Holy Graily Bob 'n Grid

Post by **TraderJoeForex** » Tue Jun 28, 2016 1:39 pm

I thought I would share a set I am now using live on M5 having played around with lots of different options trying to find something that would act as a slight counterbalance to the way that RnR trades since I am also trading this live.

I settled on M5 Trend Arrow only with 10pip stop and limit grid because it is profitable in it's own right and reacts fast enough to a move to do what I need it to reducing overall drawdown on the account.

I actually got the idea from watching the developments on DottyBot thread where M5 with offsetting looks to be very successful so I thought why not try this on M5 HGBnG. In theory HGI trend arrow should be a better indicator than nonlagDot but who knows until we test.

So far on GJ demo this week HGBnG is ahead of DottyBot but will be interesting to see again after a week. I am also testing versions of both with CSS enabled.

Thank you TJ

Nice result!

I looked your setfile and some questions below.

In your setfile, "UseCSS=false".
It should be True?

Your exit strategy is oppose signal only(no SL) ?

Thanks

As i said I am testing versions with CSS but currently see no benefit in the results so it is off in my live set until I can prove any advantage. I use offsetting to take care of losers so no SL required.

.. today CSS on M5 timeframe seems to have filtered out all the losing trades and just taken the winners so I am updating my live set to include this now. It seems worthwhile.

One problem I have though is that the CSS display on chart feedback does not display the CSS values or direction on demo. I have tried reinstalling Empty4 and the EA but the problem remains. Now that I have activated CSS on my Live set file I can see that is working Live.. strangely just not on demo. Anyone else here observed this and/or found the solution?

Your .set without CSS give me an easy 4.33 (DD 3.9%) in the last 24h.

Thank you to share you always good inputs.
I want to share the results of my first live account, I'm a like guy and I started my journey with the HGBn'G.
H1 - 2k account - 1 month results.. I'm sure there are people here better than me to evaluate that performance. In any case:

Hi TJ:
I've stumbled across a fix that helped on DB & here...

Open the MetaEditor & Compile.

Don't know why, but it's worked on filling in Pip Spacing & a couple of other things.
