Hello, I'm still using this EA in real account $30. Now I have $5.21 of profit, for me is a money machine EA. Thank you keydcuk {image}
Hope you do well. With that little amount, you will need to hope there are no great trends without retracement and that the markets are nice to you for a while...

Hi Carneiro,

Guilherme was kind to point out to me some errors in the configuration of what I have attached for you.

Please find the attached revision. This should closer match the idea that you have presented.

Let me know any significant feedback.

Daniel

{quote} I notice you shared the ex4 version. would you share what the output buffer numbers and a description are?
I noticed the MA_Derivative_Evolution.ex4 I have provided hangs up the processor when alarms are used. I thus provide you the rewritten version here.

As I said before, the buy/sell signal is on buffer 3 and exists when red (sell=-1) and blue (buy=+1) histograms show up. The variable Sticky_signals should be set to false to allow the buy/sell signal to reset to zero in neutral periods.

Providing you the mq4 adds some programming complexity that I don't want to go into yet in this thread.

Hello keydcuk and everybody here, I found this thread accidentally on Saturday and it took my attention to investigate more this mathematical approach to trading grid.

I made several backtests and came up with few ideas what we want to get from this EA - reasonable output, not something that we are not able to achieve.

What do we want to achieve? Steady yearly return with reasonable risk involved during all possible predictable market circumstances? that is something what I want to get. 30-50% yearly is my target, with acceptable DD around 50% under the worst market conditions that happened in the history. So I backtested year 2008 and 2009. Screenshot attached, DD with 200 pips grid, 0.01 fix lot, 100 pips TP as a target gave me with the starting balance 5000 eur DD about 3000eur. This could be considered as the worst scenario what happened. Now about gains, with this setting EA gives average 8-15% yearly. I believe the survivability of EA is good in long term but the return when we count swaps and vps is not so good.

I would suggest to implement MA period 20 on D1 and according the slope increase lots for positions in trend. I trade some kind of grid system manually and I implemented 2 indicators just to spot the extremes of market and according that the positions are opened, but that is other story.

Hi!
Do You use both TP and SL?
Maybee its a good idea to trade for 10% TP/SL?

No SL just Equity TP of 10% of balance. The percentage may be reduce as the account balance get bigger.

I don't know how you guys do it. It'll only take one day of a candle going only up or only down in one direction without return and the account will be blown at grid size of 5 pips.

That is exactly what I'm testing, how long it will take for this account to be blown. And using equity target make me to get out of the market early enough.

1. Account 1 is started 2 - 3 hours before London open.
2. Account 2 is an hour before London and early London market.

What I noticed with my previous test is that if you want to use this settings you can't avoid to stay long in the market but one thing is that no one knows when the market will move as you described. I have another account that is running default setting but not focusing on it for now.

cheers

But if there is both TP and SL?
If it smore winning days then loosing days everything is fine. With a 10% SL You can only lose 10%. Even if You loose one time/week and the other days is TP, You will win 30%/week. With 2 loosers/week its 10%/week.

I know that but for now I'm focusing on testing only TP for now. Probably I will test that later too.

If its possible to have equity SL/TP in the EA, than it would be possible to trade Asian session. With 2 loosing sessions/week....still very good. With SL there is no risk to blow the hole account.

I have struggles to program this myself. I believe Tundex was looking into this. In the meantime, there are other EAs that can run alongside this one and manage this for you. Sorry I can't be more helpful at this point.
