Griddy Wotsit Mk 2

[keydcuk]

Maybe change the "MaxDistanceBetweenGroupsPips" to a level like '20' or whatever and observe what happens then. I believe it will behave like a 2 trade grid and re-sends after every 2nd trade.

I tried this and it doesn't seem to work. All it does it keeps deleting pending positions and resetting them even when nothing is triggered and PA is in the middle of a grid.

I guess what I am trying to do with this is limit the amount of hedging and have it trade more often. My hopeful setting would be to simply have a grid in both directions 10 pips apart and take profit at 10 pips. Once the 10 pips has been achieved, start again from the absolute beginning of EA grid settings.

With the grid being 10 pips apart, the most it could do is trigger L1 and go back the opposite direction to have the opposing L3 to seal the deal. Otherwise if it trends to L2' in the same direction, essentially you would have closed 10 pips and have the EA restart.

By doing this, you may not get as many pips in a day but DD and hedges waiting to close would be limited to virtually nothing at all. Another thing to consider is you would limit your exposure to negative swap. This would be done with the L4 set to false opens to opposing direction.

This is really stirring something in my head as I am thinking this, I am thinking what if the grid resets so that you are always 100% in a trade? I think that is waiting for another post. ERRRRR I so wish I knew how to code, I would love code something myself.

Cheers!

Well, that was another fun day.....
Running 8 pairs since last night, adding 1.000 pips today.
One thing I'm sure off, this can't last long.
Huge profit comes with huge risk, we just haven't discovered it yet.
Closed a 120 trade basket today.......
Like Martingale, this system can't loose.
Just make sure you have an unlimited bankroll......

I'm starting to use sAPBM to close all trades at a certain equity gain. We all know how many open positions you can end up with this EA and this will allow all trades to close once the Balance to Equity gap comes closer together and allow us to restart the grid, without having to watch all the time to close manually.

The other great thing about this manager is it will tell you the high and low watermark on your equity, giving you an idea on the swings GW makes while you're sleeping, etc.

I've set mine to close at about 2.5% equity gain, see how it goes.

Heres the link to this awesome basket manager.

This would be a very helpful for other EA's as well.

Nope, just my VPS running Windows Webserver 2008?

It's all I have, and an iPad to connect to it....

Hi Gertje

Would you mind sharing your set file.

I tried to set up GW on Global Prime (see attachment) and it sent '2038986 messages and 24,000 modifications' to their server overnight. When I check my computer in the morning my access to the GP server was blocked due to me having a "Top hyperactive account" :youknow: . Anyway is it obvious that I have some of my settings wrong.

I must say that Global Prime showed excellent service. They quickly traced down the offending EA and reinstating my service

Kind regards Richard

Same thing happened to me monday/tuesday, not quite sure what caused this for the moment

The problem with the pendings being placed then deleted over and over again is a logic problem. I have attempted a fix in 1h in post 1, but am not sure that is will work.

Here is the attempted fix to the function if you want to make the update yourselves. It begins at line 1324:

Code: Select all

bool IsGapBetweenGroupsTooBig()
{
   //Return true if the gap between the lowest market buy and the lowest market sell is too large,
   //else return false
   
   int ExistingGap = 0;
   int PendingGap = 0;
   
   //Market trades
   if (PendingTradesTotal < (GridSize * 2) )
   {
      if (MarketBuys > 0)
         if (MarketSells > 0)
         {
            //More buys than sells. Market has risen so gap is at the bottom of the buys
            if (MarketBuys > MarketSells)
            {
               ExistingGap = (HighestMarketBuyPrice - HighestMarketSellPrice) * factor;
            }//if (MarketBuys > MarketSells)
            
            //More sells than buys. Market has fallen so gap is at the top of the sells
            if (MarketBuys < MarketSells)
            {
               ExistingGap = (LowestMarketBuyPrice - LowestMarketSellPrice) * factor;
            }//if (MarketBuys > MarketSells)
            
            if (ExistingGap > MaxDistanceBetweenGroups)
               return(true);
         }//if (MarketSells > 0)
   
      //Pending trades
      if (BuyStops > 0)
         if (SellStops > 0)
         {
            //More buys than sells. Market has risen so gap is at the bottom of the buys
            if (BuyStops > SellStops)
            {
               PendingGap = (LowestBuyStopPrice - HighestSellStopPrice) * factor;
            }//if (BuyStops > SellStops)
            
            //More sells than buys. Market has fallen so gap is at the top of the sells
            if (BuyStops < SellStops)
            {
               PendingGap = (LowestBuyStopPrice - HighestSellStopPrice) * factor;
            }//if (BuyStops > SellStops)
            
            //Equal numbers
            if (BuyStops == SellStops)
            {
               PendingGap = (LowestBuyStopPrice - HighestSellStopPrice) * factor;
            }//if (BuyStops == SellStops)
            
            
            if (PendingGap > MaxDistanceBetweenGroups)
               return(true);
         }//if (PendingSellStop > 0)
   
   }//if (PendingTradesTotal < (GridSize * 2) )
   


   //Got this far, so gap is ok
   return(false);

}//bool IsGapBetweenGroupsTooBig()

Man, this is like watching paint drying......
