Part, can I add a start to this grid once the RSI reaches a given value? for example this one:

using System;
using System.Linq;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

        [Parameter("Source", Group = "RSI")]
        public DataSeries Source { get; set; }

                Open(TradeType.Buy);

                ClosePosition(position);

Thanks for the gift,
I need to know, if I run this cBot live on a chart interval and the I changed the interval to a another chart interval. Would the trading character gets effected to the new interval?
Thank you

DonDemon · 1 year ago

Just BS: You have to check the bot all the time. Opening new buys all the time, even with buys and sells set to off in parameters. Doesn't take long to margin call. Very sad. If the settings would work like they do it would be very good and profitable..

TradeHiTech · 3 years ago

What I need to change in the code for to ensure that when does it touch the TP if I want it to stop opening new positions?

MarathonFX · 3 years ago

Thanks for the helpful sharing. I want to use this robot in a semi-automatic way. How does it stop automatically when taking a profit? Look forward to hearing from the coder

Hi.

V4 with SMA, but:

1. What wrrong ?

Bot now open buy and sell ?!

sell is false ?!

defaultvalue is ignore ?

How fix ?

2. How put parametrs ?

public int MaxOpenBuy { get; set; }

[Parameter("Maximum open Sell position?", Group = "Basic Setup", DefaultValue = 5, MinValue = 0)]

kanapon · 5 years ago

got the answer, the parameter is control buy sell when there are no position.

if we need to control when there are position opened, need to adjust code as below

Old

if (CountOfTradesOfType(TradeType.Buy) > 0)

New

if (CountOfTradesOfType(TradeType.Buy) > 0 && Buy)

kanapon · 5 years ago

Now i have issue with this bot, same as username "9469cd97" post on 2015

i run this bot on VPS and on GBPUSD. start i open buy and sell and then the i have waiting 10 positions on buy so i stop buy by set parameter to only sell. (not buy positions remain, not close them)

anyway system still open buy when pips step is meet condition.

i even try to rerun ctrader and delete instance but issue still persist. so sad.

anyone know how to solve?

Mr4x · 5 years ago

Friends,

I feel like I have almost honed in on something worthy. I have figured that USDJPY and CHFJPY are very highly correlated most of the time, so therefor being long USDJPY and short CHFJPY at the same time can quite often yield good results, the swap is also positive overall this way.

The method I am using so far, with positive returns on both days after 2 days, cannot be backtested as it relies on running 2 instances of this bot on the same account at the same time (which also keeps your equity somewhat in balance). This means it has to be used in a demo account, unless one of you smart cookies can figure out a way to cross-test and share the best results. Here are my settings so far, please try to optimise them for better return / lower drawdown and get back to me:

Chart : USDJPY

Timeframe : 15 min

Buy : Yes

Sell : No

Pipstep : 5

Volume Exponent : 1.1

Average TP : 4

First Volume : 2000 (0.20 LOT)

Max Spread : 2

Account Margin : 40000 US DOLLAR

Leverage : 1/500

---AND---

Chart : CHFJPY

Timeframe : 15 min

Buy : No

Sell : Yes

Pipstep : 5

Volume Exponent : 1.1

Average TP : 4

First Volume : 2000 (0.20 LOT)

Max Spread : 2

Account Margin : 40000 US DOLLAR

Leverage : 1/500

KubilayBoz · 5 years ago

Test starts by 14.05.2019 Time:17:00 (UTC+3)

Chart : EURUSD

Timeframe : 3 min

Buy : Yes

Sell : Yes

Pipstep : 8

Volume Exponent : 1.1

Average TP : 4

First Volume : 10.000 (0.10 LOT)

Max Spread : 3

Account Margin : 10.000 US DOLLAR

Leverage : 1/10

All thank you so much for your contribute to improve this bot Can anyone help me if my account had leverage 1:100 how can i backtest with this leverage value? Thanks

Pb75 · 5 years ago

I download the bot from this page, the answer Is: Is the same version of Smart Grid v3 or this Is the old version? Thanks

Hi guys, this is probably the most mentioned and most popular cBot on cTrader. I have re-written the code and posted the code on github. Since the comments on this page is very long. I also created a new cBot link on ctrader.com, you guys can post any new comment on the new page.

