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.

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...

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.

"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).
