Hi Rapple,
I think it was deleted with the new Bob's update. Can you re-post it?
Thanks

Interesting, all my 15, 30 and 60 min demos are down this week, Interesting to see Gertje's account doing so well. Will restart using the new EA version and see how they do with the force trend turned on and off, lets test this thing!

Well, it's hard to imagine for me your M30 isn't doing well.currymonster » Tue Oct 21, 2014 5:42 pm wrote:Interesting, all my 15, 30 and 60 min demos are down this week, Interesting to see Gertje's account doing so well.

Secret Bob. Sometimes trendy, sometimes not.
I'm running a demo since sunday opening and I cannot say it's going bad even if it's too short to
(only 2 days).
Already banked 53€ with 0.01 lot size over 22 pairs on H1.
The Max DD have been 89€
Settings OOTB except SL/TP 500 (like Gertje).
MaxTrade left to 5 (it happened twice already).
What I noticed looking at the charts when multiple orders were opened is usually the first ones closed at loss and the latest ones at gain.
I made an estimation by doubling the lot size (and thus the gain or loss) of each order from its previous one for each pair (0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.08 & 0.16) and the 53€ gain would have been 135€.
I haven't seen such kind of function in the code and despite the fact I am not really fan of this kind of grid or martingale, it seems it could help to be more profitable.
Of course nothing is free and I cannot estimate what would have been the DD and the margin use (bigger for sure).
Could we think about adding such kind of grid lot multiplier to the code?
The idea would be, for each pair, the 1st order open at "Lot", the 2nd order at "Lot" x "GridMultiplier", the 3rd order at "Lot" x "GridMultiplier" x "GridMultiplier", and so on until MaxTrade is reached and/or the close happen on reversal signal and start back at 1st order open at "Lot".
Disabling the function would be easily made by setting the multiplier to 1.
Cheers

No idea, maybe run 2 side-by-side and look for differences.currymonster » Tue Oct 21, 2014 6:45 pm wrote:Hmm wierd, my demo on Friday did fantastically well but this week not so.

It's weird indeed.
(FWIW, I'm running version 1b)

Hmm I still have version 1 B from the 17th. I think that runs the EA with the 240MA as an SMA instead of LWMA,
Hmm I'll maybe run two demos each of V1b and V1f, 30 min and 60 min see if there's any difference. Maybe I'll reload the original indicators with alerts see if that make a difference?
Hmm ok will get to it, oh and apply all the pairs as I was running less than 20.
Will sort it now

I thought that, but I believe the bottom section is open trades, look at the totals at the top of the screen for the closed trades, a big difference from my results, doh!piet.forex » Tue Oct 21, 2014 8:41 pm wrote:Is it just me but it looks like a loss of 1456 pips on 30M and a loss of 1733 pips om H1.Gertje » Tue Oct 21, 2014 7:51 pm wrote:Well, it's hard to imagine for me your M30 isn't doing well.currymonster » Tue Oct 21, 2014 5:42 pm wrote:Interesting, all my 15, 30 and 60 min demos are down this week, Interesting to see Gertje's account doing so well.