Very special thanks to SaifBD for posting the very original code on to ctrader.com, that made the version 1 of the code

Special thanks to Candeias for re-writing the decompiled code to more human readable code which made the version 2 of the code.

Below are the improvements for the new code.

1. Code has been cleaned up and shortened to half, from over 400 lines to 200 lines. I added some comments in the code for easier understanding on the cBot;

2. Open buy and open sell Boolean was replaced with maximum open buy and sell number. For example, if you predict future is bullish market, set Maximum open sell position to 0;

3. The long-awaited stop loss was added. However, setting up stop loss is not recommended. If you don't need to enable stop loss, set stop loss to a very large number;

4. Setup parameters were grouped, new feature for cTrader 3.5

5. Added close all trade on stop flag to easy back test and forward test cBot. Currently, cTrader backtester does not show equity with open position when cBot stopped. So, this feature is crucial for accurate back test.

6. cTrader does not handle order take profit well, so, instead of setting a take profit value, this version will check open position on each tick and will execute close order then condition met.

7. I only back tested with this cBot, so, the chart drawing function was not tested. Chart drawing code was the original code from version 2.

Hi guys, this is a very good cbot and if properly managed you will mke good profit in the long run, I use to trade with similer EA on MT4 so it was easy for me to modify it to what I was used to. below is how my modified version works:

If Buy is yes, the bot will buy and then place a BuyLimit for the next posible buy if price goes negative and if TP is hit, the BuyLimit is deleted.

I also introduce hedging system to protect account wip out, but once the heding system is triggard, if the TP is hit, all trades will close at small profit and if SL is hit, all trade will close at reasonable loss but account will not wip out. PM:- patways at rocketmail dot com

there are eight functions listed below

------------------------------------------

int <- cnt_16()

double <- D_TD(-)

double <- U_TD(-)

double <- f-tk(-)

long <- It_8(-)

long <- clt(-)

int <- Grd_Ex(-,-)

long <- n_It(-)

------------------------------------

u have'nt used them any where, what r their purpose?

bave_rowe28 · 5 years ago

Hi, Candeias & dfwilkie83

this is a greate bot, i have been using and testing it for more than 6 months now, but is is still show several errors based on the last once you have published

i have some greate ideas that if implemented on this bot it will convert it to a an excllent highly profitable bot but this needs a C# skill which i don't have, are you into discussing this project ?

@dfwilkie83 Did you manage to fix that one error on the end of the code?

Rog2548 · 5 years ago

Anyone using this successfully for a while? If so, how do you prevent the massive drawdowns?

It trades great for a little while after backtesting and then activating it, but once it hits the trend the wrong way it wipes out the account.

If anyone has a way to prevent this, please share or let me know I can pay for a modification to the bot.

How to limit Order Buy Or Sell

Thank you

dfwilkie83 · 6 years ago

[saka.nakhonsri]

change volume exponent to suit increase in volume you want ( in your case it looks like 2 )

i have found 1.1 to be steady , even a little change to 1.2 can have a dramatic change at certain time frames

how to make Smart Grid cBot to be able to open (in case of volume traded) new positions every 1k ... 1k ...2k....4k....8k...16k....32k....64k........xxk when cBot is increasing sell or buy side?

Thank you

zedodia · 6 years ago

Great work. I was wondering if there was any way to eliminate the losses. bot makes great profit but also losses great profit too. can more parameters be set to use with optimization?

Great little bot you made there. Since the update theres a few errors on build. Also I find that it always buys and sell regardless of selection.

