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

hey,

nice job on the EA. I have been testing various similar EA and so far, yours is on the top of my list.

There is one problem tho, the time filter does not seem to work. In the strategy tester, if I use start 00:00 stop 02:00 (or anything really), the EA opens positions all day long.

Can you take a look?

Also, as a programmer, is there any change we will get the source code eventually?

One thing I coded in another EA was an 'Emergency Trade' option, which would open a single position with a high multiplier in the opposite direction in case a grid goes bad (a threshold in points would define 'when' its time to open the emergency trade), to try and recover from the loosing positions. It can't fix every case of account blow up, but the way I see it, since it's about to blow anyway, if I can save 1 blow up out of 3, it becomes acceptable on the long run.

Anyhow, keep up the good work.

what is your demo broker? Is it ECN or STP broker? Because I did't see the charge per transaction. I am curious that can this EA use in STP? because I think the ECN broker did worse in this month, the slippage too high (>4pips), average spread even nearly 1.1...Still the above question, I don't know can this EA using in a STP broker.

I think the main point we need to do here is test and suggest based on the origin EA. Your idea can pass to the Edo( the EA creator) and I think Edo has the great ability to implement the code if it can help.
But after two and a half days of trading by this EA, I still don't have any suggestion.... It is still running great.

Hi Sagera
Broker was regular Alpari Demo MT4 and of course commissions and/or rollover aren't there...
Just switch few hours ago to my live broker still on DEMO TESTING ( with com/rollover included)
Let see if commissions will affect results that much...l am curious too Have changed currencies too...
But rollover should not be an issue as trades don't stand all night long.
Hope this helps

thanks for your info and sorry for my bad english. I think it is my broker problem because I was using some scalp EA and maybe the broker flagged me...so the slippage was too high for me. The commission is not a problem but I would like to see some different result from STP to determine which broker I should change/remain.

Hi Edo

With your permission have few questions
As l said previously to Sagera :Just switch few hours ago to my live broker still on DEMO TESTING ( with com/rollover included) from Alpari

What is the take profit by default...Wasn't sure...Is this 21 at line: ATR HILO Period for dynamic TP ?
Anyway Alpari showed 30 sometime 37...Do not know where that come from...

lf l want to increase TP as it appear only 14 with my broker FXCM for NZDCAD...and it is not enough...

Also for an unknow reason TP doesn't show up on my second chart...AUDCAD tried several time...takes trades but no TP

Do you think this issue is broker related?? Have Version is 4 build 988...Had no problem in the past...Do you have any idea or clue?
Thanks for your help

Thanks Fibo38 i added it like you showed it above but i am still getting the error but only if i change the settings like i describe below.

I just realized i only get the error file not found ffcal.exe when i change the input on the ea where it says "Use ffcal for the 2 chart currencies" i changed it to TRUE instead of False. Am i supposed to keep it to false? If i leave it to FALSE it is fine i do not get the error anymore. But i do no get any trades at all i have it set up for an hour so far but still no trades. Just wandering is that normal?

[Quote = smahil; 9030952] Gracias Fibo38 he añadido como lo mostró anteriormente, pero todavía estoy recibiendo el error, pero sólo si puedo cambiar la configuración como yo describo a continuación. Me acabo de dar cuenta sólo consigo el archivo de errores ffcal.exe que no se encuentra cuando cambio la entrada en el ea donde dice "Use ffcal para las 2 monedas de gráfico" i cambiado en TRUE en vez de Falso. ¿Se supone que la mantenga a falso? Si lo dejo a FALSO que está bien no me sale el error más. Pero yo no conseguir cualquier operación en todo lo que tengo configurado por una hora hasta ahora, pero todavía no hay oficios. Si pasea es eso normal? [/ Quote]

Hi Ben, as said in Post #1, the TP is based on current HiLo and ATR values. The exact formula I use is:
Current HiLo * HiLo weight + ATR * ATR weight + raw pips. If you want the EA to trade wider on NZDCAD (in your example) you have 2 solutions: highering the timeframe so that the dynamic TP is basically higher, or add some raw pips (i.e. 5)
Let me advise you to cut with the exotic crosses such as NZDCAD. The extended spread you'll trade with will eventually wipe all your profits out

Try opening your MQL4 editor and compiling the FFCal to make sure you obtain the .ex4.
Double check if you put it to the right folder as well. This should not happen.

Hi Sagera, if your broker flagged you, just get a proper/other one.

Do you mean that it keeps the positions open or just keeps trading? I've just ran a test with your settings (00:00 to 02:00) and it works fine by me, have a look:

{quote} I'll look into it. Did you try backtesting with an ECN already? {quote}
I backtested with Pepperstone broker.
This EA firstly opens an order and then modify TP, SL. It takes time.

But some broker may not allow to execute the order and modify it at the same time
So It is necessary to have an input option for the EA to open trade and modify TP-SL at the same time or not

Example for two types in the below pic

Hi Edo,

I guess there's some problem with news filter. Ea just opened new trade with the forex tsd filter onn ( There's red news in half hour ).

{quote} Welcome Barlam, these two are similar news filters. One is based on the Firex Factory calendar through the updated FFCal custom indicator imports, The other is based on Forex TSD custom import (developed on their forum and implemented in the EA) i have not tried them both yet hence I am not sure it works flawlessly yet.[/quote]

@edo: Thx for Your reply and explanation. That is in fact kind of what i thought of, but I've not been shure...

Now some more Feedback from my tests...
Once more... I love this EA, especially the TP calculation seems to be awesome !

I did backtesting with Your settings from #Post 74 (only short) on EURUSD and detected a critical zone in the beginning of february 2016 (especially on lower TF with some lower balance) and crashing in 2014 (I think it was september - as i did not save the results ).

As I said, I'm also doing testing on demo account. Yesterday I realized, that the EA entered with new trades in the timebox where it should not, because of the hogh impact news from US. As I'm in Germany it was 14:30 (2:00pm) over here for the news. Please see my settings and the order history in the picture.

As there should not be any new entries (plz, get me right, I really mean the opening of new grids) in the timebox of 90min before and after that news.

Writing this I saw the EA entering again, waiting only some more minutes for news from the US (high impact). Plz see the pics.

As I added the indicator itself, You can see, that my settings might not be the problem, because it shows the right time until the news. (I thought there might be a prob because of the GMT offset). For information - I use Activtrades as my broker.

I'm sorry if I made mistakes in my configuration. In that case, I really appreciate Your help.
Cheers!

- ADX trend filter is now external
- Some bugs corrected (JPY pairs)
- Survival mode (!!!!!! Remon Style, but better )
- TSD Cal news filter has been disabled, I'll focus on a pure FFCal addon.

Cheers,
