Quoting BoHanna
I forgot to mention I can only use ScalperGrid mode for FIFO compliance. I have USA broker but I really want this to work for me. I just need a bit more guidance. Thank you, BoHanna
FIFO?. What a trap!

I was in the same pain than you. been unable to close positions in the order I want and been unable to hedge. I did found oanda a better broker for the FIFO rule, they allow you to close positions in any order when lot quantity is different on each order. Finally, I am not trading with NFA regulated brokers.

None of US allow hedging, they are regulated by NFA (https://www.nfa.futures.org/)

What you should do?
Open an offshore corporation, in Belize per example, and then open an account in a broker outside US under your corporation name. Report income to irs.gov and you will be enjoying the full forex freedom.

Going back to your question, I have in my pending tasks the creation of a parameter inside symmetry settings to disable hedging and allow scalping and FIFO complaints. Also I am considering the removal of scalpingGrid grid mode and melt it into symmetry mode using the same parameter.
Stay tuned, I will update it soon

Thank you for your quick response. It sounds like a great idea! Eliminating hedging concept is genius paired symmetry and scalping...?! Can't wait to try it. Thank u so much. I use OANDA too. Glad u understand. Look forward to winning with your new strategy.

Es importante entender los riesgos del mercado y por supuesto las emociones que se derivan de el.
El DayTarget controla unos de los riesgos más importantes, la exposición, pero también crea emociones de impaciencia. Ten esto en cuenta.
Algunos amigos me preguntan, por qué salirse del mercado si teniendo el EG104 24 horas, 5 dias estará a todo su potencial?. Bueno, ese es el dilema, esa es la avaricia, otra emoción enemiga de los traders (mercantes creo que se dice).
Si calculamos una meta, digamos 1% o $5.00 por ejemplo, porque no salirse si ya lo logramos. Aquí es cuando la exposición puede hacernos daño, es mejor salirse del mercado con la meta y no tratar de conseguir más y perderlo todo.
La idea es tener el EG104 a todo potencial en el llamado mercado dormido, es decir, cuando no hay mucha noticia o eventos que puedan sorprendernos. Por eso es mejor empezar el día junto con el mercado que es 3 horas del tiempo meridiano (21 horas del GMT).
Con al DayTarget la exposición se controla de tres maneras,
1-Closure_Mode: si te fijas en el EA, donde dice Profit/Loss: hay dos números, el primero es la ganancia o pérdida total si se cierran todas las ordenes y quedamos flat (no ordenes abiertas). El segundo número, el que está en paréntesis, es la ganancia de las ordenes ya cerradas por el dia o días que estamos contando. Este número debe ser siempre positivo, el EG104 no cierra ordenes por perdida.
Cundo el primer número es negativo, se pinta de amarillo, cuando es positivo se dibuja azul cian.
Closure_Mode está observando el número que esta entre paréntesis, cuando este número es igual o mayor al target, todos los graficos EG104 cambian a closure mode hasta el próximo día. Este método elimina exposure, es como desacelerar un poquito.
2-Closure_Forced: este método hace lo mismo que el Closure_Mode, con la diferencia que cuando el numero entre paréntesis target, entonces el DayTarget empieza a mirar el primer número, el que esta fuera del paréntesis y cuando este número es igual o mayor que el target, Pum! Se cierran todas las ordenes y queda todo flat. Este es el método que a mí me gusta y lo tengo por defecto.
3-Forced_Mode: este modo nuca mira el numero entre paréntesis, se concentra en el total, el primer número y cuando este es mayor que el target, zaa!. Cierra todo de un cantazo.
Porque me gusta Closure_Forced? Este método controla exposure pero también se queda como más lento después del target y por lo general añade un poquito más de ganancias al día, este método tiene un equilibrio entre la exposición y la avaricia, se consigue un poco más del 1% y no se esta tan expuesto.
El que controla más la exposición es el Forced_Mode, él se mantiene bien agresivo por más tiempo pero cuando target, cierra todo de un cantazo. El Closure_mode es como ya hice el dia pero lo que queda que cierre al menos por un centavo.
Bueno, creo que entendiste este parámetro. Déjame saber si tienes alguna otra pregunta.

New Alert:
FOMC in less than 24 hours.
Hi traders,
I highly recommend setting EG104 to Closure Mode fourth hours or more before the release.

Grid trading systems does not use risk/reward ratios. it does not apply.
My opinion about the well documented 1/3 (one to three) risk reward.
If I now you will trade with a setup of 1/3 and I am the broker, I will do 3/1.
Do you know what is going to happen?

For EURAUD I am changing sGridFactor=5, Dynamic=true and Dynamic_Percent=15
Trying to get rid of one more level. This pair will takes more than a day to close, hope by this time tomorrow.
It needs a bigger retracement than normal. This is due to the expansion of the grid. If you do have enough money to hold two more levels, disable dynamic. the cycle will closes faster.
