[quote = FXCyborg; 9069684] En primer lugar, me dio au el conjunto, si no ur capaz de perforar esos nmeros en la configuracin de entrada, entonces no hay nada que pueda hacer para ayudarte. y el GBP / JPY no es una extensin de 30 pips. y los resultados estn muy bien, ya he hecho la prueba, de hecho durante los ltimos 4 meses. acabas de llegar. aprender a prueba antes de hacer suposiciones. [/ quote] Friend found a solution for configuration and very very profitable is to operate from 16 GTM to 5 GTM
Thats not the optimal time though

{quote} Tested those settings in past and they worked well with a larger grid step (100). How was the drawdown with a small 20 pip grid? In backtest I always found such small steps will eventually kill the account once a drawn out trend happens.
Works fine for me, small steps dont kill the count, its about money management... work with in it, set the correct lot sizes - rest is easy! like, sitting back collecting the checks... or in this case, over 4000 pips a week

August to date results. Not as impressive as Gold but Im trading small and trying to control DD. I am not trading Piggy like you guys. Because I am in the U.S and my oppressive overlords say I can not buy and sell at the same time. So bi-directional grid trading is out unless I want to visit a shady off shore, which at this time I would rather not. So if I do decide to go live with a small live account it will be with Oanda or FXCM. I can however, go 2 hours down the road and blow my life savings at the Foxwoods roulette wheel if I want. Thank God...

I am using a smaller grid size now. You are right about the MM. Had to go a bit more conservative to make the smaller grid work. 20-50 depending on pair. Small account (5k) and 50:1 leverage. Trade Multiple pairs(3-5)/small lot size, trade in one direction only. Using a U.S broker so no hedging. Thought this would be a difficult work around but I actually prefer the one direction grid over Bi-directional. Usually trade in direction of major trend but sometimes will trade bounces off support areas. Have a large TP target but usually end up managing the trades manual few times a day. If I hit my daily Equity target I close down the whole grid and restart fresh. Not a fan of set and forget EA's. Will post final results for month tomorrow. Currently at 8% growth/no open trades ATM. Max DD 6%. Not spectacular I know, but its steady and safe so far.

This is my test on 20 roundnumber pipsize.
The first -500 pips day is because i manually closed like 100 trades because i put 0.5 pip roundnumbersize >.>
It looks ok but I have 20 short positions opened atm and not sure how its gonna work out....DD is kinda big as well.

Any tips?

Hi KeyDcuk,

one question - I am running Piggy now for a month also one 10 multi pair (higher volatility pairs) but with large grid sizes of 100 (and TP=100). All in all good results and DD is reasonable. However I would like to apply a general trade manager who does the Piggy way of closing baskets of profitable and non-profitable trades for my perspective in a good way. Can you briefly explain the logic Piggy is doing to identify the right open trades to close? I tried to analyze the mql4-code but as you mentioned due to machine-generation of the source code, it is rather complex...

Thanks,

See post #952. I think he comes here only to post results now. Keep in mind those settings are for AUD/USD. Stay away from G/J with a Bi-directional grid. It wont work well with its high daily range and 300-500 pip trends with no retraces. Stick with pairs that range only few hundred pips over the last couple months.

Goldcourse has done well since A/U has been in a 600 pip range since he started with no long trends. G/J in that same time period has a range of over 3000 pips, with some long non stop trends. If Gold traded his settings on G/J he would have killed his account long ago.

Hello Keyduck, I know that this EA is kind of a finished business to you, but a lot of us are still using it, and with some success.

In order to lower the DD, I really need your help to change the opening step positions, so it wont repeat opening positions in the same step.

I believe you have mentioned before that one of the first versions would do this, but I was never able to make it work because of the round number settings.

Could you please make a version of the v4-2 EA, so it just open one position at each step?

Hello everyone,

I put the Piggy in live-4.2 version in AUDUSD 5m. In demo it works well. But in livel when I was many orders, I closed lost me.

I used this setting:
