good! she needs to post it on an explorer.....(hint, kosmo, for you :nerd:blush: OOPS! I see she already did...very nice! ~kosmo...did you do something to keep the BET version from placing new orders once price had moved up to 1220, and ...

Looks pretty good. It's probably a good idea, once you implement this, to test with various buffers, like you have in your calculations. That way, we can see which settings net the biggest profit over a significant period of time (like 3 months). I ...

What you also may want to watch out for is if it starts looking like just a standard grid, it won't work. A standard grid being, for example, buy and sell orders every $10. When price goes straight for $80, it loses huge. I don't think that would be ...

I like your idea. So, you're saying close all un-hedged, positive $$$ trades every $10? And close enough hedged trades to net a profit, leaving open the other hedged trades? Your idea may be a good compromise to try to take some trades off the ...

image ~dgodfrey I was looking at your V1 explorer and it seems it hasn't had a first cycle, is this correct? Or did the first round net a loss?

Very true...but if we could figure that out perfectly, we would actually be better off just directional trading, IMO. The entry is always the nemesis.

My vote is 0.50 or 0.60. However, the entry point does make a difference, too. This isn't an idea that can be turned into a risk\reward scenario. That is strictly for directional trading. This is a bit of a statistical play on inevitability. There ...

url this trade explorer has gaps over $2. You can see it hasn't closed trades in over 3 weeks. Those are probably too high of gaps. The most ideal is to have the smallest lot size, the closest gaps, the smallest profit that won't slip into ...

image Don't worry about the DD...it is normal for this EA. You just have to be patient for price to move far enough to profit. You may go a week without seeing trades closed, if the market is flat.

I have no problem with you releasing code. I think it will allow testers to spot problems and see any room for improvement.

true....how true slippage works live is basically the price moving while the order from your broker is still on its way to the liquidity provider. The best way to beat this is use a broker that has their live server right next to the liquidity ...

image Grief! I didn't even have that kind of slippage when trading live, manually! I'm guessing the broker's server is a long ways away from their liquidity provider, and they are allowing some kind of simulation of order sending. Regular demos ...
