..... testing 2pip grid on demo and 5pip grid on cent account

Round 1.... 2pip vs 5pip

.. 2 pip = 1631pips (GP demo)

vs

5pip = 117pips (RF cent Live)

.. the spread eats into the cent account a chunky chunk or two but huge difference none the less and both very positive for one day's hands off trading!!

Draw-down was only about 2 x with 2pip amazingly so going to reverse the test tomorrow

Nice TraderJoe. My results so far running OOTB on GJ. so 5pip

I am going to fire up a 2 pip demo and see what does better.

Anyone here up for the challenge?

Had the same thing earlier - so here's my tuppence worth. I think it's the "while"s in the simple offset :

Code: Select all

  
while (!result)
{
     result = CloseOrder(LowestBuyTicketNo);               
}//while (!result)

So could add a counter like:

Code: Select all

while (!result)
                  {
                     CloseAttempts++;
                     if (CloseAttempts >= 15)
                      {
                      CloseAttempts = 0;
                      return;
                      }
                     
                     result = CloseOrder(HighestSellTicketNo);
                                    
                  }//while (!result)

Or would "break" rather than "return" get you out of it so you don't miss anything else?

The latest version with the replaced fixes hasn't stalled yet in craptesting. The counter thingy always works but I could not see where to add it. Let's just see what happens for now.

I spoke too soon. Looking into this solution instead.

V 1e is in post 1. It contains the fix that Bruster suggested to the endless loop thingy. This is an essential download folks. You may not have experienced the thingy yet, but you will.

I loaded up RnR onto a GJ chart on my live account earlier today. I understand the risks of doing so with code at a relatively early stage in development, and so traded 0.01 lots, a fraction of a realistic trade size. I am up so far 155 pips even with the hiccups.

And yes, I have loaded each update onto my live account. I try hard not to be an idiot. There will be those here desperately clinging on to 1b or some such because the problems with it have yet to bite them on the bum. They are dimwits.

V 1f is in post 1.

I have reached the wrist-slashing stage and cannot be bothered to explain. Just take it from me ok? You need the update.

I am going to bed.

Hi Steve,

I would like to let you know what a noticed today about the baseline, after the EA has closed "all the positions", and kept just one(short) opened, the price of the baseline(160.750) wasn't the same as the open position(160.699), I don't know if it is right or not, just would like to let you know. All the best.

The baseline has the value of the last opened position, not necessary the last remaining open position.

OK, thanks for your reply. It creates a small gap, I don't know if it should be updated to price of the last remaining open position.

From my reading and re-reading am I to assume this EA is time-frame independent? I see some are using M5 and H4 TF. What if any is the difference? Thanks

Any TF is fine, pick one! : )
