Summary
Rambutan Capital’s Advanced Grid system can be used with any FX Pair. It has been developed by a team of USD/JPY and EUR/USD analysts, traders and c# coders based in Sydney, Australia.
We use Pepperstone as our broker, and have back tested this strategy on major FX pairs over a 2 year horizon on tick data mode.
Parameters Explained [Recommended Settings for USD/JPY, M1]
Account Parameters
License Key: License Key available on purchase. Back testing will only be performed on Demo accounts
Account Opening Balance: Initial deposit or opening account balance at time of starting cBot [USDJPY: 10,000]
Stop cBot at +Equity Level: cBot will stop running when the account equity position rises by the amount defined in this field. Note that account equity position will be affected by other positions independent from this cBot.
Stop cBot at -Equity Level: cBot will stop running when the account equity position falls by the amount defined in this field. Note that account equity position will be affected by other positions independent from this cBot. Can be used as draw down risk mitigation [USDJPY: -5,000, i.e. 50% account drawdown]
Entry Parameters
Buy: Yes, or No for Long entries [USDJPY: Yes]
Sell: Yes, or No for Short entries [USDJPY: Yes]
Buy Under Price: The bot will only enter Long trades below the price defined. Creates a Cap and Collar of trade opportunities when used. Recommend to use a cap value where the trader believes the currency pair is overvalued [USDJPY: 116]
Sell Over Price: The bot will only enter Short trades below the price defined. Creates a Cap and Collar of trade opportunities when used. Recommend to use a collar value where the trader believes the currency pair is undervalued [USDJPY: 110]
Max Spread Tolerance: The bot will only enter trades within the Spread tolerance defined [USDJPY: 1 pip]
Exit Parameters
Average Target Price: The cBot will automatically modify the average target price of all individual Long (and Short positions) to the target amount [USDJPY: 25 pips]
Stop Loss: The stop loss attached to each Long or Short position. The wider the stop loss, the more plausible and effective the Grid System will be [USDJPY: 1000 pips]
Enable Trailing Stop: Yes, or No for to attach Trailing Stop orders to each Long or Short position [USDJPY: No]
Trailing Stop: The trailing stop amount to be attached if enabled [USDJPY: N/A]
Trailing Start: The trailing start amount to be attached if enabled [USDJPY: N/A]
Volume Parameters
Account Risk (Risk) is defined as the Account Equity amount divided by the Opening Balance. For example, if account equity becomes $12,000 when the Opening Balance parameter set at $10,000, the Risk multiple becomes 1.20. Conversely, as equity positions decrease, the risk multiple decreases below 1.0
First Volume * e(Risk): Defined as the First Volume to use when there are no existing Long or Short entries. First Volume will mathematically exponentially increase by 2.718 multiplied by the Account Risk value. The cBot will conditionally normalize the volume order with ‘Symbol.NormalizeVolume’ to avoid bad volume errors and rejections from your broker. [USDJPY: 15,000]
Volume Multiplier on Step: For each grid step, multiply the trade volume order by a multiple of the volume amount of the preceding order [USDJPY: 1.0]
Max Volume per Trade per Step * Risk: Defined as the maximum Volume to use on each grid step relative to Account Risk [USDJPY: 15,000]
Daily Exponential Moving Average Parameters
EMA (Daily – Fast): The ‘fast’ exponential moving average on a daily frame over X periods. The cBot will enter Long/Short when this daily parameter is either Rising/Falling. This parameter condition applies to all grid orders [USDJPY: 5 periods]
EMA (Daily – Slow): The ‘slow’ exponential moving average on a daily frame over X periods. The cBot will enter Long/Short when this daily parameter is either Rising/Falling. This parameter condition applies to all grid orders [USDJPY: 5 periods]
Grid Parameters
Pip Step in Profit: The Grid feature of this cBot will add to existing Long/Short positions that are in profit to maximum grid distance defined by this parameter. Can be thought of as the Anti-Grid method for adding to winning positions until the average target is reached [USDJPY: 30 pips, i.e. Not used]
Max Positions to Add in Profit: The cBot will add positions to this maximum count value when existing positions are in unrealized gain [USDJPY: 1, i.e. Not used]
Pip Step in Loss: The Grid feature of this cBot will add to existing Long/Short positions that are in loss for each pip step defined by this parameter. This continues for every step to a maximum count value until the average target is reached [USDJPY: 30 pips]
Max Positions to Add in Loss: The cBot will add positions to this maximum count value when existing positions are in unrealized loss [USDJPY: 30]
High Minus Low Parameter
High Minus Low Hurdle Level: The cBot will only execute a first order when the High Minus Low value is above the specified hurdle level. This parameter does not apply to grid step orders. [USDJPY: 0.10]
Parabolic SAR Parameter
The cBot will execute Long/Short when Market Price is Below/Above the main PSAR value. This condition applies the following view;
Prices will eventually rise (i.e. Stop and Reverse) when below PSAR and prices will eventually fall when above PSAR. This view becomes extremely effectively when used in conjunction with a Grid and Cap/Collar system.
PSaR Min AF Step: For the recommend settings and M1 timeframe, a non-sensitive value is recommended [USDJPY: 0.0004]
PSaR Max AF: Use default PSaR max value [USDJPY: 0.2]

high dd. Not good
"this system had been deleted by user" - myfxbook link...
another dud trying to make a few bucks!
After 10 trading days, cBot is up 28.2% in equity. FXBOOK --> https://goo.gl/2YKssP
The large -pips realised loss (and drawdown during the 2 weeks) due to the USDJPY cbot malfunction and stopping on the VPS without us realising. We rebooted the VPS and restarted nonetheless.
Hi, demo does not work. Please advise
