don't panic, it should pullback, the breakeven is just there.

Second line on the comments, next to symmetry word. It should read 028a or better. Last is 28c

Hi Mr. Bauta,

Is more than a month that I'm testing this EA, and it is truly fabulous.

Unfortunately (in my opinion) it has a big problem...

I noticed, when there are moments of high volatility in the currency, the EA fails...loosing all the capital.

As an example in the charts below

Currency Eur/Usd, EA performs very well (the default setting) until March 10 where Ea unfortunately is unable to maintain the position.

And this happens with any capital (with minimum settings)(Figure 1-2-3-4-5).

I tried to test it trying to identify the macro news soon as possible.. without any tangible results... of course.

I thought if it was possible to integrate in the EA a option like "stop after many profitable operations" so, when the EA reaches that gain, it does not open more
operations until the next day.

for example:

if my goal is to reach $ 50 in a day. I imposed the parameter ( "stop after many profitable operations" ) to $ 50, so when the EA reaches that ammount it is not open
more operations. So i am not to expose to the market. (Then tell me what you think)

In summary, I repeat, this EA is very fabulous, but it has the problem that you can lose all the capital in a very short time. Probably i do wrong something...

So, Can you correct me?

An another problem I encountered is the difference market exposure between the EA and the Mt4 ( Figure 6 )

Let me know

Sorry for my bad english.

Gianma
