No backtest can substitute a real account live forward test. It is time consuming, but even in Forex, patience is rewarded.

Master Bauta's concept of grid direction change by using 50 period 1H MA has been working out very well. While my live account is running with the above rule (using ScalperStyle), as of next week I will be experimenting with a new direction changing ...

Would you please include the numerical details of the backtest? Thanks!

So far my experiment with ScalperStyle and fix small TP is going well. I am running the EA between 00:00 - 18:00 (GMT+2) on EURUSD and avoiding red news. From 00:00 to 04:00 I do some "Dragon Ride" on GBPJPY. My modest goal is 0.5% per day with 0.01 ...

Exactly! Our "only" threats are the major, sudden uni-directional price movements"... They may come only once a year, but they can take the entire account. One has to be aware of it and act very carefully when trading "MartiGrids".

@akkus45 Very interesting statistics, especiallly about the 11 account crashes over a 12 months period of time. Well, lets play a little with this idea: What if we reversed all signals issued in the backtest...? 1. We would get numerous losses every ...

New file has been installed in Scalper mode with fix 3.5 Euro profit per trade or basket on multiple pairs. The scalper mode is the most intriguing setting to me, so I am going to concetrate my forward tests along this line. Thank you, Master Bauta!

Excellent job! Thank you! Two questions: 1. What settings did you use for the backtest? 2. What was the largest Grid level?

Thank you, Norman! As mentioned before, identifyong the right "battlefield" (i.e. the most ranging pairs with preferably low spreads) and the most optimal time periods for the "battle" (i.e. the most ranging time period of the day, avoidance of red ...

@Bauta Would you please make the Start and Stop times adjustable in the parameters (StartHH, StartMM, StopHH, StopMM)? After StopHH/StopMM is triggered, the EA would automatically close running basket and "go to sleep", i.e. activate Continue: FALSE ...

Would you have a MyFxBook link to your account? (It is much easier to analyze results on MyFxBook than on FxBlue.)

@akkus45 On your backtest reports the Spread is marked as 6. I had the impression that MT4 backtests calculate the spread in pips, not in points. Please correct me if I were wrong about it.

Expanding Grid

@akkus45 Your posted backtest results are pretty good - especially with a 6 pips(!) spread calculation: +19.7% profit with -6% DD in one day. Since real live spreads were probably significantly lower (around 1-1.5 pip on a Standard account), the ...

@akkus45 Your suggestion sounds good - with the hindsight of subsequent price movements. What if the price went UP (and not down)? Well, then we would be stuck with additional floating sell positions and heading towards the 5th and 6th grid levels, ...
