Hi Keydcuk,

Thank you for sharing your strategy and EA.
I am trying to test your EA on 5 digit broker like FXpro on GJ but i don't know what number should i input for 200 Pips for round number. I tried 2 and 0.2 but it doesn't take position , it only takes pos when i input 0.02. Could you pls. advise?
Thanks in advance.

Today is the day to test the EA. Monday was not a suitable day. The market opened with so wider gaps.
Forex; the game of movements not the game of candles.

It is definitely 2.0 for the GBPJPY pair. Please note that it will not open trade until it hits the round number. It does not take trade immediately.

Hello Anazri

Assuming another move again you for 150 pips more, maybe you will be around -15%, not bad for straight move of 330 pips. In my opinion those settings in that pair are doing good so far

$1000 is quite low for such system which does not limit amount of open trades. I would suggest minimum of $3,000 and recommended amount of probably $10,000 (also depends on leverage) because there will be periods of very large drawdown assuming no manual intervention.

No wonders here. You are using a 5 pips grid! With this pair I only use 150 pip grid and safer is using a 200 pip grid.

Not that I've tried this pair but I think these will probably be the right settings for the GBPUSD.

Hi Yonnie, I am pleased you found my post interesting. I have previously traded grids live for about two years non-stop. The trouble was I did it manually and got tired of it. (It became a bit like dairy cow farming - great money but you had to be there everyday to milk the cows) . And 35% return sounds pretty well right. Maybe 25% in a bad year and ~50% in a good year. All this talk of making 100% or 200% a year is BS. If you are able to grid that much profit - you will kill off your account - and that's 100% guaranteed for sure. Treat grid trading...
hello Tim,

thank you for your reply to my questions, appreciate it.
I have my own gridding system, but yours works better in tight ranging conditions.
did a test on AUD/NZD and NZD/USD and have a few questions........
for the 1 month period 19/3 - 18/4 2015 NZD/USD the best results were for a 70 pip grid.
is that about the grid size you would use?

macro range relative to the daily volatility: don't understand why this has any bearing on the choice of the pair to trade the grid.
we don't know what the trading range in the coming year would be.
if anything I would think that the best pair would be the smallest grid size compared to the daily ATR.

if a sell trend reverses and creates the first buy order, you exit the 2 dangling sell trades with the profitable sell trade 2 steps above.
if there is none, exit 1 dangling sell trade with the profitable sell trade 1 step above?
would you recommend closing the other dangling sell trade at a loss?
is there a disadvantage of closing all toxic trades at a loss if no profitable trades are available?

in a strong trend, you leave the profitable trades open with large paper profits to close out future toxic trades.
now you get a strong trend the other way with hardly any toxic trades - wouldn`t your paper profits go up in smoke?

is there a reason why not to cash in all the profits when a trend reverses and just accept the losses of the danglers when no profitable trades are present?

do you have any more tips you are able to share?

thanks Tim.

I think setting a daily equity target is the best option. Today 1,000pips, I think that is not bad for a day.

Hahaha! Well done! It will be in the next revision. Just got a bit more testing to do and I will upload a new version with a few tweaks.

Another option that I think should be in your next update is a start time. To make the EA not to continue opening trades after the equity profit has caused all open trades to close.

These 1000 pips profit can not be right ... must be the profit difference with the floating, you may close 1000 pips and the floating be negative (- 1200)

Already ahead of you. I have programmed a triple input for trading hours so that your can tell the EA to trade three times during the day.

I thought it would be useful if you wanted to trade in between sessions.

Happy Pipping!

This addition will be based on PURE EQUITY. It would be senseless to make it any other way.
