Gertje: a hedged grid trader

[TehCount]

Awesome additions Steve! Looking forward to the TMA feature especially.

This one looks soooooo promising - that is why I am giving it so much attention.

Having promised positively no updates until next week, there is another in post 1, but this is no biggy and can easily wait.

In the interests of limiting processor use as much as possible, G stops counting the pairs with open trades once it reaches your maximum set in MaxPairsAllowed. If, as I do, you already have more pairs than this open, then the display is wrong even though the code is correct and working.

I added a fix to the display, but so long as you do not think there is something wrong because of the incorrect number of pairs open is displayed incorrectly, the update can wait.

Sounds like A Plan to me.

This raises a good question, too. Anyone from the US either: 1) found a way around the restrictions; 2) found an overseas criminal that will both accept their account and is not a fully signed-up member of the Russian Mafia?

Incidentally, I am thinking of adding to the MM. I think we should automate the profit target.

I am thinking a customisable target of $x per minimum lot size.

Any other ideas?

Hi Steve, all,
Having a lot of trouble with computers this week-end, going to do the safe thing and re-install.
dont know what went wrong!!! please forgive me as i'm going to slow down on the testing for a while. I am busy with some other EA's and will get back to Gertje and Plus when i'm fully re-installed this side. will phase it so not to affect too many test results.

I'm with you Steve, i like this Gertje too thank you again for all the hard work you're putting in to all your EA's, seriously!, i don't know how you keep up.???
Have a great week-end and hope to catch up with all soon,
regards

Yes, I was going to set it up with a GEC controller this week, so, this would be great.

After automating TP, there remains only the SL. Amazing work, Steve.

[DING]

fyi, draft back test 2011 eurusd, disable TMA and only using RSI filter, fix lots size to 0.01 ;

and maybe could try the lots size would have the "Lots Multiplier " parameter,and let separate sell/buy order lot size incremental calculated.

FXDD still offers hedging. I'm not sure how they do it, but I've used plenty of hedging strategies on my live account. I also use FinFX as an overseas broker and they seem to get good ratings. I tend not to blame the brokers for my losses because... well most of them are self inflicted lol.
