it seems everything is working correctly. Thanks so far.

OK, I will try to be more precise in my descriptions of what I want or the problem is. Thanks, 50pips is working.

Is there also something to detect on what kinde of market EA is going to start (1.2024 or 182.032)?

It would be nice, EA could draw a line that shows the avarage current profit or loss of current open trades. Is that realizable?

I would like the EA to delete text after line has been crossed but this is not working:

"Maybe you want to read the price value from the horizontal line? Or move the line sometimes". Of corse, the test was something to verify EA is getting new line value. Thanks. This is working: https://fxdreema.com/shared/eEk0f3gWd

Unfortunately there is "ones per object", that means Lines will disapear after mt4's restart. But I can life with that for now or do you see a better solution.

But there is an another problem I am looking for an eficient solution. I would like to place lines 50, 60 and 70 pips away form current market at first time when EA starts. Therefor I have to use the adjust field. But there are different markets like 1.23043 and 132.231 for instance. What is an efficient solution to make the "Draw Line" blocks working on all forex markets.

I have tried all variations on this:

https://fxdreema.com/shared/BnDgoCUXd

but it was not working.
When Line has been moved above buy-order price-level, EA have to close order. Could you explain in more detail how that could work, please.

Hi, it seems EA is working fine so far but I have to move some lines on the chart. Is there a way to make the Lines "auto-update". What I mean is after a line has been moved the new value will be updated and EA will use the new one. I would like to avoid to open EA's properties to edit Line value manually. Is there anything to make that?

I need a support and a resistence line. I have chosen both options "yes" on live demo it is working fine but on backtest I have to turn these blocks off otherwise I get a white screen (the lines). Backtest EA then you will see what I mean.

By the way: the line are moveable but is it possible to write the new value (after moved) to back to EA so EA is working with the new value. Are there blocks or any solution.

p.s.
OK I got it. The first option have to be No.

Thanks, grid is working again. Whan I am using same magic number again, EA is adding one lot in addition and on mt4's restart while EA is working and trades are open, EA is also adding one lot each but there is no random behaviour. Ok, it is not perfect but I can live with that for now. Later I have to find a solution for that.

One another thing: your new "Draw Arrow" blocks are drawing lines/objects when "redraw the current object" is "yes" on backtests. The chart is full with lines until I rurn these blocks off. Could you find a solution, please.

regarding to your last posts, the "grid_space_factor" variable should and is always present and up to date when EA is running. If EA is restarted a new calculation will start immediately. Options are always good, they offer the oportunity to adapt something to someone needs. Make the changings optionally then everyone can choose what works best in his strategy and EA.

But we have your last posting. I like this EA and this kind of trading. But there is potential to make it better. That is why I am here :). I try to create a better one. A company I was contacting got the permition from the owner of this free EA to recode EA. But recoding EA by someone else is to expensive for me.

I can follow you what you have written but I don't know how to appy that to my EA. "Super Money Grid" is working, as you call it, in chart modell mode. My EA is using different modes e. g. double sided modell. What about "pips away...". As I have understand you, it is sufficient to create trades in a grid with the following condition:
If ( "pips away..." > X) AND (last trades profit < 0) == buy now. But what about "double sided".

What should I change and what blocks are to use to make EA is running with all modes in a manner "Super Money Grid" is doing?

https://fxdreema.com/shared/2OASwIbWd

I will answere to you postings later (no time at the moment) but look to EA I have attached. I would like to have that behaviour (actually this is necessary).

Yes, my english could be better. Sometimes I am tending to press to much information into one sentence.

EA is still not working. What broker do you have? On FXCM EA seems not to work since reinstallation. What I mean that EA is not working is this behaviour: starting EA -> one buy and sell trade is placed -> market is moving beyond grid space but there are no thurther trades as expected. I have tried the "grid trading very basic" EA (replaced "ones per trade/order" before).

On backtest everything is working. What is the problem on live demo. I have changed my demo broker for verification. But it seems EA is opening ramdomly positions and there are no thurther orders placed after market has moved. I don't know what to do ):.

https://fxdreema.com/shared/3jLy74Bbc

I will verify that when markets are open again. Thanks.

But isn't it possible EA is recognizing his owen trades (magic number, market) and only if there are no trades, EA is opening new trades. Otherwise EA will keep on controlling trades and its loop will keep on running grid? please, make sure EA (loop) is running after mt4s, computers restart and even only EAs restart. The reson is after a while EA is running, he will have manny trades opened in market and against market. Some trades will be in profit some in loss and waiting to come in profit.

