• This is not a set-and-forget ea; there is no such thing and anyone who tries to claim there is, is either stupid or lying. This ea requires frequent manual intervention.

MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS POST http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 41#p111241 There was a Forex bloodbath on Jan 15th 2015 that you need to know about.

Pipcruiser's Pipcrusher 'n Grid is Pipcruiser's Pipcrusher (down load and read about at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 14#p101314) with HGB'nG (http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =87&t=4525) grid trading and hedging added.

I have made it possible for users to have complete control over the time periods they use, with these inputs:

• LongerTimeFrame: go on, take a guess.
• LongerPeriod: how many candles to include in the trend detection.
• LongerCandlesStart: the candle from which you want the calculation to start. The default means the previous candle.

There are the equivalent inputs for medium and trading time frames. Any combo of time frames should be covered by this.

Examples:

• 1) PP as originally intended
  • - LongerTimeFrame = MN1. LongerPeriod = 1 LongerCandleStart = 1
    - MediumTimeFrame = W1. MediumPeriod = 1. MediumCandleStart = 1.
    - TradingTimeFrame = D1. TradingPeriod = 1. TradingCandleStart = 1.
  2) The previous 20 and then 5 trading days starting 2 days ago, trading yesterday's candle.
  • - LongerTimeFrame = D1. LongerPeriod = 20 LongerCandleStart = 2
    - MediumTimeFrame = D1. MediumPeriod = 5. MediumCandleStart = 2.
    - TradingTimeFrame = D1. TradingPeriod = 1. TradingCandleStart = 1.
  3) The previous 30 starting 10 days ago, and then 10 trading days starting 1 day ago, trading using the direction of previous 2 candles as trigger.
  • - LongerTimeFrame = D1. LongerPeriod = 30 LongerCandleStart = 10
    - MediumTimeFrame = D1. MediumPeriod = 10. MediumCandleStart = 1.
    - TradingTimeFrame = D1. TradingPeriod = 2. TradingCandleStart = 1.

You can turn off hedging and grid trading with the relevant true/false inputs, so US citizens can use the grid. Hedging works as it does for HGB'nG - I copied most of the inputs and code from him. This should make lower time frame trading more successful, but we shall see.

Try this out folks, and see if it is successful. I have traded PPoS on my live account, so I have high hopes of this flavour.

EA coding
I receive may requests to code EA's. Traders, if I code your EA for free, then I will share it here. If you want me to code your EA without sharing, then my fee is $100 payable into my paypal account. I explain why at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... ?f=15&t=79, at the bottom of the post.

Thank you Steve!!!

I just noticed that the PP'nG file in the editor needed saving. You might want to redownload if you downloaded it before the time and date of this post, just in case I made a code change and forgot to save the file.

Thanks! I have downloaded again

Hi Steve,
Can we also place the options to send new Grid on Semaforclose?

Thank you!

Hi Steve,
Can we also place the options to send new Grid on Semaforclose?

Thank you!

Do you mean a la HGB'nG, with the ReplaceWinnersGrid and DeleteAndReplaceLosersGrid inputs?

[patmontes]

Yes oh Great One.... Thank you very much in advance :hi:

Yes oh Great One.... Thank you very much in advance :hi:

V 1a is in post 1.

All I have done is port what I think is the relevant code across from HGB'nG, so sing out if everything goes haywire.

Hi, I have got rain of Open Close positions when switching from PPnG to PPnG Hedged around 1h ago. Can you look what could cause this? BOT should not be active as time was set up +00.15,-00.45. You can see this EGand AC.
