Smile Hedging

Hi again Adubasu,
In reviewing the GT-S manual, I see I made some mistakes in my previous comment to you. So let's take an example of my hedge of GBP/CHF vs EUR/CHF:
Here are my settings:
Display Level 0
Unlock code (Use the code they gave you when you bought this robot)
Do Trades true
Block negative close true
Allow for spread true
Close all open orders false
Instances 200
This is the range bottom of GBP/CHF 1.5000 - top 2.5000 = 1.0000 / Range 50 = 200
First Instance 1
Trade range 50
Gap between 0
Range start 1.5 This is the bottom of GBP/CHF = 1.5000
Forward end 90 We stop buying here.
Reverse start 110 We start selling here. We don't trade the middle 20.
Shift 0
Trade window 5

Use dynamic grid false We don't use this, so skip this section down to ...

Stop Loss 0
Show take profit true
Delay take profit true
Maximum spread 0.0
Use Equity false
Account balance 0.0
Margin 0.25
Use margin percent true
Balance factor 1000
decimals 2 Assuming your broker uses 2 decimals in lot size.
Slippage 16 Lots of slippage so that we can get out of a trade easily.
Enable error messages true
Enable fast back tests false
Standard balance 1000.0
Standard Marin 5.0
Shadow Currency1 GBPCHF All capitals. No slash mark allowed.
Shadow currency1 Buy true
Shadow currency1 Sell false
Shadowopen1 1.5 Again this is the bottom of the range 1.500
Shadow currency2 EURCHF
Shadow currency2 Buy true
Shadow currency2 Sell false
Shadow open2 1.425 This is the bottom of the EURCHF range.

Currency1 GBPCHF
Currency1 Buy true
Currency1 Sell false
Currency2 EURCHF
Currency 2 Buy true
Currency 2 Sell false
Lots1 0.01 Here we set our lot size, instead of letting the robot calculate it.
Lots2 0.01 Lot size of EURCHF.
Magic number1 100001
Magic number2 200001 Do not change magic numbers, unless necessary.
It would be necessary if you ran this robot on another chart of GBP/CHF or EUR/CHF
Check for half hedge true

Okay, that is it. Except I don't know whether or not a copy needs to be dropped on EUR/CHF as well. So I made another exact copy and dropped it on EUR/CHF.
Use the "Save" command on the robot's properties page to save a copy and the "Load" command to load it onto the second robot. Anyway this is what I am running. I don't have any results yet.
Good luck!