Added this to define direction of trades using SMA crossing:

protected override void OnTick()
        {
            _SMA_slow = Indicators.SimpleMovingAverage(Source_SMA, 200);
            _SMA_Fast = Indicators.SimpleMovingAverage(Source_SMA, 50);

            if (_SMA_slow.Result.LastValue > _SMA_Fast.Result.LastValue && _SMA_slow.Result.LastValue > Symbol.Bid)
            {
                Buy = false;
                Sell = true;
// ChartObjects.DrawText("Sell", ("Vender"), StaticPosition.TopLeft, Colors.AliceBlue);
            }
            if (_SMA_slow.Result.LastValue < _SMA_Fast.Result.LastValue && _SMA_slow.Result.LastValue < Symbol.Ask)
            {
                Buy = true;
                Sell = false;
// ChartObjects.DrawText("buy", ("Comprar"), StaticPosition.TopLeft, Colors.AliceBlue);

louwmanlukas · 6 years ago

I am trying the code with the 15min timeframe. But the things with this bot is that it has to know when to stop adding more positions to a losing position. The idea is very good. But it has to know when the 15min trendline is broken and it has to be able to close the losing positions and start again opening positions in the new trend.

Every week there are some pairs that a gaining or extending very much pips. And if the bot is trading that pair you can have very huge losses. So: if you are able to create a way to make it a little bit smarter it is a very good code.

amantalpur007@gmail.com · 7 years ago

it would be much better if somebody paste the whole coding with stop loss included in it. i've tried to add stop loss code but it is not working for me, unfortunately. please paste the whole script of coding. thanks

i hope, someone will do it. :)

amantalpur007@gmail.com · 7 years ago

hey, somebody please tell me how to set STOP LOSS in this bot. so that i dont have to set it manually every time there's new trade. i'm not good in coding. pls help me out. thanks

jprgabuya@gmail.com · 7 years ago

To the one who created this bot, thanks a lot! I am currently making real money using this bot. I only trade in one direction, either buy or sell.... I am currently trading 1k volume only with ~ 40 USD per day. Sure to make you smile every morning! :)

Now, I am starting to build up my equity to be able to trade higher volumes.

ctid258440 · 7 years ago

This cbot has a fundemental flaw in it. it will keep adding losing positions in a trending market even with a stop loss it does not change how the bot works it will contine to do the same thing so the stop loss has no effect on capital preservation. That is why it has crazy drawdowns which will lead to a margin call. we all know that the markets will go into a hard trend at some point. this bot will clean out your account in those times.

tomula@volny.cz · 7 years ago

Dont try to use stop loss on this grid bot. That strategy then totally loses half of its sense and purpose, just use your account size as your stop loss, decide on some basic capital which can hold reasonable amounts of pips for your parameter set and then withdraw any extra money from your account regularly.

jaredthirsk · 7 years ago

This bot looks incredibly dangerous if you don't know what you're doing (but then I guess all of forex is if you don't know.) It's sad to see someone lost their account here.

Looks like a martingale style keep increasing risk until you win, but if you keep risking until you run out of equity, you are doomed.

alinacarstoiu · 7 years ago

Hi. Could someone create an updated version of this, with the sugestions people shared above? Probably not everyone knows how to encode or update by itself. Or eventually someone could teach? Thanks.

Hi I been trying this bot with my live acc. Started with $10000 since march 2016. My net profit atm is around $1800. Not bad. Worth drawdown is around $800-900. Currently the drawdown is $80. I am not saying this will work for sure with everyone. Trading on EURUSD 1D.

ctid241089 · 7 years ago

Kind of love this robot bus as users before have said it have its flaws.

Ive also added a stoploss but without any success.

Have anyone tried to add maximum number of trades in any direction?

And this pip step feature... will it close a position after like xx candles in a 15 minutes chart? or how does that work?

ste_2019 · 7 years ago

@zilva

@gizmotn76

You can help me? I would like to change it yet. I would like to submit a maximum number of trades for direction (for example 10 to buy and 10 per sell) and maybe every time the logarithm by a new buy / sell signal this to run (perhaps with a larger volume) and it is closed to further loss.

I do not know if this will work better I would try and hear other opinions or ideas.

Thanks very much to everyone

PS. is it possible to change the volumes in lots instead of money so as to try this algorithm also about indexes?

