Smart Grid V3

Thanks for you effor jumycalm , in the code there is bug becuase the exponent volum can not work better it open trade with same lot in same direction 

Guys, any setting can share please?

Can someone please help me, how do I fix the sell only problem

Thank you! :) 

@tgjobscv To fix the buy issue.

When there are no buy trades the FindLowestPositionPrice is zero. The ask is never going to be less than zero.so the first buy trade will never happen

Add an || FindLowestPositionPrice == 0 to add the first buy
Change

// send buy orders

            if (direction == 1)
            {
                if (Math.Round(Symbol.Ask, Symbol.Digits) < Math.Round(FindLowestPositionPrice(TradeType.Buy) - PipStep * Symbol.PipSize, Symbol.Digits) || (FindLowestPositionPrice(TradeType.Buy) == 0 )

Hi

I LOVE this bot. Well done and thank you

However I have a challenge. It seems to not trade JPY pairs unlike version 1. How can I fix this.

Many Thanks

What are your ideas for improving the code after testing - for Sell trend in xauusd, xagusd, majors etc ?

CoreTradingHouse,

A couple more observations too:

First Volume is always 1000, regardless of what number you put in the field.

Volume Exponent isn't accurate, and sometimes places the highest volume trade on starting a new grid even once the grid restarted. Eg: previous grid may get to 12 lots, then grid closes, then new grid starts at 12 lots instead of 0.1.

Just some hopefully helpful observations so far :)

Mr4x

CoreTradingHouse,

I compiled your version of the grid trade and definitely very interesting results. 20% profit over a 3 year period on EURUSD but one thing I noticed is that it only places sell trades? Anyway thought you should know :)

Another idea I have, but my bot-building skills are basic at best, is to incorporate a moving average to smartgrid V3 that can be defined by the user, and have the bot only grid in the direction of the moving average, with an overall take profit that closes all long and short positions when x amount in profit. What do you think?

Mr4x

@jumpycalm working on something new right now!

Added:

• 1 std BB
• 2 std BB
• Awesome oscillator

instead of opening trades, when ist overbought / sold, it places 3 stop orders with 1 day expiration. Then the grid is managed as usual.

Still has to be polished, but it seriously reduces DD. tell me what you think, and suggestions are accepted! :)

@jumpycalm working on something new right now!

Great piece of work, I have been working with this and running multiple tests of the last few weeks, with mixed yet positive results. One thing we are working on adding, but having a little bit of difficulty with, is a balance dependent initial volume addition to the code, i.e. $1,000 = 1000 lots. Does anyone have any existing money management code that we might be able to use?

Kindest Regards,

This bot doesn't seem to add TP, only SL. How does that work?

I would like to thank jumpycalm and all the people who collaborated in the development of this excellent cBot.

I've been using it for a few weeks with satisfactory results. I would like to ask if possible to make new transactions open immediately after the old ones are closed.

Thanks in advance for the help and congratulations again.

@jumpycalm thank you very much! 

Been away for a While, how is it going? if you want, we can work together in future devs!

Best regards

[Parameter("Sell", DefaultValue = false)] public bool Sell { get; set; }

Hi.

V4 with SMA, but:

1. What wrrong ?

[Parameter("Sell", DefaultValue = false)] public bool Sell { get; set; }

Bot now open buy and sell ?!

sell is false ?!

defaultvalue is ignore ?

How fix ?

2. How put parametrs ?

        [Parameter("Maximum open buy position?", Group = "Basic Setup", DefaultValue = 5, MinValue = 0)]
        public int MaxOpenBuy { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Maximum open Sell position?", Group = "Basic Setup", DefaultValue = 5, MinValue = 0)]
        public int MaxOpenSell { get; set; }

hello sir, how to add indicator options in determining the start of execution?
for example, I want to open an order when the SMA indicator shows bullish

Hi Bave,

Post your recommendation in this post or send me an email. I am working on a new bot based on similar concept as this one.

Good Job, looks very interesting, I am working on testing it, I will need to understand the reacl mechanism behind how it works now.

I am very much into this Cbot as I have been using SmartGrid2 for over 6 months on my life account and it has given great results ( doubled my investment in 6 months), even I have done some on my own brain storming and study of how the bot can be upgraded for better results and better optimization based on different users and investment amounts. 

I am wondering if you would be open to discuss the upgrade I have worked on, I have worked them out in excel sheets since I am not a programmer.

Thank you jamestryke, I believe what you are trying to achieve is called reverse Martingale, I actually tried your method before I posted the code to ctrader.com, but that method did not help on reducing drawdown, on the contrary, it introduced more drawdown. I already have a more advanced version compare to this one and I will post it on ctrader.com as soon as cTrader 3.5 is rolled out on majority brokers. As of this time, I tried many brokers, only Trader’s Way upgraded to 3.5. So, the majority brokers will roll out 3.5 very soon. My guess is the next couple of weeks.

Very good work there. Been testing for a few days and can't wait for 3.5 to come live. Is it possible to code something along the lines of changing martingale direction, so instead of buy/buy/buy/buy every 20pips, you would buy/sell/buy/sell every 20pips or something like that?

For example, buy 0.01 lot @1.1130 > goes down to 1.1110 - instead of another buy 0.02 lot @1.1110, the bot sells 0.02 lot @1.1110. This may hopefully reduce the drawdown if the market goes into a trending market. 

Also, for those saying error or the bot isn't working, this cbot is only working on Ctrader 3.5 which is currently in beta, just download it from ctrader (make sure it's the beta version). You (probably) would not get this from your broker as it's not live yet.

this bot is not working :(
