Simple Grid

Description

This cBot is very simple but will make you great profit in the long run. Great for trading Forex as an investment. Please only run this cBot in the direction you have positive swap since this cBot will hold each position for very long time.

In this example, IC Markets has positive swap in the short position for EURUSD, therefore, you run this bot in the short position. During the last 1 year's back test, the cBot trippled your account. This bot works on other pairs and other products as well.

I am a software developer, I work for myself, there's no middleman involved. If you have a strategy and would like me to write the code for you. I can offer you the best price in the market. I only write cBot and cTrader indicators. I do not write MT4 and MT5 code.

Hi nice robot. Bactesting it has promising result. the only thing I was worried about was the equity drawdown. Is there a way we can add parameter that will limit the maximum open position at any g iven time in order to lessen equity drawdown or margin calls?

Amazingly effective in back-testing, yet superbly simple in operation. An outstandfiong achievement which has been shared with the community. I am incredibly grateful and will look out for further developments.
