At least I think they are small changes.. small for the coder, HUGE for the potential of the grid
I know grids are ridiculous (except the ones that only yield a few % more than a bond) but guess what, its a hobby of mine to try and find the perfect settings (for a 25%-50% a year low risk grid).
And I think I might know a way.
It just blows my mind no one has tweaked grid EAs to do this. At least not one I can find. If its out there, someones not willing to share it
I won't be willing to share it either, except with whoever makes the following changes for me!
Anyone here have experience with coding grids?
What I need is a seperate customization for each subsequent grid level. Should look like this.
#1 - 10 pip
#2 - 20 pip
#3 - 40 pip
#4 - 80 pip
#5 - 160 pip
But of course each should be able to be tweaked (i dont want it to double each time, I want to be able to set custom values for each grid level, maybe like 7, 15, 25, 45, 75 whatever it may be... needs the option to be customized.
And about 20 tweakable grid levels would be nice (not just 5 like in the example)
If you can get that code working, can you try and make it so I can change the lot multiplier (or step amount if I choose not to use a multiplier) for each new grid level?
For example, for #1, it could be something like 1.05 multiplier. Then for the 2nd grid level, 1.10 multiplier, Then for the 3rd, 1.20..
See what I mean?
I will send you the original code (which is very good I might add) and hopefully you can make the changes.
I have a grid that can do 5% a month but it sometimes has equity draw downs of 10%. If the previous changes listed can be made to the grid, it will be able to perform with that same profit level, but with a significantly less amount of draw down in the scenarios when it has to make 5+ grid entries.
Why? Because most of the profit comes from vanilla trades, not the grid trades.
The point of a grid is auto profit without a chance of it being able to blow up the account.
You can easily make 5-10% a year with a SAFE (no chance of blown account) grid EA (far more than any bond will pay).
But I'm trying to get 50%+ out of this one.

Be hopeful in a winning position, and fearful in a losing position.