For this kind of EA it is very bad he is loosing control/track of his trades. EA always have to keep an eye on his babies and I have to keep an eye on EA :).

Thanks for instructions to solve problems with EA but many of them are not relevant for Grid EAs. But I will try to applying them.

I don't want you to verify strategy but to verify in case you have changed "once per order/trade" block if grid/"For each trade"-loop is working again. usually it takes up to 15 min. Just take EUR/USD -> set "grid denominator" value to 140 (approx. 5 pips grid space). If EA is adding another order after approx. 5 pips you have verified that EAs grid is working correctly otherwiese there is still something wrong.

I don't think the variable is the problem because this is also not working:
https://fxdreema.com/shared/TTE4TGiMc -> "grid_space_factor" is always up to date.
The problem is not a restart but the loop "For each trade" and "pips away..." at all. I did not understand how to use the counter block to fix problem.

Logically everything seem ok. I don't see any problem in this very simple EA. It should buy and sell every few pips what is the core-funktion of my EA. Support is in need.

I have replaced "once per trade/order" block on my current EA but it is still not working (the very basic EA also was not working). Did you verify the very basic EA was working on you account? I don't think the grid space factor or denominator value are the reason for the problem.
To see faster if EA is working you can chose grid-denominator = 100 then you get grid space 3-10 pips and market will hit that level faster. What I do not understand is that everything was working an becktests and on live demo account I was running the basic EA for 3 weeks and the grid was working fine. Only the restart was making the mentioned and already solved problems.

I would like to go on live demo for some time to get more experience with EA and get some inspirations for further developement. Could you fix the problem and verify grid is working, please (maybe the reason is FXCMs last spread change if EA is working on you account).

I still don't what is wrong with the EA but I have found out the problem is not the complexity of the EA. I have reduced EA to a very basic level and it was still not working. https://fxdreema.com/shared/A3iA8pgkc

You don't have to understand and reorgenized EA in my opinion but try to fix the basic EA which is easier to understand. If the basic EA is working I am sure the more complex EA would also do. On backtest erverything is working there are no problems at all. On demo account EA was working since you have changed the "once per trade/order" block. What did you have found out until now?

I have had a similar question a few weeks ago. Of course I can post my solution of an atr_stop_loss. Download EA and backtest it on mt4 then you can see how it is working. Maybe it can help you.

Thank you. On backtesting everything is working fine but on demo the grid is still not working. I hope you can fix it.

The buy side will be mirrored the the sell side. Just look on the buy side. The variable "grid_space_var" is correctly calculated and saved when block 325 is reached. Actually everything was working bevor I changed block "once per trade/order" (it seems). The point is, as I think, how to make sure "grid_space_var" is used in the blocks "Round numbers detector" and "pips away..." after it is calculated and saved. In this case it is irelevant if the initial setting is == 0.

Are blocks in EAs automaticly updated or is replacement necessary?

I did not verify yet (tomorrow at noon maybe) but could that work (block 277/278):

https://fxdreema.com/shared/Ei1CgH91d

Unfortunately the grid is not working. On backtest everything is ok but on demo, appart from the initial orders, there are no further orders when market is moving on. I have reinstalled MT4 but I do not think I have forgot a setting to run EA properly.
https://fxdreema.com/shared/8xhVPdLfc

Then there is another thing: to use "round number detector" it is neccesary to have the value as fractal number, right? To make that sure I have to devide variable by 10000. I have added a formula to the "white point" to make sure the value is correct before used by block. But this is not working. Could you look over block 277/278 (buy side, 2nd area), please.

thanks so far. EA is not adding trades after MT4s restart while EA was running. Thats fine now but if you remove EA and restart it, EA is still adding lots regardless of restarting MT4 or not. If you change magic number, EA starts for the first time correctly with 0.01 lot each but if you remove EA and add it to chart again it starts with 0.02 each and so on. This happens even when computer is restarted.

To fix my further developed EA, name the blocks I have to replace, please.

OK, thanks I will check EA if there is potential to make it faster.

The basic EA I have posted in previouse postings is still valid and it has the same problem like the current one but the basic one is much less complex and I think you could be able to look over much faster.

What do you mean with "use parameters of trades and orders" where and how to use them? The F3 Window is allways empty even on EA running for two weeks. I have understand your writing but I can not verify it. Again please :).
