{quote} Factor:0 Gridsize: 0 breakeven level: 200 so this is default settings.
NO
Default settings are the one that comes with the EA.
Just drop the EA to a chart and change NOTHING. That is default settings
I do recommend s_GridFactor=4 for more conservative, 5 is normal, greater than 5 is aggressive.
Note that scalping is a very aggressive approach and bigger capital is needed.

Hi once again Bauta. Is it possible to have a sound alert code that will sound when our cycle was reach to big lots.

Hi Bauta,
I notice you never answer to request regarding setting maximum lot; I also requested informations about this in previous posts (I've purchased months ago). Can you kindly help us?

Thanks.

I did, please note Max Lot was implemented before and we discontinue it.
if you want me to implement max lot size, please provide me with details of what you want the EA to do after the max lot is reached.
Note this is a GRID trading system. Setting stop will make the EA to fail.
My recommendation: Do not trade this GRID live/real if you don't have the needed capital. (no less than 2 times contract size per lot using default parameter settings)
Thanks for your help and support,
bauta

Basket of 8 USD pairs (AUDUSD,EURUSD,GBPUSD,USDCHF,USDCAD,USDJPY,NZDUSD,XAUUSD) is proving best for GridSizeFactor1 config, USD pairs have lower spreads and less chance of a runaway pair that goes in one direction too far, causing large drawdown.
Hello burman

Which time frame do U use this default settings? I try it on M5. It will be good?

I am evaluating to add a new parameter to filter the maximum lot. It will be maximunOrders instead of maximunLots.
setting the parameter by order help to accommodate the EA for different settings and different capitals.
This is how it will work:
First check if its value is greater than zero (default)
second, find the side with more orders/accumulation
finally, pause trading when the maximunOrders is reached, then the label on the chart will blink to alert the pause mode.
let me know what do you think?

Thanks for new version dear Bauta. It will good for all .

The homework is this :

After paused ( my recommend is 7 trades) trade on any chart , I will remove ver36 and will attach ExpandingGrid on closure mode with same maqic . You know ExpandingGrid is running as Channel trade style.

I have 4 cycles closed with ExpandingGrid to now on this week.

Hello people, everyone's EA based on retracements (the one I use included) are suffering from this trending period in eur/usd. How are your's different EG versions handling it? Is there any version that comes out of DD.?

Thanks guys.

Dear Bauta. You was share us very good an expert. And you have add MaximumOrder feature. Very good.

Now , I think we need to only two things :

1- Can you add a sound alert on EG when reach chart to maximum orders or send an e-mail to our mails ? Because , I'm turning Symmetry to MChannel method manually for closure Cycle on trend direction .

2- Or can you make EG automatically turning from symmetry to mchannel when reach cycle to maximumorders ?

Please share your advices to us . Regards..

This year EurUsd has been ranging most of the time but please recall or keep in mind that in the past couple of years there have been times when EU moved close to 1000 pips in a few days so just be prepared.
