{quote} My eurusd buy cycle have closed with MChannel trade style . ( Transfered from symmetry to MChannel manually when I see maximum orders on it ) {image} Regards.
Please be aware that swapping from one style to other may be catastrophic. If you are changing from symmetry to channel you have to be 100% sure it will continue the move, more of the time it does not.
This scenario worked out for you, but from 10 times, 8 failed.
the only safe way to get out of trouble is with capital and trade the EA with the recommended capital. No less than twice the lot size value per each lot and a reserve of one setup.
OK, let me explain better:
if you are in symmetry and you start with 0.01 lot, contract size is 100K, you need 2K plus a reserve of 2k equal to 4K. (minimum, more is always better)
the EA buy 0.01 and price moves down, you are using default parameter values
at the order 7 you are in 0.01+0.02+0.04+0.08+0.16+0.32+0.64 = 1.27 total lots.
you decide to SWAP to channel mode, the EA will enter 1.27 * 3 = 3.81 sell order.
if price continues moving down then, WAKALA, everybody happy. Celebration begins
now, if price start moving up then oh!, what?, then , now what? What to do?, what I did?, panic, so, so
at the top of the channel the EA will try to buy 3.81 * 3 = 11.43 .... ????? not enough money, not enough money, not enough money....

think about it,
now, if you continue symmetry, the price retraced and then you are out for profit or break even.
I see the swap as making things worse.
Please be extremely carefully and test/demo it for long time before you go live/real with this type of strategy.
thanks,
bauta

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.
I do recommend default parameter values. s_GridSizeFactor=4 or less.

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..
Release 036 will have a Send Email alert to send email when quantity of orders is greater than MaximunOrders parameter.
I will release it shortly
thanks, bauta

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.
Please be sure you have at least the minimum recommended capital. Doubling it is best.
for a less agresive symmetry mode, s_GridSizeFactor=3 or 4 I use this formula
I do reserve twice the contract size and I use twice the contract size per chart
to trade one chart 0.01 lots on 100K contract size, I do 0.01 x 2 x 100,000 = 2K reserved. 0.01 x 2 x 100,000 = 2K for one chart, total needed 4K to 5K
to trade three charts at 0.01 lot, you reserve 2K and need 6K for a total of 8K to 10K required.
and so on

The EA wait for a pullback to enter on the opposite direction. Wait a bit and you will see it in action.

Release 036:
What is new?
While in symmetry mode, EG104 filter accumulation/average down orders using M1 fractals and M1 moving averages. If these signals do not trigger, the EA does not place the accumulation order.
This filter works as a pause feature, it is good for fast moves, news releases handling, etc. I do recommend using it.
A new parameter s_AccumulationFiltered=true is added to allow you to disable the filter if you set its value to false. I do recommend to keep it on true.
New parameter MaximunOrders=0 added. When this parameter has a value greater than zero, the EA will pause trading if accumulation orders are gather than its value. I do not recommend activating this parameter. If you want to manual trade a losing cycle, it is better to use NeutralizeBalancePercent=50 instead.
When MaximunOrders parameter triggers, the label on the affected chart will blink and an email will be sent to the configured email on the options menu.
Default value for parameter s_GridSizeFactor has been changed to 3.
Parameter s_Allow_Hedge has been removed.
To handle better the different spreads on different brokers and different types of account, now the EA uses the mean price to trigger signals. (ask+bid)/2
Please download it from post one
Thanks,

Bauta, thank you very much for last update!

Is it possible to consider larger grid spacing for longer term trading?

Also, any more thought on %equity lot sizing?

I know these requirements are different from scalping strategy.

{quote} akkus 45, can you share what your setting
Thanks for your relevance . But I'm using two different methods on demo only . Because I don't have enough expertise on method yet. And I making trade as manually transfering from one to one when I have opinion on going market , like 6. feeling . It may be very dangerous to add experts on charts with settings that seems good and leaving all things on markets. We need to have knowledge about experts , markets , red news , specifics of markets . etc.

Please make back testes with different settings and when you have a good set , please run it on forward as demo. After three months if you have good results plase run on live as Little little ( ex. one chart may be Eurusd with 0.01 lot on balance 5000).

How does this "3. Parameter s_Allow_Hedge has been removed" effect the Trading Style?
