Griddy Wotsit Mk 2

Like Steve said....would you have the balls deep enough to trade 100k account like that?

I guess not.
I'll let you know in a year.....

Problem at the moment lies with Empty4.
It's getting clogged with 8 pairs trading so I intend to set up several terminals trading the same account during the weekend. Spreading the pairs across the terminals should lower the workload on each.
I have a dedicated 8Gb VPS for trading, and it's running 50-80% CPU at the moment...

What I also noticed is that most of the times during the night, positions accumulate in the several hedges, going nowhere and costing commission, swap and so on. My idea is to start to use the tradinghours and stop trading after a certain time. The EA will continue trading a hedge after this time, but stop starting a new fresh grid after the hedge has closed. Start trading again an hour before London open, and get going again.

GW added 3,5% already today......

Thats good, i had same ideeas. Also, i need a bigger VPS too. Mine is over capacity already....

Goodluck to you :hi:

Funny you say this because I have noticed the opposite. I seem to be closing baskets overnight and not as much during the day.

I'm up around 11% of my initial demo deposit of £300 since around yesterday 1am GMT.

Cheers!

And after the basket closed?

Depends of the day. If I am lucky, a basket will close in the afternoon (GMT). I think with using the GBPJPY it is hard to say that baskets close more often at certain times as it is taking advantage of both Asian session time and London session time. I dunno? (My data is a bit skewed because of my first demo account ruined)

I do love this EA though. I played with the settings and I don't know exactly why things are the way they are but I don't seem to have any big amount of open trade battles like the first demo I had. I am taking advantage of what Steve posted quite a few posts back about keeping your basket TP low so it doesn't leave things floating as much. I am now only collecting £5 baskets and 10 pip TPs.

I have collected 6 £5 baskets so far since about 1am yesterday.

I am still thinking that with the right settings, this EA can be a very reliable steady earner.

Cheers!

10k acct, 0.01, 2 pairs (EU GJ)=> thats the key to make money with this EA. Play small lots. Margin call should have to be very far away.

If only it were that simple. I don't have 10k to fund an account. At the moment I am looking to trade only one pair with the best settings possible as I only have about £300 - £400 to go live with. I think my settings are pretty good now. I wish I understood all the settings even though most of them are pretty straight forward.

I think I will see my demo account through for the rest of the month and see what it does and near end March or beginning of April I will put some funds and go live.

I am also experimenting with HGBnG but I find that can bring more DD than GW so fingers crossed GW will be a steady earner until I can do more demo testing on HGBnG.

c'mon mate, if lfe would depend on this, you will find more than 10k

Mind to share your best settings?

Have a great weekend!

No disrespect intended but what planet do you live on? I can't just magic up 10k to put in an account for trading. I this world, I have a mortgage, loans, credit card debts and household bills. My wife works full time as I am struggling to make enough money to cover my half of the bills. With a low paying pizza delivery job that hardly gives me full time wages, I am lucky enough to say that I can fund an account with £400.

Anyway, rant over. I have attached the set file.

Basically I have a 10 pip grid size, TP at 10 pips and all hedging sets at "0" except for the cash hedge profit at £5 which is approximately 80pips if converted cash for pips on the GBPJPY pair. Distance between group pips 5000 and L4 opposite grid send to TRUE.

I am not convinced yet if it my the "best settings" although it is something that has been working very well for such a short period of testing. Things I am considering at the moment is to make the basket profit even smaller and the grid larger.

I've been reading a lot about Grid trading and Grid trading with hedge and unfortunately it has mostly been very negative. I myself am wondering why that is and are they talking about a similar strategy to what this EA is producing?

Whether the statement is valid, I had read on one website that mentions most people that grid trade trade in a grid of 20 - 30 pips and fail. His approach to it was that the grid was too small!!! He thinks that a grid should be around 100 - 150 pips which to me sound VERY laughable.

From this thread, it would seem to me that Steve is the winner of pip making. He seems to be catching a lot of pips. I am wondering if he has his basket TP at +30 pips as per original idea and also wondering what size his grid is set at.

Steve, "Care to share your settings to compare?"

Cheers!

Happy Pipping!

I think the secret weapon of this particular grid is the Semafor which seems to make a huge difference. And Steve excellent coding as always. As much as a grid method can be sort of random this on is less random than others.

Semafor? I am impressed to hear of someone using the Semafor option. I personally had left it alone.

Care to share some of your results in using this? i.e settings, days running, baskets won etc..

Thanks,

Daniel
