Small improvement on the alternative grid! I added "tails" on the bollinger bar(the yellow bar). Now it's called bollinger candlestick. This is very useful tool for scalping, and helps to get accurate high probability entry points. Previously it was showing only the distance between SMA(21) and the Bid price. Now it also shows the distance to the upper and lower bands (2 standard deviations below and above SMA(21). ) So you get good idea of the projected volatility based on the price action for the last 21 minutes. It also gives you signal when the price is outside the bands.
Thanks alphaomega for this EA.
I am trying to figure it out, for now i use it for for opening and closing positions. However, i cant open positions on my ECN account with Forextime - the standard account works fine. The error i keep getting is

2016.05.12 16:17:54.294 '---': order sell 0.05 EURUSD opening at market sl: 1.14116 tp: 1.13466 failed [Invalid S/L or T/P]

Ive tried to change the SL or TP, but same thing - however when i set them to 0 i am able to open positions.
any ideas how i could make this work. Thanks again.
PS: For learning to trade grids, I am curiously reading through the thread, for now its all rocket science..

{quote} Thanks for sharing the new bollinger candlestick, love the tails and the alert! BTW, has the snapshot function of the alternative grid been disabled? It doesn't seem to work and there are no longer any inputs in the properties of the EA. Have tried to use Superjolt's snapper, but it plays havoc with the .NET memory.
Try this one:

The code seem fine, and I've never encountered this error so far, and there are no reports from other traders.....This must be some problem with the broker, or your settings. Maybe they have some restriction on the server, regarding how you can submit stops and targets. Make sure you check this. Try with some large values like 200 pips SL/TP to see if you get the same error.
{quote} Hmm, this is strange.
Thanks again.

Here it is guys! You just put the content of the folders in the same folders in your MT4 and you are ready. {file}
I have already seen recently a version of fibo made into EA but is limited to only trading on EURUSD with expiration and no source code at this link http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/php...php?f=5&t=4727 - #680

Several people have asked me for the original template, so here is the original classic blue and white look of the grids with boxes and price levels. In addition you have the bollinger candle as a better replacement for the hourly candle, and of couse you have the daily info and high/low prices as standard. Part of this mod was made by "Sciurus" + a few changes made by me.
