Free EA - Piggy n The Middle

Try Grail with another filter. Two are better than one.

I've optimized it, the best I can get is about 6% a year I think I used 200TP-200TP-300RN, which is good for an EA. I've seen others post results of around 1.4% - 30% a day/week. I was wondering what the settings were.

There is no way this EA can work on a balance less than 10K for the long haul. Thinking out loud there is no reason to use any EA if it's going to do well for some months and not some others where it blows the account. IF we can avoid these the only settings that will work for the long haul to overcome 1000-1500 moves with hardly any retraces, are those with less risk applied, like above for 6% a year.

Here's how I see it, we're never going to avoid those rough years in the future, not at settings that yield 1% or so a day.

A non-ranging market is the cause of this EA from reaching its fullest potential.

We need to control these floating losses more.

Maybe we can have it built in, or a script which can be loaded onto the chart with the EA attached, and allocate a certain percentage, or fixed amount of profits to close off the existing floating losses; I've been closing off trades once it reached the max 300 trades to free up some more trades that can be hedged. Which had me thinking...

I think there should be an "EVEN" amount of longs and shorts to be made. So equity can stay more or less even. This way if the trend continues, there wont be more of one or the other going in the opposite direction putting the account at more risk because there's no equilibrium. Once we figure out how to create it once a group of longs or shorts were closed out, is to next focus on stabilizing the equity, by either closing off some negatives from the "overall" profit created and/or, cease to add more trades at same round number levels if the trade has not been closed off before hand.


Because from what I'm seeing, is the table is becoming one side heavy, e.g: there are more longs than there are shorts live, more so due to a group of short trades were closed off previously, but at some point in time, especially in a non-ranging market with just momentum to keep going up or down with very little or no retracement the table is going to get lop-sided and tip over.

If we can avoid overlap of new trades being opened where another one was that's still open, create equilibrium in the equity after a group of trades have been closed off, to have equal number of longs and shorts of the total max trades currently given (300 regardless of what type they are).

Then we can see how we can optimize the equity, and add otherwise riskier settings.

Best regards,

trading a grid means you sometimes trade against the trend and build up drawdown.
My optimizer is still running... about 600 hours to go.

Starting with a small account really limits the options I think. If you can handle more DD, the ROI gets better. But... you can still get a margin call and should be willing to loose it all.
so far I found best settings on the cable, with a 10k starting account to have a DD of 8k.
Unsure if that means a margin call though, and since my testing is not finished yet, i cant plot it into a graph yet.

My forward testing is running into DD, but still slowly building profits. We maybe get retracements on the cable soon as it is touching the upper resistance. Then I expect some magic.... Will keep you informed.

even though a lot of people seemed to have forgotton about this thread, I just wanted to say, that folks here are very thankful of the job you're doing Egosuma! Great work. Thank you!

nice ea

does anybody know the author of the ea named:

xme scalper v2.3 ?

i need to find this scalper if anybody can help

This is my sharing for the moment with Piggy n the Middle ....

Firstly, I would like to thank keydcuk for coding this EA for all of us. Fantastic

I started to forward test v4 on April 20 to May 3 running only EURGBP and updated to v4-2 on April 22.
The settings I use are....
Lot 0.01on $1K
TP is 15 pips (Buy/Sell)
Server time 00 for start and 24 for end
Round number is 10
Made 14% for that period with DD of 48%. I pondered.... this is too high a DD.
I observed that EURGBP range/swing is too tight and Piggy kept on opening too many orders at the same round numbers .
Then on May 3 I switched to AUDUSD which has a wider range/swing using the same settings.
The profits grew to 45% as at this moment and DD so far always below 10%.

My thinking is that this EA won't work on big range/swing pairs if you're like me using tight TP & round numbers.

I will continue this test and update here.

Thank you again to keydcuk !

After 20days the account is still on. Starting balance $200 with 0.01 lot.

Glad to see people are making this work for themselves! Wishing you all the best and hoping you get plenty of retracement without long trends!

hi tundex, what's the setting you used? puzzling how it survives big trend in last few weeks.

Hey Tundex, hope your leg are better. Are you start again with new account? Are you using new settings?Regards

Hi tundex,

Result is astounding !

Cool !! Now take some of that profit and buy something nice !

Thanks. I can walk on it now but still can put my whole weight on it. I guess in another one to two weeks I should be fine.

I start a new account the last day I posted then. And I use 0.5 for round number.

I use 0.5 for round number and 0.01 lot.

Lol. That is not on live. Still demo.

well done..., I'm also forward testing GJ with 54 pips RN and 27 p. TP since mid May, so far +1035 pips closed profits and -735 floating DD atm...

Happy trading, jdva
