Hi Jerry,

By grid weaving do you mean dynamic grid? (I am still before this stage).

As to hedging did you notice that the hedge

works on completely different currency

pairs? When you tried it with GBP/CHF and EUR/CHF it did not work that well because they probably moved the same directions. When you hedge

AUD/USD and EUR/CHF hedge

shows it strength...

hello does anybody use gt-shadow with the broker

MIG?

I use it on Activtrades and it works good but there's no way to make it works on MIG.
Does anybody know why?
Thanks

p.s.
MIG is 4 digit

Check DoTrades for starters...

I cannot imagine broker

specific settings that could not allow for GT-Shadow to work. It's a bit different with scalper EAs (like FAPT) that are spread

dependent.

There is one more reason for GT-Shadow may not work. I guess that MIG is not a micro account, so the smallest trade size is probably 0.1, if your BalanceFactor is 2000, then you would need at least $20000 on your account to start trading...

thanks pd

do trade=true and changed the balance factor from 3500.0 to 35000.0 but nothing happens.
changed decimals from 2 to 1 as well but no success. The face of the expert is always smiling and it makes me sick grrrr

p.s.
I have 3.09 version

If you changed balance factor from 3500 to 35000 you will need 350000 to start trading...

GT-Shadow with AUD/NZD needs 2000 per each microlot -- 0,01.

So if your account balance is 20000 and you set BF to 2000 it should be able to trade 10 x 0,01 = 0,1. If your account balance is lower than 20000 it is a bit risky to trade with GT-Shadow/Robominer, but it is possible by setting BF to a value lower than 2000...

Now you got me... Smiley and no trades on 100000 account looks quite strange. What is the minimum lot that can be traded with MIG?

I have set a demo account with FXCM with 100000 and GT-Shadow worked on it without any additional tinkering after loading the GT-Shadow robominer like settings...

I know it's very strange the minimum lot with MIG is 0,1 as you said before

Have a look at MT4 journal. You can also set EnableErrorMessages to True and see what the log shows.
