ok, well it will help avoid getting stuck with too many trades if you move it to 0.1% ...it's up to you. even with 0.1%, the volume can still give you decent profit, i.e. 100 trades closed at 0.1%, instead of 5-6 at 1%

Are you sure? that would mean you have a setting value of 10. This means on a $10,000 account the trades would close to leave you with $100 profit instead of $10 with value of 1 setting.

yes! that calculation is correct!

Yep, this EA solves the problem of hangers\stragglers of standard grids. You just have to figure out how many open trades your account can withstand over the long run, to determine appropriate grid size. Having them too close appears to cause ...

Time will tell. We have a mixture\variety of configurations with the testers here, and we'll be able to see how smaller spreads\gaps compare to larger ones.

Congrats on that...mine is showing what happens when you wait for good things... I would consider bringing the EA back online at least on the first day of the year, if not a couple of days before. Gold can make some long distance moves. Look at the ...

Cool beans...(how many people use that saying? I ought to poll it) I made sure I turned off windows updates when I launched my VPS, and recommend everybody do the same. YAY! gold went down enough to close my trades. ~msdogan...lookes like ...

We are ok for testing with current method of calculating equity. The only significant change that will benefit us right now is being able to calculate the TP\SL that would correspond with the equity target. News this morning is all pro-USD, so we'll ...

I agree...I want people to be able to run it for a few weeks on current settings to allow everybody to see the robustness of the EA. We will just have to ignore accidents in judging the results. We do want to know if there are issues, of course. ...

If you're having connection problems with the VPS, that can cause the EA to lose track of the profit target. Then, when you restart it, it sees the target as 0.2% above current equity, which is actually a loss. I was watching your explorer a ...

Hey everybody. I've been doing some research on how to implement having the EA place and modify TPs and SLs to hit target equity. One idea I have would be almost a total re-write of the code. The only things that would be the same is the lot size ...

Thanks, kosmo! wow...21 seconds to close trades 21:04:11-21:04:32 and...$0.43 between when lowest and highest buy close price, and $0.24 between lowest and highest sell close price! Still lost $67 for the day before subtracting commission! Buys had ...

The EA can have SL, but it's not programmed in the way we want it. You can assign an individual fixed SL in pips to each trade, but it will be the same loss for each trade. The risk of this is twofold...if a trade closes on SL, the opposite trade ...

The EA works without changing settings. Some people are having problems, and their solution is to have a separate trade manager. That's up to them. Other people have had problems with all their trades being opened, the only way to fix this is to ...

When all your trades are hedged, it's impossible to recover by itself, notice your P\L hasn't changed at all. Yes, you have to close all of them and start over. You will have lost 22%. It's ok, I was apparently down 14%, and made it all back ...
