Thanks Roman for the hours you've put in here. It confirms my tought that griding has a systemic problem.

Applying the Monte Carlo method for optimizing trading strategies
- www.mql5.com
The idea beyond Monte Carlo method can be described in terms of analogy — one of scientific knowledge methods. Other examples of analogy are Hamilton's optico-mechanical analogy or similar organs in biology. If we have two objects that can be described by the same theory, then the knowledge gained from studying one of them is applicable to...

New article Developing a cross-platform grider EA has been published:
In this article, we will learn how to create Expert Advisors (EAs) working both in MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5. To do this, we are going to develop an EA constructing order grids. Griders are EAs that place several limit orders above the current price and the same number of limit orders below it simultaneously.
Testing the EA
Our EA is ready. Now we should test it and draw conclusions about the trading strategy's performance.
Since our EA works both in MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, we are able to select the terminal version, in which to perform the test. Although the choice is quite obvious here. MetaTrader 5 is considered to be more comprehensible and better.
First, let's perform testing without any optimization. Our EA should not fully depend on the inputs' values when using reasonable values. Let's take:
Inputs' default values remain intact (lot 0.01, step 10 points, 7 orders per grid, take profit $1).
The result is shown below:
