I would like to give tips

1) we put the CHECK CURRENT PROFIT unrealized always the approximate value of the pair of ADR within these settings I left with 05 grid.

2) for those who want security in their operations, look at the economic calendar and pick a pair that will not have the currency news on the day, it's a safety filter
Example: Avoid USDCAD when in NY will have news CAD

Carneiro, just curious as to where your buy positions are, I see only sell.. the EA opens both the positions have you forced it to Sell only? Cheers
The EA opens BUY/SELL position for every grid step, takes profit when you set it in a trend. This is why you can be exposed to a number or opposite trades on their own or with 1 BUY/SELL position left on either end of the grid. The it will keep doing this till retracement phase takes place, it will double up on what it is retracing until it sees your TP level by summing up all the cash value and converting it into "x"pips. Once the pip profit is achieved, it will close the sum of all retracement positions together at "x" pips.

Happy Pipping!

Hi keyduck ! Hope your sleep was nice ! I run a lot of different versions of Remon's ea and i had add yours this morning on my personal server. I wasn't in front of my screen for a long time but i took 3 photos with my iphone before going to work. So here are my comments: 1. It seems that the ea is doing a great job on GBPJPY. I set the parameters in hardcore mode (Gridsize = 0.02 so 2 pips...) with 0.01 lot. I banked + 30 and DD is around -80 (Demo account of course). I made this choice to watch how this baby goes when the things turns wrong......
Hi JB,

I can't really answer your double up question as I would have to get better screenshots or see this thing running live because of the tight grid you have used. However, your case of not trading I think has to do with your round numbers. For the EURUSD and GBPUSD 0.02 and 0.04 is 200 pips and 400 pips away from the next step respectively.

See table I made to post 37

0.02 and 0.04 for USD pairs and other seguinifica this one 200 pips and 400 pips grid ,,, will only open new positions when you arrive at this point ... you whether you want to place grid 02 pips and 04 pips USD pair to have to be:

GRADE 02 pips = 0.0002
grade 04 pips = 0.0004

I hope it helps

I think the issue has always been the same. I have said it in Remon's thread before. In grid trading you need wide grid steps to survive. Of all the Remon EAs I have tested from 2013 to present, I have discovered that with the best found settings and hitting a wall of bad Price Action on uncommon occasions it still causes DD of about £2500 or a bit more, I forget the actual results.

So far with my EA, after bad years of end 2013 and into 2014... DD was about £700. I think I would comfortably trade this EA 0.01 per £1000 but I am not suggesting this as I present disclaimer that I hold no responsibility for these suggested settings! LOL

@Carneiro and Daniel

Thanks for your help ! Now i understand
I set the ea on DAX30 with a crazy grid (0.2 pips lol) just to watch the battle between the sell/buy until it crash...or not^^

I do this to think about a solution for a happy ending when a trend without retracement occurs.

Maybe a good idea is to input a timer in the ea. I think it's safe for us to use it only during the night in europe on EURUSD (for example)... Low volatility, without a trend direction is a good way to protect our capital. We can also increase the lot size if we want more profit.
Just an idea... i think it worth to do it, just for test. I'm not a coder but this function shouldn't be too hard to create

I would totally agree with your comment about news!

If you pay attention to the calendar and actually stop running the EA on high impact news times, even if it means a loss, you will save yourself from possibly getting heavily DDed and also with less positions open should there be a PA spike on news. It can take days to close the retracement positions and if the EA was closed before the spike and opened again like an hour after news, you would probably be able to take in more traded pips in profit than having to wait for a retracement move close.

This is an easy scenario to do if your grid is wide enough and you are taking profit at the median of the grid.

Your suggestion though, do you want it the EA to disable once it has closed all positions? I have thought about this and it might be easy enough to do.

Hi Remon,

Thank you for taking interest. I attach what I have found so far to be my best settings with the GBPJPY. I know it is a volatile pair but other than the GBPAUD, the GBPJPY seems to retrace a lot more so this EA is more dependant on retracement.

Many Many Thanks & Best Regards,

Daniel

I was thinking about the trend problem with your ea daniel...
I don't know if you are following the development of remon's part 2 (not exactly the same) but steve hopwood have made this ea... It is not finished yet but this give you an idea of how we can play with the trend and a grid.
I'm running the ea (an older version) since the beginning of the last week and the results are good. But it should be managing manually because it doesn't close the trades. I put it on 4 pairs and my max DD was -150. I close when my equity balance is +30/40 depending of the trend on the pairs who have the most orders.

The only problem is when the pairs are ranging with a wide size between a high/low. If you have 40 sell, this could be difficult for the buy side to reach a global positive equity when the pair is trending up.

For instance, i don't want to pollute your thread with many ea, here it is.
If M. Hopwood want me to remove the ea from here, i will. If Daniel want too, i will.

to close all trades , you could enter first :

extern bool STOP=false;

then

if(STOP==true)
{
CloseOrders(magic);
}

and

int CloseOrders(int magic)
{
int total=OrdersTotal();
for (int cnt=total-1;cnt>=0;cnt--)
{
OrderSelect(cnt,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);
if(OrderMagicNumber()==magic)
{
int type=OrderType();
bool result=false;
switch(type)
{
case OP_BUY : result=OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(),MODE_BID),5,Lime);
break;
case OP_SELL : result=OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(),MODE_ASK),5,Red);
break;

}
if(result==false)
{
Alert("Order ",OrderTicket()," failed to close. Error:",GetLastError());

}
}
}
return(0);
}

sorry I cannot do better coz no mq4

Don't worry about discussion of other people's work and/or attaching their EAs or information. This is not a competition or an ego contest. I am following all developments of Mr Remon as well as EA coders such as Steve Hopwood, however I was was slightly offended when YET AGAIN he has deleted my post. I wanted to get as much input as possible but Steve even PMed me to say that I can't post ex4s on his site because I wasn't on his A list. I'm not convinced he would have kept the post even if I did post the mq4.

Fighting the trend is the hardest thing to think about with this strategy. It is hard to get indicators involved as then you aren't really gridding and you may as well say that you are trading a semi manual method as it enters conditions to trade.

This is more of a case of man with computer against PA forex wave. Can we program something that will beat all PA conditions with software? It will never be perfect but in my eyes it is all about "How close can we get a program to trade 0.01 without loss or near no loss with as little DD as possible?" So far, I think it is around the £1500 region. This is not good enough. This is why improvements need to be made and humbling yourself to knowing you can't do it alone is the best way forward.

As for your discussion of equity (or DD), I think the key is to have as few positions open as possible and to have them closed as quick as possible. This is why I think that closing the opposing retracement side is crucial so that trends can keep taking profits. Trends happen more than retracement so if we focus on profitable trends and DEFCOM1 solutions to get rid of retracement poistions by closing them quickly, I think we will be closer to something that can beat most of all market conditions.
