DislikedHello 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?Ignored
DislikedHi 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...Ignored

DislikedHello Daniel, tanks for your answer, it's a pity if nobody can work this out, it would be much helpful. I understand your answer, but sometimes, the retracement it's not enough, and with the little steps up or down, it keep adding to losing positions. I know this happens because I'm running a tight grid, but my strategy been working till now, and could be better with this little tweak. Oh well, thanks anyway and good luck.Ignored

Disliked{quote} Have you tried possibly adding heavier positions to the trend move like 0.02 lots in the trend and only 0.01 lot in the hedge of the grid step? When I tested this in backtest, it was mixed results in large grids. The profit factor was going up much better with only a little of added DD. I did not test it in tight grid. DanielIgnored
Disliked{quote} Hello Daniel, I'm using your EA in a little different way, cause I don't have a TP defined in the EA. I use your weighted different lot option that you mention in your post, but I let the trend run, and close all the positions in profit after 100 or 200 pips. Then I leave the retracement do it's own thing. If the orders wont repeat in previous steps, the DD would be smaller. I hope i have make myself understandable.Ignored
Disliked{quote} Hello, Sorry for the bit of late reply. I am not going much of FF anymore as I have turned my attention to Binary Options at the moment. As for your question, the trades close at the TP level. If it is trending and TP is 10 pips, it will close each trending position of 10 pips. Then, for each position that is opposing the trend and is left open, the EA will wait for a retracement to happen as far and as many positions open where net profit in money gets converted to this example of 10 pips.

Disliked{quote} Hi Daniel, How do you input this settings ? Is it like this In uptrend ----> Buy Lot grid step UP 0.02, Sell Lot grid step UP 0.01 In downtremd ----> Buy Lot grid step DOWN 0.01, Sell Lot grid step DOWN 0.02 So in UPtrend it will take a higher buy size and hedged position will be smaller and vice versa ? Am I right ? Thanks ShaneIgnored

Disliked{quote} Thanks for the quick reply ... I tried it in another way like UPtrend buy 0.02 but sell 0.00 and vice versa but it still took hedge positions inspite of it being 0.00 Any idea why ? Thanks ShaneIgnored
Disliked{quote} It won't take a position at 0 lots. It will always take the minimum it can get if you set it to 0 lots. Somewhere in the thread there is a version that does what you describe as it only buys up an sells down. DanielIgnored
