The author of fishing ea has a grid ea. It's very simple and makes a lot of sense.
The ea opens a grid of buy limits and sell limits.
the buy limits are all below the current price and sell limits are all above the current prices
Their sell stops and buys stops are placed at mathematically calculated distances.
If I go with this one I'll have to use Tradersway... I'll need to hedge.

jiva, hi!
EA is really simple, and very easy to manage(except high number of trades).
Another problem of Ea is, it is not taking trades in some of the pairs.
I could able to trade AUDJPY as well, though it took long time to initiate the trades.
May be this grid EA can avoid this kind of delay.
In my case, I would like jump in as soon as Trend is set.
May be Monday will try this Grid EA, in place Fishing EA.
Cost averaging EA posted by Fernando, may use to manage the trades.
Tanks!

Wow 2 years starting $10,000
increasing base lots .01 for every $10,000
Will run it again using tick data I am downloading from tickstory....
Takes forever for it to download. But it goes right into mt4..
99% accurate tick data...
I'll need Tradersway and hedging and vps for this one.
Sure hope that bad review of Tradersway was a fluke.
Need to research them a bit more.
And oh ... I almost forgot... $5000... gulp
Kicking myself for buying that dumb robot.
DON'T ever "buy" a robot...
Useless piece of junk.

All those lines aren't open positions. They're grid lines.

Maybe I spoke a little too soon about the Lite wave ea I bought.
This is a test on EURJPY... 3 years. starting $1000 at .01 using metatrader data at best 90%
(It's taking 4 hours to download the tick data for 99% so I'm still waiting.)
No hedging needed, 20:1 leverage.
Lite wave does use a martingale but it has a stop loss function so the account won't blow. The losses can seem significant at the time but overall they disappear in the total gain.
$100,000 in three years starting with $1000?
starting with $5000 ?
Anyone wants to play around with it there's a free testing version that will only run in the tester.
It won't run on a demo real time.
Here's the set I was using in zip

Oh oh can't trade the EURJPY. The margin requirements are too high for an account a 1:20 and $1000
Back to the EURUSD..

Okay.I'm testing tons of experts and none of them seem to be able hold their profits.
How about setting up several experts on different pairs with a "close all when profit is reached" expert?
The idea is they won't all be wrong at the same time. Right?
They're all running on different algorithms and measuring market activity differently.

Hi jiva34
I made the same experience. Finally find no EA that worked. :-(
Or they start selling it or they have an expiration date etc...
I'm still like to find a solid trend EA.
Perhaps someone has an idea.
Thanks for all your input. Thank you!

Keep looking. If you find something please share it. I know there is a way to do this. It's always the change in market conditions from range bound to trending. an ea that is great range bound is big time loser trending and vice versa.

For very accurate 1 min data check this out. It's good enough for what I want to do.

Tick data eats up memory big time and I think they charge for it here. There is a way to load tick data for free I've done it before but trust me it's a royal pain the butt...

Testing so many of these experts.
Have to be careful not all of them are coded very nicely.
They can cause crashing and other problems.
Sometimes they create unnecessary files that are hard to locate and can eat up 100's of gigabites.
