Smart-Grid Share Your Settings

Sophia

If you have found some good settings for the Smart-Grid trading system then we ask if you could share them here so other traders can use them, if all users of this system share their settings then everybody will benefit.

How to Share Your cBot Settings?
You need to first save your settings as a text file, it is usually saved with a cBotset extension, once you have this file with your settings just upload the file by using the button in the editor window, zip files are also allowed.

Hello,

I did a backtest and optimization for EURUSD from 1-jan-2021 to 29-dec-2021 with the following results. If you want more net profit adjust Grid Distance and Volume Multiplier but this will increase your Max Equity Drawdown.

@PeterVersteeg#1595 -Hi Peter, as suggested in Sophia header mail above, i would suggest sharing the optimised cbot settings file via a cloud drive as i doubt anyone would type in your settings manually.

PeterVersteeg

Ok thank you I will try that.

When I have time I will explain how I came to those settings but feel free to use them and ask any question. I am new to this but really like to optimize :). I am using 5 pairs now on a small live account.

Greetings,

Peter Versteeg

Trading Hours using Back-test
When you back-test make sure you set the platform UTC to 0 – need help?

How to Increase profit?
If you wish to increase the Net profit just increase the lot size, but this will also increase your drawdown and risk.

Trade Statistics
When you run a back-test you may also want to understand the results, you can do this with the trade statistics window.

Ongoing Optimisation
It would be useful if you learn how to optimise yourself, you can find a video tutorial here.

Recommended Usage
We advise customers to first run a back-test to confirm the results and then to run forward tests on a demo account before attempting to use a live account.

I also recommend that you recalibrate the settings each month as the markets change, you will need to learn how to do this and we have provided all the information to help you, use these settings as a base and run the optimisation on a subset of values, follow the instructions and you will be ok.

Sample Settings

The zipped file below contains various settings for EURUSD, they all provide a Net profit between 19% and 86%, the settings do not produce many trades per year, but it should give you some idea to base these settings on other symbols.

We recommend you adjust the settings to the lowest position size of 0.01 lots

Many thanks, Mike, for this goldmine.

Any chance you can share any recently optimized settings, please?

Mike

I just did above, you can use our optimisation service for any symbol

Hi Mike
I've just download the trial version of the smart-grid and I'm testing your settings. Thanks for that, because with the trial no canned settings were provided, and my first tests were abysmal.
So I looked here and found this thread. Wow now the backtest result looks great.
But I am scratching my head, because you use a grid size of 1 with Max losing position of 1 and 2.
To me that's not grid trading anymore, right? It just opens two positions very close to each other (1pip apart) and trades that, or am I misunderstanding how the logic is with those settings.
Thanks!

This is not a grid system, but a smart grid system, we no longer provide optimised settings, but instead help you optimise your settings, take some time and read the product page, and follow the links to learn optimisation.
