Grid Hero V9.3 submitted for MQL approval - FIFO support


In the interest of US based traders, I've implemented FIFO support in Version 9.3.

Which means Grid Hero will be FIFO compliant and can be used on FIFO broker going forward.

It will come as a simple true/false option in the EA menu, and simply set it to "true" if you are running Grid Hero on a FIFO broker.

This option is set to "false" by default.


If you are not using a FIFO broker, then there is NO NEED to upgrade to this version.

This option is solely for US based traders who are using FIFO broker.

As usual it will take a few days up to a week or so for MQL to approve.

US based traders - stay tuned for this...

Grid Hero Behind The Scene - "In-Sample" & "Out-of-Sample" Development And Testing Methodology


Let me reveal a little background about how Grid Hero was developed :)

Grid Hero's development phase was segregated into 2 phases call the "In-Sample" phase, and the "Out-of-Sample" phase.

The "In-Sample" phase is the primary focus of the EA's development where the EA's trading logic, algorithm, stability, profitability, stagnation, etc, are being developed and tested using a pre-defined test period (usually a few years).

Whereas the "Out-of-Sample" phase is a test period that falls outside of the "In-Sample" period, where the EA is being tested for Robustness, to see if it can exhibit the same performance in a test period that falls outside of the EA's development period.

When I developed Grid Hero, I used a "Reversed Sampling" methodology to define the "In-Sample" and "Out-of-Sample" period:

For In-Sample period: I used the late years of 2012 to 2017 because I prefer to use recent market data in establishing Grid Hero's foundation

For Out-of-Sample period: I used the earlier years of 2004 to 2011 to test Grid Hero's robustness in remaining profitable in a segregated period that falls outside of Grid's development phase.

The above methodology of using recent data as "In-Sample" period while using the early data as "Out-of-Sample" period is call "Reversed Sampling".

As evident in the back tests, Grid Hero is able to maintain its consistency in remaining profitable and stable even in the "Out-of-Sample" test period, which is a good form of robustness check.

And needless to say, all my tests are conducted with Real Tick Data (99% Modelling Quality), Real Variable Spread with Commission, and even with Execution Delay Slippage Simulation, as well as Monte Carlo Simulation Runs of Trade Randomization.

So I hope this little behind the scene story of Grid Hero gives you more insight of how much work and effort have been put into the development of Grid Hero EA. It is not just another EA that was developed out of randomness, but rather an EA that was carefully crafted and created using proper development and testing methodology.

Have a good day traders,
Regards,
Dave

Grid Hero Signals will resume trading on 8 Jan...


This is just to confirm that all my Grid Hero signals will resume trading on 8 Jan as planned.

If you are new to this forum, I have paused all trading activity on my Grid Hero signals since 22 Dec due to the close of year (refer to my earlier post above).

Basically this is to avoid trading in the last week as well as the first week of the year because market tends to behave erratically during this end of year and start of year period.

From 8 Jan onward, Grid Hero will be back in action and you can resume monitoring of my signals.

Have a good day...
Regards,
Dave

Bearish Engulfing pattern traded by Grid Hero today 09:00 hrs GMT+2:


In case you wonder why these trades are not seen on my live signals is because if you remember my announcement, my signals are still being paused and will resume trading on 8 Jan due to the close of year.

However I am still running Grid Hero on one of my random account just to see how it performs during the close of year period, to fulfill my own curiosity :)

As you can see from the screen shot below, the EA opened a number of trades upon detection of the Bearish Engulfing pattern and then automatically closed out all trades with a profit within the next few hours.

And do note that not all brokers will see the same price patterns, because price patterns are sensitive to OHLC prices which might be slightly different between brokers.

Which means while this price pattern is detected on my broker, it might not be detected on your broker due to the slightly different price feeds.

Grid Hero - Keeping the front comment pages warm with useful info...


As much as possible I will try to keep the front few pages of the Comments section warm with useful updates and info.

This is just to make it easier for traders to look for essential info especially those who just bought Grid Hero.

As such I will try to bring forward useful or important posts from the past to the front pages so that users don't need to waste precious time scrolling thru pages and pages of comments which is pretty consuming.

Basically all you need is to refer to the front few pages of comments to get important info that you need to know about Grid Hero.

Alternatively, you can also refer to the Grid Hero FAQ which should address most of your questions about Grid Hero.

And of course, feel free to PM me too if you have any questions, I am usually online most of the time and I will try to respond to you as fast as I can.

Grid Hero - Illustration Of A Basket Closure

This is just a simple picture to illustrate how it looks like on chart when a basket is being closed by Grid Hero EA.

The picture below depicts a group of 4 sell positions being averaged out and closed out as a basket by the EA at one point.

The EA constantly does its averaging work on the fly and closes the whole basket of positions once the time is ripe.

In Grid Hero, we call this P.A.M.A. (Pips Averaging Mathematical Algorithm), and it works wonder :)

Have a great first week of 2018!
Regards,
Dave
