Hello Bauta,

Congratulations for your system and thanks for your hard work.

I've got one question, and didn't find the answer, even reading the thread, I've tried your scalping settings on EG104, is it possible to change one or more parameters so it can widen the grid, so it won't open positions with bigger lots? I know this will reduce profit, but maybe it can reduce lots size and also the drawdawn.

Thanks again and keep up the good work.

scalping with EG104 is a powerful feature but it requires a big amount of capital. I do recommend you not to trade live on scalping if you don't have enough money to cover the big drawdowns.
to wide the grid use DynamicGrid=true and DynamicGridPercent=30 or more.
I always do recommend default parameters values. Lately I am using s_GridFactor=6

{quote} It looks if we start 0.01 lot, then 10 level, 10.24 lot required to recover back. I found some pro-cent account(like ECN), for instance Roboforex, start from 0.1 lot but maximum lot is 100 lot. Some fixed spread account has large spread which is not good for giad system. It is difficult for me also to find a cent account like this. Hope someone can help.
Max lot of 100 looks good. It means 1000 times bigger than initial starting lot (0.1), is it make any problem? Dear Bauta please reply.

it is hard to find the expansion on a multi setup. I do recommend you set two charts, one with symmetry and the other with channel then you will see the expansion.

GRID trading system does not uses any kind of stop loss. It is base on accumulating and averaging down positions.
you may reduce levels by reducing GridFactor and increasing DynamicPercent. If you do so, then profit factor will decrease too.

As guideline use this minimums when using symmetry defaults values, s_GridFactor=6:

cent account, 1K contract size.

StartLotQty=0.1

s_GridFactor=6

Reserved Capital: $500

Capital per chart $300

cent account, 10K contract size.

StartLotQty=0.01

s_GridFactor=6

Reserved Capital: $500

Capital per chart $300

standard account, 100K contract size.

StartLotQty=0.01

s_GridFactor=6

Reserved Capital: $5,000

Capital per chart $3,000

Hello Bauta, and all other informed members. My newbie question is if you have a five digit broker is it best to stick with five digit pairs only? Thanks in advance.

this chart shows a normal symmetry with expansion executions. Note that expansion when in symmetry occurs only on the side of the biggest quantity, in this case, the short side.
also, expansion does not starts at the beginning of the cycle, it starts when the cycle becomes risky. Dynamic is a via of controlling drawdowns, it is not how EG104 profits. As more dynamic, less profit factor.
the criteria for when to enter in dynamic may be adapted as market conditions changes and its criteria is not fully disclose in this forum. I do recommend you to use Dynamic and to set its percent for a least 10. It will slow down execution and as disadvantage it will take longer for the cycle to close. All here is time and patience.
good luck trading!

Brexit?
it may be or it may not be, market may becomes volatile or not. We do not know.
the fact is that many brokers are emailing us about changing margin requirements, about the possible liquidity, etc. brokers are been creating king of panic on us. they claiming that changes are to protect us but, of course, I do not think so.
The situation here is not the brexit, the situation is what is been created and what they want us to do and to believe. The big and smart money will profit from this, we don't.

I do extremely recommend to set your terminal in closure mode, right now, for the rest of the week.

how to set the terminal in closure mode?
hit F3 key
add a variable named closure and set its value to 1
next Monday, to resume trading, just delete de variable.

good luck you all!

If EG104 displays FLAT you must check this:

  1. First, be sure your terminal is connected and you are receiving data.
  2. If you are trading live, revise the expert log file and check that EA account verified to trade ***LIVE*** is printed there.
  3. Click Auto Trading bottom on the terminal and be sure it is green.

  4. Drop EG104 to a chart, Click Common and be sure that Allow live trading is checked.

  5. If FLAT is still showing the check the Experts and Journal Logs for clues.

  6. Finally, send the expert log files to [email protected]

Yes, it is little different. In version 30 closure and when in symmetry, the EA closes one side on the cycle and keeps accumulating on the other side. In version 31 symmetry, when in closure mode, the EA closes the wining side and wait a bit, then if the losing side is too dip on levels, the EA will reopen the wining side to offset a bit the losing side.
it may take longer to closure but it profit better and offset better, also, it reverse the cycle better (accumulate both sides making the wining side qty bigger than the losing side).
note that version 31, when in closure mode, it closes the wining side when it is at 3 times or better of the original target.
I may disclose a bit, in a different post, how the symmetry works. I may not fully disclose it because there are users trying to find out a via to write an EA using my methods. I am not publishing them yet.
good luck trading!

I still have an unanswered question: once this is done and every EA is in closure mode, can there be set a time upon which program will force a close for those EA's that haven't been able to successfully close while in closure mode? So for example: say after 48 hours, 5 of the 6 EA's successfully closed but 1 is left open. Can there be a setting that forces a close for the left open EA after 48 hours (or whatever value, or a specific date/time)
Thank you.

your question has been answered before. Grid system does not uses any king of stop loss. Doing so, the EA will fail.

you may close positions manually at any time.
There are free EAs on MQL5 for closing orders. Please google it.