Leonardo4 · 7 years ago

I give first a quick option. I added a Stop Loss. http://gigapeta.com/dl/6562936a98dfba

Leonardo4 · 7 years ago

This is a great robot, but there are drawbacks. When he loses a strong trend. I am a C # programmer and try to modify it (add StopLoss and trend indicators stochastic, MACD Crossover). What do you think, if my attempt to be successful, I have the right to put it here without the approval of the author?

Trygve93 · 8 years ago

I must say. it seems there has been a system fault causing this loss. is there any way of getting some of the money back?

thanks

Trygve93 · 8 years ago

hello.

I've been using smartgrid for some months now, and today 12000 dollars were lost, due to an immense decline as to the value of eur/zar.. I've been having stoploss all the time but today something did not quite go the way it should have. I am in a horrible shcock, and is right now trying to make some sence of this. Is there any way you could help me minimise the risk of this occuring once more?

I've been frightened from continuing and I would like som support as how to procede.

many thanks.

Madis · 8 years ago

Bot does not work correctly. I have set parameters to sell only, but bot still opens buy positions :(

cfuorvito · 8 years ago

Hi [SaifBD] . Great cbot, I agree with others though about the equity drawdown. I'm having trouble adding the stoploss to the code, calgo keeps giving back error readings. Is there a possibility you or somebody else could post the whole Smart Grid code with the stop loss included? It would be much appriciated.

Many thanks.

freestuffenterprise · 8 years ago

Good day, is this Cbot valid or still works on Ctrader version 1.35.64939?

hedgehog · 8 years ago

Hello everybody,

while I tested this cBot I get better result using Onbar method of optimalization... But cAlgo gave me an attention - something like this robot is programmed for OnTick. So my question is it possible to change parameters to OnBar?And which must be changed? Thanks

Put this at the top

Copy below section and paste whole section, or simply add StopLoss after Label.

        {
            var returnResult = 0;
            if (volumeToUse > 0)
            {
                var result = ExecuteMarketOrder(tradeType, Symbol, volumeToUse, Label, StopLoss, 0, 0, "smart_grid");

                if (result.IsSuccessful)
                {
                    Print(tradeType, "Opened at: ", result.Position.EntryPrice, result.Position.StopLoss);
                    returnResult = 1;

I can't seem to get any working stop loss. I am not a coder but have researched every possible solution with no results. I love this code and would like to use it with minimum drawdown. If anyone is willing to help I would greatly appreciate it.

TraderML · 8 years ago

Hello,

i think, this is a very good cbot, but can someone help me to add a "Stop Loss"

i'm not a programmer, so i have no idea to do this (i've tried it - but with no results)

thx a lot !

Nobody · 8 years ago

Hi Guys,

does someone has good results with this bot ? if yes on wich symbol and with which paramaters values ?

i you could publish results of backtesting or myfxbook perf it would be nice !

Thanks a lot and have good trades ;)

jan-vdh · 8 years ago

Hey man this thing is working great, but some equity drawdowns are just too hard!

I had a maximum equity drawdown of 110% so i would be in a complete loss. What can we do against that?

mariam14 · 8 years ago

@gizmotn76

Thanks man, great job !

it's easy now to edit the cbot

gizmotn76 · 8 years ago

From the best I can tell this codebase is based on some type of mt4 ea that was decompiled which made it difficult to read and follow. I was looking to do some modifications to the code so before I started I decided to clean things up so I could see what was going on. I am posting the results (hopefully) the logic should be the same as the original but a bit easier to read. Note, backtest this bot as it like most grid based bots can get into a catastrophic equity drain if the underlying starts to trend hard.

@SaifBD

This algo is amazing but the only problem is, is that with a smaller starting capital, the amount of trades for a certain lot size will decrease dramatically compared to the same lot size with a higher starting capital. Could you please fix this some how, as I don't know anything about coding. Or if you could reply and I'll give you my e-mail address so we can talk.

Thankyou

chiripacha · 8 years ago

would it make sense to have "max. trades"? on my demo runnung smart grid ihave now 17 positions!

could i copy a line with max trades from another bot and put it into smart grid?

mariam14 · 8 years ago

That's great ..

do you have a one for the metatrader ?

zilva · 8 years ago

@ Relax...

it is possible, just code what you want to do in onBar() instead of onTick().

