Hi, MaPi, To my understanding, I confirm what your requirements are in other words. The indicator condition is only opening the first order, the following orders of the cycle will be handled by pure grid logic. You are going to use indicator ...

Then, what about RSI? The reason why I prepare Conjunct_Idx is one can use those indicators together and also can use them separately, that is, when one of them give signal will trigger the operation. However, It seems to me that you are going to ...

Be careful, owing to the fact that as Icarus is in sleeping, it won't perform any profit lock and stop loss control. Perhaps you should set SL to those un-closed orders by hand to secure your account.

I didn't change the Grip trading logic of ICarus, CoG indicator is only used to determine when to initiate a Grip trading cycle or cycles. I had uploaded two versions, Icarus_2.2_COG and Icarus_2.2_COG_once. The former will wait for CoG signal to ...

@falanca, If you use CoG together with Icarus, it is difficult to see both cycle exists. It is if a buy cycle (for instance) is initiated, there is definite no sell cycle until the CoG sell condition is reached. However, when the sell condition is ...

The EA uses CoG just via two boolean functions as fallows. bool CoG_Buy(int tf) { double cog_sql = iCustom(Symbol(), tf, "Center of Gravity.ex4", 2, 0); if (Ask < cog_sql) return( true ); else return ( false ); return (false); } bool CoG_Sell(int ...

It can make two-way trade, but at beginning it always only one way cycle can be initialed because CoG won't give two-way signal at the same time. I just put a decision whether or not using CoG to open the first order of each cycle. If CoG is not ...
