You can use it for live with no problem. Im using icarus with real money with my broker. What seems to be the problem?

I would have wanted to go back further, but in Feb. 2020, there is a very large movement of around 300 pips with almost no retracement. So i have not been able to get past that hurdle. Maybe after there is more improvement on our hedging- we will be ...

Best for live testing is the version you have used for backtest.

If you got good results on backtest, then it is your prerogative if you want to continue on in live or forward testing. It is not for us to answer what version to use. Use what you have tested. That is the best option.

Thank you for your share, Can you further expound on your strategy? Based on your post, you first determine the weekly direction and also the recommended pairs via your shared template. Once this is established, Are we suppose to use Icarus only in ...

For me, Hedging should be done only when your grid is maxed out already. The martingale/fibonacci grid should take care of a certain range in the market. Hedge should kick in when the grid strategy is out of range already. That is my style that i ...

Question: How do I flush the variables, when I reboot Icarus? When I turn off the EA, and change settings, and run again - current drawdown is not in sync. It says i have drawdown even if there is none.

This is a very good idea. I have encountered slowly losing equity and eventually margin call, I think this will solve it. Thank you amrhamdy for your analysis, and thanks to romiek for the initial work - I hope Romiek would try to further improve ...

I am not a coder, but i would like to help as much as posssible. And yes, in some of my backtesting, there are instances where the quity is slowly eaten away until margin call. It sort of makes a loop that it cannot recover from. Hope we can add ...

This is what i am trying to explain, Using short tf and small period will always create very low grid size, this is very dangerous because if there is a big trend , you will be liquidated in one spike or drop in the market. Have to understand ATR ...

Can you explain the mechanics of your hedge? I can't quite seem to come up a baseline setting that im comfortable with. If you give a detailed overview, then we can design our own strategy set.

Free Grid EA Ikarus - From zero to hero

Thanks for explaining. This is why, when I use ATR on long TF and bigger period, it gives me more stable grid sizing. If you use short tf and smaller period- there are times that the grid contracts to small. I still believe using ATR is better than ...
