Good catch.. yes I will add this note to post 1. It's also worth knowing that there will be error messages as a result of managing the EA this way too.. I am sure this can be sorted when Steve has a chance so that we can have a dedicated buy only and sell only version perhaps.

Dear Joe,

i though its only trade what its name as no need to set manual as mention above ( HGBnG long = long only, but i found HGBnG long trade sell ) so i set it manual but check from ur side as you said earlier you will add this note at post 1 and i did found nothing

Hi,

I setup a demo with the 50 pips "setup", and notice that the long and short HGBnG where taking the same trades (the short HGB open a short grid and the long HGB open another short grid - they where duplicating the trades)...

So I alter the code the following way:

HGBnG Long: comment (//) the lines from 2699 to 2705 and in line 1915 change the "sendshort" to false

HGBnG Short: comment (//) the lines from 2692 to 2696 and in line 1870 change the "sendlong" to false

This way it only open short trades in HGBnG Short and long trades in HGBnG Long.

I'm no coder, so USE ONLY IN DEMO until someone else verify the changes. :youknow:

The modify files are below.

Major update in post 1 with all new set files to accommodate a few positive changes from my testing this week and also a smaller account strategy using a much wider grid.

I think in a round about way I have found what I was hoping to achieve when I started this journey. In my search for a way to grid trade a smaller account and experimentation with some of the other grid EA's at SHF I have gone in a full circle and come back to HGBnG and RnR.

Swapping a 5pip grid for a 50pip grid makes all the different in terms of draw down and activating the MA filter on M1 time frame with RnR has been a revelation. As a result I have ditched the M5 CSS filter on HGBnG and now suggest the same M1 10LWMA as a directional filter.

I am adding the 50pip grid strategy alongside the existing 5pip (which has continued to do very well this week) on my demo account so the progress of each can be compared.

Whereas we see profits daily from the 5pip grid it may be more like weekly with the 50pip. Trading both together will be interesting.

I have decided to keep this thread just for these EA's now and this strategy. If I come up with any other worthwhile EA combinations I will start a TrendRangeCombo2 thread...

Great stuff!

Looks like you tempered the grids in a way that allows even higher lotsizing.

Post 1 updated with corrected Long and Short EA's thanks to NewGuy and set files now comment the orders as Short 5, Short 50, Long 5, Long 50 so if both sets are used on the same account we can see which orders belong to which.

Hopefully this will sort out the issues end of last week.

Cheers!

little information:
"GridMaster RnR + HGBnG.set" has to changed to manage Magic 11,12,13 for 50p grid set - instead of 1,2,3 (default for 5p).

No. I do not use Gridmaster to manage the 50pip grids.. only 5pip. Do feel free to experiment and would need to change the minimum profit setting in Gridmaster then also.

From results today I feel I may have jumped the gun with the 50pip setup. Attached is a breakdown from today. Magic 1,2,3 are the 5pip setup and 11,12,13 the 50pip.

5pip setup doing so well I don't want to dilute this with the 50pip .. I have removed the 50pip setup files from post 1 for now. Will keep working away at these though.

I put the 5pip setup on a live cent account today. It is the best compromise I can think of while I save up to trade this safely on GP. I am adding this to my signature as will be interesting to chart the progress compared with GP demo.

I have also put the demo account on MQL5 as free to copy in case that helps anyone with setup issues etc... https://www.mql5.com/en/signals/214193

Here is a chart for Growth and Drawdown for past 3 weeks....

How about running this strategy on Euro? As it has minimum spread. We use two types of EA, does not need GBPJBP'S volatility. Agree?

Thanks for your demo and test.
