Topic: Abnormal grid position opening

Hello everyone,

I found something wrong in Grid Expert Advisor Plus. When I run EA that generated from EAS and set as Grid (Average down) on M5 XAUUSDc symbol of cent trading account that show you attached picture below. 1st position was normally opened follow indicator signal. When price chart moves against the 1st position to grid distance level. 2nd position was opened and open with many position shotly interval as I draw a red square. This is the abnormal situation that I found.

But another account and different broker I run EA on Forex symbol with standard account, no found any problem It's normal.

What happen and any one give the instruction for me to solve this problem.

Thanks.

Hi, for sure it is an abnormal multi opening behavior, all at the same time.
Could you please share the settings ?

Electrons, have you tested the expert in the MetaTrader tester to ensure the Grid distance is correctly set?

Please do it with the exact settings to see what is going on.

Yes, I tested in MetaTrader tester and the last time I have checked my setting this may be its cause of this issue as show my attached below.  i.e. parameter setting between an orange and a red squre are not corresponding. So, my opinion this may be an exactly problem. And what's your opinion.

I wil try to change the correctly parameter and then monitor it. And how is its result I'll inform you later.

Thanks

Re: Abnormal grid position opening

You are absolutely right!

The "Grid maximum distance (pips)" parameter determines the maximum step between the subsequent entries.

A 400-pips-distance is too small for your case. Try something like 10000.
Test it and find the best value for your chosen market in the MetaTrader tester.
