not good, using 1.5% DD protection and small lot size on 50k account big losses, in the backtests rarely see this so doesnt match. Yes I followed guide and only traded Monday - Wed but already in 2 days account has lost. with DD protection SL is just too big but again the backtests looked great with my settings, live very different story

Mine is at 10% DD protection and its going good for now, i think its the drawdown that is too small?
In the 1-minute backtest you can see why: 3 sell positions that it can’t close. In one way, it’s good that it uses the 48-point rule for a grid, but on the other hand, that distance is far too large. It would be great if you could manually set it to trigger already at 30 points, because then the drawdown would never have happened, for example. 95% of the entries are excellent, but when a setup like this appears, it can end badly depending on the risk. The EA is very strong, no doubt, but the protection still needs to be designed better. Just this cut by % of capital is extremely risky.
UPDATE: on my previous comment I want to provide more info to be fairer to developer and potential buyers, if you keep the drawdown protection off or increase the DD % to close trades you most likely would not have got those losses I had. So EA is not bad at all, but just keep an eye on your risk level and DD tolerance
😂😂😂this was a serious bad luck. If you check properly on the live signals, you will notice that on my side there was 3 trades that was added that with the users aren't there. This was due to the power outage that took place by my place, when the power came back after switching on the PC the temporal that the EA stores to keep track of the trades that it is already running in order to perform grid at the right place was lost and resulted in those additional trades which was not at a grid level of the EA and I also made a mistake of attaching it on 3 charts which resulted in 3 trades being opened because it chart was trading independently and I only noticed after those 3 trades have been added. This is possible due to that this EA is developed in a manner of co-existing with other EAs. This was a serious bad luck just after publishing the EA and not forgetting how Gold was unstable these past 2 days. I just witnessed it making a move of 1300 points in a 1min bar in blink of an eye 😂😂😂 but I have complete faith in this EA hence even the live signals I am aggressive on them. I'll continue the live signals to show what this EA is capable of
I bought the EA last sunday The dev recommend me to put it on M1 but I put it on M30 instead(not satisfy with m1 backtest).I have 4 trade with this EA all TP so far. DD is about 3k point. Let see how it perform longterm.

I'm using VPS, attached this EA to only one chart. And I have 5 unclosed trades. So even there is no power outage, the live signal will have a big DD, I think.

This is what I am talking about. If you check the next following trades number 3,4 and 5 that I have marked on this picture, they were performed before the grid level and worse part it opened 3 due to that I forgot that I applied it on 3 more charts so each chart was trading independently. The 4th trade of a Buy in your case it was a normal order. Buy and Sell act independently that's what gives it an advantage. As you can see you don't have these 3 additional trades due to power outage and forgetting that I mistakenly activated those other ones.

Ok, what does that mean for us? But it seems a bit odd to me that the EA takes trades on our side if there’s a power outage on your side?

Awesome. You have a good eye. This EA it performs differently under different timeframes and yes some timeframe are due to be less risky than others. It is best to do a thorough check in order to reach the best choice.

That's the best part, when you have purchased the EA, you have full control over it and what happens on ym side or any other user won't affect your outcome.
