Such a cynic... — The difference is we only care about movement. Broad movement. We don't care about direction, pullbacks, price spikes, it's all good. Those are some of the things that make trading with the trend difficult. Of course there ...

Yes it would miss 2 increments — In a strong trend, my way would miss one increments (your new grid would start at b2, mine at b3). You can think of it as a sequence of grids with a little overlap, which is much safer. G1 starts, G2 starts (@ ...

Tough entry filters — This was my original idea to making tough entry filters that keep you out 80% of the time and only in during the best 20% of the time when the market is trending very strongly or swinging wildly. Then put the EA on 8 ...

Just some extra profit — With the proper spacing, only one grid can be floundering in the "Death Trade" at a time. Every "bad" swing of one grid has the other closing in profit. So while one grid is eating margin (temporarily), the other is ...

I see the diconnect — In my playing around and formulating the multi-grid EA, I was not going to start new g1 as soon as it closes. It would wait for g2/b3 before starting g3. Master-slave relationship. When Master closes, Slave is promoted to ...

Yes, TP and sloping bands — Hi Ogie, Yes, amongst the other improvements, I added a TP for the entire set. As for the slope, I simply added a check that the current band value is greater than the previous (up sloping) when the price closes ...

Sorry Ogi — Hi Ogi, I wanted to apologize. I did read your postings but did not examine the source code you posted. I thought they were indicators, not the EA. I have updated ViperGrid to include a new volatility filter, as Ogi has suggested ...

Hmmm... — For the lots, you would have to use the high/low water mark and set the value less than the broker allowed amount. As for your trade results, why do the settings (input parameters) shown in your version 2.4 results contain parameters ...

Multigrids starting near b3/s3 — Hi plasma, I have been playing a little with multi grids and if you start at b3/s3 it is impossible to have two grids both in consolidation. When the first grid crosses the pivot and heads to the opposite side, ...

This is a good idea... thanks — This is a really good idea for those with a limit to the number of open and pending orders. On my demo account, I have a limit of 200 orders and I think many others have similar limits. This would GREATLY reduce ...

Just the way it works, unfortunately — In back tests, at the end of the testing period, every position is liquidated. Since the grid often runs drawdowns before it eventually closes in profit, the last trade set, even though in drawdown is ...

Exactly — I used really low values because I was trying to force them into action for testing purposes. The High water mark is easy. You simply want that to kick in before your broker kicks his own limits in. For instance, if your broker has a ...
