Hello Ivan,
And thank you for your thoughtful questions.
I see your point regarding the reduction of the 25% DD, though the funny thing is that doing so, can also reduce the profits of the EA buy cutting the “deep” trades off too early, which would make more losses. You might be looking for a good scalping robot that’s in and out of the trades quickly. Perhaps this robot could do that, with no grid and pick the right strategy from it’s 6 options…
… That would be an interesting experiment to pursue also. Grid vs No grid on each strategy.
Perhaps another way to decrease DD would be to double Grid size from 50 to 100, meaning half as many trades. But still allowing the EA to work its magic.
Another possibility would be pick only the top performers from my fxblue history. At this time, since the restart 22/4/2024, the silver chart has a ~43 profit factor.
If you only used 5 or 6 charts, instead of 21, the DD would be less.
I hope this helps.
Let me know how you go and your thoughts on that Ivan.
Happy trading
Matt
