thorn replied Jul 31, 2016Getting better. I would have to take a look. I could cherry pick many tests on piggy that make it look like a millionaire maker. But one test is not reality. I hope your 100 starting balance is just for testing? There is no way any sane person would ...

thorn replied Jul 31, 2016"Its practically dangerous". Interesting. Your EA shows a 68% DD and you dont consider that dangerous. Not to mention the only results you show is few tradse over small time period. A new user jumping into other threads to promote their "still in ...

thorn replied Jul 31, 2016So you dont consider 68% DD "large" with your EA. Test results are "extraordinary"? When you show only a test with very few trades and you yourself say its a work in progress? Need a little more than that before you troll another system with your ...

thorn replied Jul 31, 2016Nice results Gold. Do you still use the settings from post 938? Do you trade just A/U? Are your draw down stats real time or just when a position closes like the strategy tester? I am trading a set up like yours except I am running multiple pairs at ...

thorn replied Jul 29, 2016I run multiple pairs. Smaller grid size though. Usually 3 or 4 at one time. Just make sure they are not too correlated in case you get stuck in a DD period. Not sure exactly what you are meaning by the group closure based on pairs. I close my grids ...

thorn replied Jul 25, 2016Piggy Knight? Is that your own creation? Different size lots on your grid steps can increase profits. Try your EU test with .03 for buy-step-up and sell-step-down and .01 for the other 2 steps. Bet you get better profit with only few percent more ...

thorn replied Jul 23, 2016G/J was in 3 month fairly steep down trend when the drawdown happened. That is to be expected with this EA, it is the weakness. The problem with the strategy tester is you just throw on the pair and let it rip for a year with no intervention. Have ...

thorn replied Jul 21, 2016I am testing something close to that. Once I reach 1% equity growth I close out the whole grid and start over. Trading 2-4 pairs at once with a small grid/tp step. So far this week I have closed twice for a 2% equity bump. Still trying to decide ...

thorn replied Jul 20, 2016Pretty sure he is increasing the sell lots as it goes up. That brings the average price up close to current price so he only need a small retrace to get break even or profit. That will work as long as you get a good enough retrace. Always hard to ...

thorn replied Jul 20, 2016Hey mate, that is not a trend. Its a short term price spike. Piggy will handle that easily with no intervention. Even much bigger spikes than that. Do some visual back tests. It may make you more comfortable with how this EA works. Your idea is not ...

thorn replied Jul 19, 2016It averages in as the price goes against you. The logic being there will be a reversal and the average price of your bad trades will be close enough to be hit for break even or small profit. It works pretty good until there is a long slow trend with ...

thorn replied Jul 18, 2016Did a bunch of 6 month back tests this weekend (Jan-Jun 2016). This thing runs really slow in the tester so I kept them short. I used EUR/USD mostly but did run a few other pairs. Just some general thoughts if others want to run some too. Larger ...

thorn replied Jul 15, 2016This is not a martingale strategy. Its a grid trader. There is no mechanism to deal with draw down except time and the hope closing winning trades, keep you above water until the market reverses. In back testing it does pretty good in range markets, ...

thorn replied Jul 12, 2016Hi Sevan, the original EA you wrote for this strategy RenkoSimple.ex4 . I really like the way it enters trades but it exits as soon as a brick changes color and has bumped me out of many good trades. If its not too much trouble could you disable ...

thorn replied Jul 12, 2016You can set the TP value to some unreachable number that the price will never hit. That way it will not close any orders. You can input a crazy number like 10000 pips for your TP levels. But you would then have to manage the trades yourself. I have ...

thorn replied Jul 11, 2016From the tests I have run on this (about 50 on daily TF over 1.5 years) you need large grid size on daily TF to keep many pairs from blowing up. Some do well like this E/U one. Others blow up or the percent profit on the safer settings is not worth ...