@8051361

In easy Words.... It calculate all positions in one Direction to compensate Profit and Loss, then just added Take Profit.

@ Piratetunes, @ Conno123

Just ad a Stoploss in ExecuteMarketOrder (TradeType, Symbol, Volume, Label, STOPLOSS, TakeProfit, Marketrange, Comment)

Has anyone got a working stop loss feature?

Could they possibly share the code?

I have built with a stoploss code, but it does not actually set the stop loss.

Thanks

One word Awesome!

I am new to cBots and dont have a programmers brain :(. Wondering if you could explain the Take Profit calculation I am not able to figure out the logic.

If its not too much trouble.

Thanks.

RelaX · 8 years ago

OK, thank you for your point of view. I will double test that on demo acc.

Just one more question...Is it possibile to change code to check conditions by set timeframe instead of checking by each tick? I mean that when I am using 1m timeframe I want code to be checked after each 1m candle. If cBot conditions are met at the beginning of 1m candle (pipstep distance and maxspread) ,then he should open next position, if not then wait till next 1m candle and check again...Is such change possible?

Thank you once more,

RelaX

zilva · 8 years ago

Yes, in the description is written one trade per bar.

For me is it still not necessary to open only one trade per bar, so i don't search for the Code to do that.

By the way, nice to help you ;)

RelaX · 8 years ago

@ Zilva

Thank you very much for ammendments in code. After adding new parameter and changes in Method n_lt(TradeType ca_8) cBOT is working like I wanted.

There is one more case to figure out in cBOT. I notice the same what @Cannon123 wrote that cBOT is executing more then 1 trade per bar. In cBOT description there is written that cBOT contains code which should limit drawdown by adding only one trade per bar. It is not working correctly. I also check that with oryginal code and the same happen.

Even if I am using 1m timeframe and PipStep =10 and there is big move on the market during market data release cBOT is opening more then 1 position in 1 minute bar if the price movement is exceeding PipStep paramether during 1m candle drawing. I would like to make changes which will limit that risk and create new order at the beggining of next 1m bar instead of opening somewhere in the middle of bar. So if the price movement is higher then PipStep paramether during 1m candle drawing cBOT should open position at the begining of next bar. I think that cBOT conditions should be validate on bar instead of on tick but when newly created position is added, TP modifications should be created immediately on tick.

Is that possibile? Can you assist with such changes as well?

Cheers,

@ Conno123.

Okay, just found the Error.

replace this:

long ld_4 = Symbol.NormalizeVolume(gi_c + VolumeStep);

with this:

long ld_4 = Symbol.NormalizeVolume(gi_c + (VolumeStep * ic_g));

Is there anyone that could code a multiplier to the pip step parameter? I would appreciate this with cash thankyou.

zilva · 8 years ago

@ Relax

Set New Parameter:

[Parameter("Volume Step", DefaultValue = 1000, MinValue = 1000, Step = 1000)]
public int VolumeStep { get; set; }

And replace the Method n_lt(TradeType ca_8) with This:

private long n_lt(TradeType ca_8)
        {
            int ic_g = Grd_Ex(ca_8, ca_8);
            long gi_c = lt_8(ca_8);
            long ld_4 = Symbol.NormalizeVolume(gi_c + VolumeStep);
            return (ld_4);
        }

I did not tested this, but seems to be work.

hello SafiiBD,

is it possible to build a filter in this cBot only long -only short and long and short.
plus a stop los possibility.

vitalikifel · 8 years ago

Nice Robot. Works in backtesting pretty good but i really miss a stopp loss. SafiBD can you please add this feature to the cBot?

RelaX · 8 years ago

Does anyone know how to set new parameter in that cBot to be able to open (in case of volume traded) new positions every 1k or 2k or 3k...when cBot is increasing sell or buy side? Let's say that I would like to start from 1k and then have next position 2k and 3k and 4k and so on, when I set step volume to 1k. So newly created position is always 1k volume higher then previous one. Next example - when I set first volume and step volume to 2k I would like to have 2k then 4k, 6k, 8k, 10k and so on. Next buy or sell position should be always 2k volume higher then previous one in that example. All other functionality of cBot should stay as it is now. No other changes. Can anyone help with that?

