Good result

Your Maddy setting is very interesting.
H1 colum is used twice.

If you don't mind , could you share setfiles ?

I can just say big THANKS to Rene for coding this EA and synchronize it with MADDY.
Why trading in both directions when you have a super tool that can point you in right direction.
Like you are lost in woods and have compas in your pocket but do not want to use it.

Anyway I am testing this toy for 3 days and here are my results using 0.05 lots and was never in DD more then 1%.

I have a question for Rene if you have time for answering is How you determine anchor point ? Is it last opened order or something else cause sometimes it sells almost at bottom not waiting for a little more of pullback.

Keep up good work. I am amazed by your coding skills . Big cudos for you.

Hi Windorz,

I am using H1 column twice since I want to be alerted of possible reverse when 5/34 H1 MA crosses as this is signfor me that it is either deep pullback or even reverse of midtrend. I am using lookback period of 3 days and although those are not freshest signals but there are not many crosses of 34/13 especially on H1 so this is my midtrend.
I try to get freshest signals from M15 cross since M5 I think is too fast and even a little retrace will negate strength/weak currency.

I also changed at Griddancer ATRdistance to 0.1 from 0.05 to widen distance between grid trades.
Here is a set file from Maddy so you can test if you want.

Regards.

Maddy_34_13_5.set

This is how it looks like and usually from DO 13/34 will cross only once per day and this is your guide and trend for the day. Hope it helps to get clearer picture of Maddy settings.

Now that is creative thinking...well done Neno

It shows that the possibilities are endless and we have only scratched the surface.

Some thoughts entering my mind as I am digesting Neno's post...brilliant by the way. Will post here as soon as I get more clarity in my head.

Neno0102...Thanks for sharing your Maddy setfile

...Could you please share your setfiles for GM and GD too...Or, is this OOTB?

Thanks for your kind words.

The anchor point is purely the (Bid+Ask)/2 at the time GridDancer starts with an empty stack of trades. The grid is laid out above and below this anchor point at equal distance (determined by the DistanceBetweenTradesATRRatio or DistanceBetweenTradesPIPs parameters). Each time a grid level is crossed (by price), GridDancer takes a decision to either BUY or SELL.

Hope this answers you question.

Hi Bazze,

They are OOTB except I have changed DistancebetweenATRRatio to 0.1 not to get too many trades close to each other.

Cheers !!!

Thanks Rene for explanation.

Is it possible to code that GridDancer manage open trades outside trading hours that were left open from trading session ? Please look at pic. below

I had CADJPY sell but conditions changed and now I am left without offset and since trading hours are not active it is not opening trades. Can this be implemented, not to open new trades but manage existed ?

Thanks again for allyour hard work.

Cheers !!!

GridDancer does not manage open trades. That is the job of GridMaster.

The way it works is this:
GridMaster is the overall controller EA. It tells the GridDancers when it is time to do their job (which is opening trades). GridDancer's do not close trades, except when they receive a message from GridMaster to Rinse-n-Repeat (or Rinse-n-Remove). In that case, they close all their own trades (for their own symbol) and move on.
Outside the trading times (as set on GridMaster), GridMaster continues to monitor and close trades (as soon as it finds a combination that exceeds the value for MinProfit).

Hope this clarifies.
