Holy Graily Bob 'n Grid

[SteveHopwood]

Don't panic folks. Tony has pm'd me in the recent past to say how much he enjoys my occasional rant - even one at his own expense.

My previous post was a tease. As I occasionally remark, I do try to entertain. I will pm him to ensure he sees this post.

Tony, the answer to your question is, "Yes".

May I ask Steve, is this your HGB'nG Version 1k that you were trading on your live account since the 17th?

Nope. It is V 213995K in post 490,000,672. Keep up dammit.

Now, call me "Mr Thickee" (yeah, you might want to examine that invitation quite closely) but I am not entirely sure which bit of this from post 1 confuses you:

Live trading and demo versions.
I am trading HGB'nG with tiny lots on my live trading account, but only the version whose code has been tested and proven. This is the "Holy Graily Bob 'n Grid 1k Steve's live trading version" version. "Holy Graily Bob 'n Grid" is the latest for demo only, because it contains untested code.

Now, I am sorry that the sentences contained more that 5 words, and that some of the words were of more than 2 syllables, but that is me.

Damn.

Sorry.

I will try again. Here goes.

I am sorry that the sentences contained more that 5 words.

And that some of the words were of more than 2 syllables.

But that is me.

Hehehe... Point taken!

You'd think after reading post 1 a dozen times, I'd retain some of it...

Obviously, with having 5 words to deal with I must start at 1, and work through 5!

Well, that's my Saturday morning's entertainment taken care of! Even if it was at my expense...

Thanks Steve!
Cheers

Oh, that is a relief!

I was thinking for a minute that I'd better get cracking so I can test Version 1 through V 213995K before lunch!

Have a great weekend all, and may the laughs be with you!

Cheers

tony i would thoroughly recommend Teamviewer, a free app that you install on both your pc and your smartphone which allows remote access to your pc from anywhere anytime through your phone. no more waiting to get home to have access to your Empty4 platforms

I also am very happy with the hedging features of this bot.

Trading live the stop and limit orders method, HGB'nG makes huge profits when the markets take off like a homicidal elevator. Then he gives the gains back slowly - not in the spectacular fashion of the original HGB, but given back all the same.

The latest demo version has been performing superbly. I shall be replacing the stop and limit version with the latest hedging demo on Monday, and making him the live trading version in post 1.

Progress on the demo since 17th Jan, left entirely unattended:


I saw tonight a bundle of pending trades sent following a signal from HGI far too close to markets shutting up shop for the weekend. I will add a NoNewSignalsTradedOnFridayAfter function in time for next weekend.

May I ask Steve, is this your HGB'nG Version 1k that you were trading on your live account since the 17th?

Just curious, as I have been playing with both V 1k, and V 1v on a demo account just to compare over the past week, good results on both so far...

I didn't place a chart here as I wasn't home in time to close before NFP so it was a bit of a mess, but hey, that is what a demo account is for! Ironing out one's trading so there are no creases before going live!

Just to clarify, both versions 1k and 1v are working as they should, which is wonderful, very promising!

Cheers

had a great post typed out just to close it by accident.

basically to explain the following miracle that added another $428 to the account today...



I will not be attempting this stunt on live, unless I somehow grow titanium balls

Great results ! Are you still using the same set file as the one you posted a couple of pages back?

"Holy Graily Bob 'n Grid 1v Steve's live trading version" is in post 1. This is no different to the current V 1v, so no need to rush to download it - just that this is the version going on my live trading account tonight.

Remember the mantras; ingrain them into your psyche. Tiny lot sizes folks, tiny lot sizes. NEVER trade live with funds you cannot afford to lose. NEVER get greedy and bump up your lot sizes after a few successes. In Forex trading, if it can happen and it is bad for you, then it will happen and sooner rather than later.

An awesome piece of machinery and wise words Steve.

You need lazarus. Google, "lazarus: form recovery". This is an invaluable addon. I have it installed on Firefox, but I would bet a fiver that it is available for all browsers.

Lazarus is so invaluable that I have donated towards its upkeep and will do so again in the future. There will be alternatives for different browsers.

Week starts as good as last ended. Since you are live Steve - I hope you caught the GJ/UJ moves! Good Luck to everyone.
