Autop Dynamic Grid EA - Enhanced version of Auto-Profit 3.0

Hi everyone.

I've been following all the Threads around grid martingales lately (Remon Accumulative Grid, Bauta's Expanding Grid, Keydcuk Piggy..) and tried to draw the best of each.
I've been working on some Grid enhancement these months, SWB Grid, Viper grid, and the good old Ilan/Auto-Profit/GridMeUp strategies.

Here is a dynamic TP/Pipstep version of Auto-Profit 3.0 that I had translated from russian and recoded from scratch.
I use an hybrid formula based on HiLo / ATR / raw pips (in % of the price) to determine my targets.

This EA will always be free and I do not intend to sell anything.
__________________________________________________

Disclaimer :

Autop is an EA meant to trade ranging pairs mean reversion by scaling-in as the price moves against its TP, meaning exponentially exposing the account to the underlying asset.
Autop's money management being exponent-based, it makes the EA able to recover fast from its drawdowns but can stress your account equity considerably.
Trading any scale-in strategy is dangerous and one often risks his entire account for doing so.
I am not responsible for what you guys will do with this EA and advise you to ask for settings check-up before running it live !

New release : version 5.3

Now available:

- Trend filter (ADX / ADXMA based)
- Days of the Week filter
- Spread filter
- Time filter (hh:mm starts / hh:mm ends)
- ability to move the InfoBox (hud) from top right to top left
- Survival mode
- ADX Trend Hedge : hedge your current position when the filter switches On. This position will close as your current cycle closes.
- hedge over time filter (i.e. you can just hedge your trades as the time filter is on without having to close them in loss.)
- sharp entries option : the trades are confirmed by the ADX
- one-sided trend filter : allow the expert to take trades toward the momentum in trend
- Disable Short Cycles (disabling short cycles will still allow the EA to open short hedges on long cycles)
- Disable Long Cycles (disabling Long cycles will still allow the EA to open long hedges on short cycles)

Trading Idea: Opportunity mode

By running 2 instances of the EA on 2 charts of the same pair, one with Long Cycles disabled, the other with Short Cycles disabled, and using the one-sided trend filter on both, we will make sure that the EA makes money of big moves whatever the direction even if the other gets stuck into a cycle.
Edit: Make sure to change the Magic Numbers of the EA on the 2 charts so that they don't interfere with each-other

Thank you for helping on this development bros,
Edo

Hi Edorenta,
great work!

This is the BT (one month: 2016.6.1 - 2016.7.1). It's possibile to have the source code for implementation?

I still need to work on it.. I don't plan on selling anything but I'd like to see how keen you guys are before I share my code
What implementation would you consider?

You're right, I respect your work and it is right that you finish the project according to your goals.
I saw you expected, between inputs, even a Stop safeguard Equity. I also would expect a Target of the day and possibly a Trailing on Equity, for portfolio too (later, advanced). I have implemented something like that as an external EA, but perhaps I should put it inside a native EA.
The martingale / grid are very dangerous and must be handled very carefully controlled, putting constraints et similia.

I know 25% BT is not a good result for referencing but I may use it with my VPS and here is my set file.


May I know what is the different between 4.0v and 4.2v? Thanks~

Short TF such as M1 / M5 should be favored. Pairs that retrace such as EURUSD / USDCAD / EURCHF theoretically would give better results.

thanks bro
when you say: "Pairs that retrace " - do you mean ranging pairs?

Congratulations on the good combination thinking Edo!

I wish I could spare you some time, you would eventually waste in the wrong direction. Here is what I have come up to, after 30 months of strategies development, live trading, live accounts blown ups and almost unlimited number of demo accounts being also blown away. I hope it will be helpful to your efforts.

1. There is no bad strategy. Almost any strategy works. Except the pure martingale based ones, those who double, triple or quadruple, whatever. Multipliers are OK.

2. Humans are constantly changing their trading plans, usually after a loss. This is from where a bad name is given to multiple otherwise good strategies.

3. Whatever strategy one is using, never change it. Stick to it. When the bad times are over, good will come back again.

4. If 3 is strictly followed, it is likely, when there is a proper general profit/loss management, one to stay profitable.

5. All grid systems are beaten by the market. At least twice per year. By beaten, I mean total account annihilation.

6. Knowing 5, one should trade, one and only, with a fixed amount of money. 10k for example.

7. All accumulated profits should be immediately withdrawn or moved to another account, where the ongoing trading cannot not hurt them.

8. Never, under any circumstances, grew the base 10k account into a bigger one. If you do it, you are doomed. It is impossible to make money, if you grow the trading account.

9. Losing the base 10k account few times a year is OK. As with any other business, it is just an expense one has to face while trading.

10. Trust your system and never betray it. Once you betray it, look for a new job, cause you will lose your capital anyway.

11. Trading grids is a sign of greed. Being all over the place has never being a good idea. However, nice money still can be made, although the rates moves in chaos-like design, made only to kill all grids, while it looks like it is favoring them.

12. Range is the best grid killer. Try to detect it. The sooner, the better.

13. Find a range-based strategy. You will need it, even when you trade the trend-based grids.

14. Try to avoid multipliers or adding an additional baskets/virtual ea to a level. If you do that, you will still make nice profits at trend times and will register small losses in range times.

I am sorry if I sound too parental or even mystic. Please, do not get me wrong. I just want to be in help of the community here and all traders that are struggling. Very soon I will post my live TE. Where I will trade only for pure fun...

This will blow up account either without the equity StopLoss, Grid is not a safe strategy for any period especially news. So I would like to trade it in Asian period to reduce the potential risk.
