Keydcuk,

I tried to run the ea on a US broker (forex.com), hoping that the hedging rule wouldn't stop it, but alas, it did. So I downloaded a demo from Tallinex (non-US broker that allows US residents). The ea won't run in the strategy tester. Do you think it could be because of the suffix in the pairs (EURUSDecn), for example?

Thanks for any help you can offer. I would really like to run this exciting ea and just looking for a way to do it.

I don't think it's the suffix. I'm getting "unmatched data error (volume limit exceeded." So I shortened the test period to two weeks, but it still wouldn't run.

At the moment, this version is just experimental. It is for those who wish to make the EA only buy up and sell down without opening the buy/sell.

If 1 is set to TRUE and 2 is set to FALSE, then it should trade like the original EA is post 1. If you want to activate in active trading the BUY up SELL down only then set 1 to FALSE and 2 to TRUE. My original post had mentioned that there is a 3rd setting to put both 1 & 2 to TRUE is you wanted to double your up and sell position accordingly but I have noticed in backtest that this does not function properly. You would be better to increase lot sizes rather than mess around with putting both input 1 & 2 to true.

It has been a difficult weekend because I struggle to get the EA to change modes on its own. I have tried to experiment to where one wants to drop the BUY/SELL position and go buy only and sell only in cases of where there are too many positions open. So far it has been unsuccessful but I have had a few distractions over the weekend so maybe with a fresh head tomorrow I will see clearer.

Happy Pipping for Next Week!

The first EA has always been fine as far as I am aware.

I actually have a Tallinex account as well as a Global Prime and I have had no problems backtesting in the Tallinex demo account. I suspect that you need to look at your round numbers and get the correct settings for the pair you are using. It does work with EURUSDecn.

Round numbers have already been explained but see below for EURUSD.

0.001 = 10 pip steps
0.005 = 50 pip steos
0.01 = 100 pip steps
0.02 = 200 pip steps

The default settings are for the GBPJPY which is different. Please read the thread and understand how the round numbers function work.

Many Thanks & Best Regards,

Daniel

Version v4 is the STABLE version. Everything else is experimental.

You do not need to play with the experimental versions if you don't want to, it just helps in the continual development of strategizing to find ways of fighting issues of high trends without retracement and lowering DD.

Hey keydcuk, you close all the positions in friday or leave all the weekend?

I think it is not advisable to leave it all the weekend. My account demo account blown because I left it all weekend and the gap on the chart today wipe the account. Now I start testing with a new account.

Haha! Grid based strategies have always done pretty bad over weekends. I'd advise you to close all your trades on friday afternoon or use a time filter.
I did the same mistake with my current EA's and went crazy as I saw this morning's DD.. But went through
You'll always miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Hi Daniel

Thanks for your thread, I have not read remon's thread but I have read yours. I was wondering how people here are dealing with open trades as their balance and increases, but the equity decreases.

Thanks
Ezzy

Personally because of the large gird size I use and the way it recovers losing trades, I leave it 24/5 but some people are finding value to close all trades. It would be worth looking at your trade method & grid size before making this decision. Carneiro seems to trade it slightly different. It is worth looking at how he does it. As for me, I have a specific method to focus on first, then I might look at what Carneiro is doing with the EA.

Cheers!

I am very satisfied at the moment the way the EA recovers positions. There are only few times where there is heavy DD and that is in trend with little retracement. My preferable pair at the moment is the GBPJPY as even though there is a lot of volatility I believe it retraces more that most pairs.

I will be releasing an update with a balance/equity close all option but it is difficult to program at the moment due to the nature of the EA.

I hope to have something this week to play with.

Thanks,

Daniel

Hey Daniel,

thanks a lot for your work. I've read both threads and I am really interested in making it a profitable strategy.The old settings gave me a loss. (The ones with 0.05 round number distance on GBPJPY) So I have changed it up. Let's see how this week goes.

My current settings for the GBPJPY is 2.0 with a TP of 100. Round numbers of 1.0 will bring larger DD. I have not tried the 1.5 yet but am looking at something in the way the EA takes count of the TP pips. I might have come up with a solution to get a bit more money banked. I should know my results by the end of today as I am running a 3 year backtest at tick at the moment.

Cheers!
