ahhh thanks Rene. I didn't receive the original PM but I have now you resent. Perhaps my mailbox was full at the time. I really appreciate this.

What I will do is keep the demo I have running with independent offsetting and setup a new one tonight with offsetting disabled on each of the HGBnG EA's and RnR and use GridMaster for the closing.

We can then compare both side by side. If it looks worthwhile at the end of this week I will setup a new thread over the weekend to invite further thoughts / testing and refinements to this idea since it embodies work from three separate threads.

Here is the result for past two days using GridMaster to offset trades placed by RnR and HGBnG M5. It's a positive result although surprisingly the independently offsetting demo delivered far more. I've written a detailed post in the RnR thread but wanted to post my results here relating to GridMaster in case there is any interest to pursue this further...

Thinking about this last night there is one more thing I am going to try here. Using GridDancer with directional bias alongside RnR on the same account with collective offsetting between the two.

This test has been quite interesting with significantly less draw down than my RnR/HGBnG combo during the 1000pip move on GBPJPY so far this week.

I realized that I can run a much higher lot size safely on Grid dancer as it is not such a trading tart as HGBnG (on M5) so will need to let this run for the rest of the week to get a balanced picture on the equity but for now closed trades looks good. I am just using a 240MA on M1 as the directional guide for GridDancer which seems to be working well.

TJF,

On the directional bias, the Grid Dancer is silent if MA is used. Its is up, down, both or get automatic direction. How did you do it?

I have been following most of your post but find it difficult to understand. I am confused.

You are definitely going somewhere with this. Let me know if I can be of any assistance.

I would like to suggest:

1) Ignore the imbalance mission / jobs.

2) The EAs should be able to "memorise" the LATEST current open and closed profit trades (technically I don't know whether this can be done), for example, EURUSD = buy (LATEST profit position), AUDCHF = sell (LATEST profit position), EURGBP = sell (LATEST profit position), USDJPY = buy (LATEST profit position), etc. For the GridDancer to place orders, it only places buy orders for EURUSD, sell orders for AUDCHF, sell orders for EURGBP, buy orders for USDJPY, etc. but will NOT place any opposite direction of entry orders. Of course, the GridDancer's behaviour of placing orders keeps on changing all the times, all depends on its latest "memory".