Razor · 8 years ago

Could you add a step exponent multiplier so as to increase the pip step with each position that is added?

RelaX · 8 years ago

@[SaifBD]

Hello,

[SaifBD] is it possible to add Step Volume paramether to your cBot? So if I set First Volume to 1000 and Step Volume to 1000 then cBot should open 1k then 2k then 3k then 4k then 5k and so on...if I set First Volume to 2000 and Step Volume to 2000 then cBot should open 2k then 4k then 6k then 8k and so on...is that possibile? I want cBot to add value seted in Step Volume paramether when opening next position instead of using Volume Exponent paramether. Is that possibile?

For now there is only Volume Exponent paramether which multiplies previous volume when I set it more then 1.0

SaifBD · 8 years ago

@9469cd97

It's not normal. cBot will not open sell position if "Sell" is false. never!

Foss · 8 years ago

This looks good but it does not seem to have a stop loss by default. I've added:

private double pipSize;
private double stopLoss = 3.6;
private double sL;

and then added this to the order method:

if (TrdTp == TradeType.Sell)
            {

                sL = Symbol.Ask + stopLoss * pipSize;
            }

            else if (TrdTp == TradeType.Buy)
            {

                sL = Symbol.Bid - stopLoss * pipSize;

            }

            int cd_8 = 0;
            if (iVol > 0)
            {
                TradeResult result = ExecuteMarketOrder(TrdTp, Symbol, iVol, Label, sL, 0, 0, "smart_grid");

Is this ok or is there a better way to do this?

@SaifBD

Make it more clear. I open two "AUDCAD" pair cBots, one with only "Buy" option and another with only "Sell" option then start both cBots, in the middle of time, I stopped one with "Sell" option and let another keep running, from this moment on, cBot should only open Buy position is that correct? somehow it still open Sell position and that really confuse me.

@SaifBD

Sorry to bother you, but I have an issue need your help.

I using AUDCAD pair to run optimization and parameters shows both "Buy-Yes" and "Sell-Yes", then I run it in Live account with only "Buy-Yes" setting and cAlgo still open Sell position, is that normal?

Thanks a lot.

@zilva try this.

[Parameter("Max Volume", DefaultValue = 10000000, Step = 1000)]
public int MaxVolume { get; set; }

if (ic_8 > MaxVolume)
ic_8 = MaxVolume;

@SaifBD This is IMO the Max tradable Volume of a Symbol.

I mean to set myself the max i want to risk.

P.S. spike.bhv is my old ID.

@spike.bhv

I added that in my cBot. see

long dc_i = Symbol.VolumeMax;

if (ic_8 > dc_i)

ic_8 = dc_i;

I send you a friend request.

The Method is to validate the tradeble Volume (min, max, and steps) of this symbol.

f.e. if exist (i don't know that) a maximum tradevolume for a symbol, this Method set the maximum if you want a higher volume.

Hope you understand what i mean. My English is not very good...

in the method private long fer(long ic_9, int bk_4) he never actuallyuses this variavle what is funny long gd_i = Symbol.VolumeStep;

hi spike do u use any social network like facebook or linkedIn Id like to talk to u

spike.bhv · 8 years ago

One Word: Amazing ;)

I've added some Features:

Volume Maximum (if Volume Exponent >1)

PipStep Maximum (if Volume Maximum ist reached, alternative set Buy / Sell flag = false)

Stop Loss ( not importend, but cTrader will note when Stoploss not set)

Advanced Stopp Loss. I set TP a lttle bit higher then AverageTP. When current price reached TP-1 Pip (for Example) New StopLoss will be set TP - 3 (for Example), wich is = Average TP. The TP will increased by TrailingStep. So if the Curent Price will grow up, the (Trailing) Stop Loss will grow up too.

Sorry for my bad english, I'm German ;)
