Hi,

Could you share your set file. I use blessings also and playing around w/ settings. I also use ibfx.

So far I am averaging about 30% per month, so I am curious what you have done to your settings! :) Very good work.😄

Hi Gil,

For Obito's other blessing systems he says that he use default setting and sometimes change grid setting to suitable with pair movement range, and play with lot setting to suitable with trading funds. I tried this myself but did not get the >100% per month results wthout EP hit. Did you find some decent settings ?

I guess I am probably using less leverage per account orders etc... If I did it high risk I am averaging about 30% per month with no problems or even higher. But, like you said, hitting EP is going to happen.

I don't use EP or max DD, as I share the whole account.

I limit EURJPY and GBPJPY to BE TRADE @ 5 or more. I have backtested and this reduces drawdown considerably. I have also adjusted grid settings, but it typically blows up under backtest. He seems to be only using 3 pairs which are 3 of the safer pairs in my opinion, however, USDJPY had some problems earlier in the year.

I am happy with 10% per month. I actually have a trading account of > than 100K, but I only invest about 11K in blessings and if it starts to blow up, then I will turn the EA off and get it back to BE on the problem currencies with my other capital. The most I lose is about 1K per currency if they go to 15 orders deep without EP or DD configured.

Other than those settings, those are exactly what I have from base model. :)

(His deposit of 85.00 kind of says it all.) When you have such a small deposit, it will make your return look amazing as long as you don't get knocked out on the way up. :) I deposited 400.00 in mine and my account looks great! But, now that I put in 10K, it doesn't look or grow as fabulously. :)

Yes thats true when we stay working with same lotsize, but in theory if we use mm (Lots grow with balance) and for instance a deposit of lets say 8500 then it should work with the same percentage growth per month and should look as fabulously. :) But the problem is that we probably not want to take such high risk capital if we are not sure enough of the blow-up to happen, and 85 is not such problem to loose.

In stead of your max of 5 levels deep i am currently backtesting 40 levels deep with smaller martingale factor and play with griddistance on 5 minute TF. I agree that limiting the levels reduces the DD but simultaniously i experienced that sometimes it just needs more levels to allow to close sooner on a smaller retracement, but the best setting would probably be somewhere in the middle. I love the smartgrid function which limits the levels as well during trending market.

Although i dont see anyone clearly and openly using and discussing it, i am curious if we cannot make it more safe by using the hedge capability. I was thinking to place the same trades in some way at a negative correlated pair that functions also as hedge, so the DD can be reduced and also somehow take profit on all pairs simultaniously, but it seems a puzzle that needs to be solved first. :)

AccountProfit() should take care of simultaneously closing all pairs in profit...

I have also done the playing with smaller TF's. I think it could be very very profitable. It is a lot of work and my experience was that gbpusd was the safest for such. I had an EA that was running a martingale type deal on 5m and it was great and only had one blow up. It used stops though instead so you didn't always get entered on a fast market.

I will do the same and play with the grid size some more, but I had given up since it always blew up. I didn't think about changing mart factor.

Hedging is interesting, but not sure on how useful. Every time I test it, it doesn't seem to benefit me. I have hedge systems that I have tested and they always end up with substantially lower profit, and I still didn't avoid the blow up. I hope IBFX actually gets to the UK for real and we can hedge with same pair. :)

hello
I just discovered 'Blessing 3' and what I liked right away, it can change almost all variables.
I 'black test' since 1 January 2000 until today and the result is very good.

my settings:
DD = 18%
level: 7

TP 75 and move tp 25

I do not use the 'hedging' the act of putting the DD 18% can do without the hedging.

extern string SetCountArray = 1,2,3,5,8
extern string = GridSetArray 16,34,68,112,168,180
extern string TP_SetArray = 32,68,136,224,336,360

only EUR / USD with H1.

now I'm demo, I'll post my results later.
must have an account € 5,000 and use lots of 0.02.
the money management is very good job ....


sorry for my bad English, I'm French

Wow, interesting, will have to try one of these days.

What does 'TP 75 and move tp 25' mean?

TP is the profitset. Blessing calculates a profit potential based on the number of trades placed. This pourcentage, when multiplied by the profit potential will set the profit trailing stop amount locking in that basket’s profit.

The move tp, is the number of pips to move TP on open trades once a profit trailing stop has been set.

i found in my long back test, that DD 18% with 5000€ deposit and 0.02 lots work fine.

Yes, google 'Blessings 3', go to the forex-tsd link and then chat away on the forum. There are several 'owners', and it is open source.

Good luck!

Hello friends,

I am sorry if I bother you guys with this little request. I am trying to find an EA that is great for a small deposit which is all that I have. I have currently about 250USD in a micro account with the leverage of 1:500. Do you think this Blessings EA is a good EA for me? I have lost 400USD recently and wished that I can recover the money back and perhaps make some money in the future. I hope that you guys can give me some good advice.

Thank you and good luck on your trading.

I wouldn't go near a grid trader with 400.00 unless you are trading nano lots or penny per pip. B3 would work great on 400.00 (NANO) with 1 pair (probably USDJPY or EURUSD or GBPUSD).

Sorry to hear about your loss. Really, your money is best earned by sitting on the side lines, learning how to trade and going from there. EA's are a gamble, but I only use them because I know how to trade.

If you want something where people trade for you, then there is zulutrade or tradency, but they will lose your money just as quickly as an EA.

A great analogy for EA's is that they are like cars. They need tune-ups, oil changes etc...

I spend probably 80 hours weekly looking at my forex charts alone. I suggest you spend some time doing the same, saving your money and then you will make it back! :)
