Rollover Scalper version 1.1 release notes Release date: 3 May 2022 What's new:
"use_risk_per_trade" option added to dynamic lot size (as requested by customers). E.g. if you set the "risk per trade in %" parameter to "5" while having 1000$ on account and using "700" safety SL (~7$/0.01 lot), the lot size used will be 0.07 because by having a 49$ SL (7$*7) you indeed risk only 5% of your account.
"grid" option added (as requested by customers). All grid orders have the same SL and the same TP (which can be trailed). If you use the grid, the "Move the entry point with MA?" parameter is ignored and therefore the entry point will remain fixed. P.S. my subjective opinion is that, the EA is good as it was originally thought to be (without grid). Yet, it is useful to have the option to play around with the grid strategy on backtests. All sets I send do NOT use grid.
"Pause trading after a specific big loss?" option added. You can now minimize the drawdown caused by important news like pandemics or wars, news which affect the market for many days but can't be seen in an economic calendar. All you have to do is set the loss at which to pause trading, and the number of days to pause trading. Keep in mind that the loss is per trade is used to trigger the pause, not the drawdown per balance. Once the pause is triggered, you'll see it on the Info panel (if "Show info panel?" parameter is set to true).
StdDev (standard deviation indicator) parameters can now be seen and changed from EA’s settings.
The "Use every tick?" parameter was removed as it was no longer. Since build 1.1, the EA always does checks and calculations each tick during trading hours, and only each 5 minutes when idle (during non-trading hours). The goal is to improve the live trading results by minimizing the effects created by ping, network interrupts, too high CPU usage etc., and by making live trading results more similar to backtesting or other live accounts. In version 1.0 there was sometimes a big difference in trades taken on different live accounts (same set would behave differently). Now it's less likely to happen, and the only reasons for that to happen are not related to the EA (these reasons being slippage, ping, different servers etc.).
Fixed a bug in the MT5 version which wouldn’t close trades after the closing period time (4AM in default sets). The bug was present and could be seen in both live trading and backtesting results, and therefore the backtesting results were showing the real results.
You can find more details on that in the documentation for v.1.1 once I send it to you (in case you bought the EA).
