Indeed the level of discussion in this thread makes me double think the professionalism of the whole thing.

'rip-off' is pertinent to the EA, not the profits, don't try to divert the attention..robby boy..
and if your world does not understand plain English, let me spell it out for you..this EA they are selling is just a copy of another EA which you can freely download from the internet..

Why does he believe this is the same EA? Any proofs of that?

Here's the main trading logic of FGT which I had extracted from the ex4/dll files:

if (gi_328 && gi_316 < 1) {
ld_28 = iClose(Symbol(), 0, 2);
ld_36 = iClose(Symbol(), 0, 1);
gd_248 = Bid;
gd_256 = Ask;
if ((!gi_336) && !gi_332) {
gi_300 = gi_316;
if (ld_28 > ld_36) {
gd_304 = f0_14(OP_SELL);
if (gd_304 > 0.0) {
gi_340 = f0_15(1, gd_304, gd_248, Slippage, gd_248, 0, 0, TradeComment + " " + MagicNumber + "-" + gi_300, MagicNumber, 0, HotPink);
if (gi_340 < 0) {
Print(gd_304, "Error: ", GetLastError());
return (0);
}
gd_264 = f0_2();
gi_344 = TRUE;
}
} else {
gd_304 = f0_14(OP_BUY);
if (gd_304 > 0.0) {
gi_340 = f0_15(0, gd_304, gd_256, Slippage, gd_256, 0, 0, TradeComment + " " + MagicNumber + "-" + gi_300, MagicNumber, 0, Lime);
if (gi_340 < 0) {
Print(gd_304, "Error: ", GetLastError());
return (0);
}
gd_272 = f0_7();
gi_344 = TRUE;
}
}
}

And here's the main trading logic of the free EA which I had extracted from the ex4 files:

if (gi_380 && gi_368 < 1) {
l_iclose_16 = iClose(Symbol(), 0, 2);
l_iclose_24 = iClose(Symbol(), 0, 1);
g_bid_292 = Bid;
g_ask_300 = Ask;
if (!gi_388 && !gi_384) {
gi_352 = gi_368;
if (l_iclose_16 > l_iclose_24) {
gd_356 = fGetLots(OP_SELL);
if (gd_356 > 0.0) {
gi_392 = OpenPendingOrder(1, gd_356, g_bid_292, slip, g_bid_292, 0, 0, gs_336 + "-" + gi_352, g_magic_248, 0, HotPink);
if (gi_392 < 0) {
Print(gd_356, "Error: ", GetLastError());
return (0);
}
gd_308 = FindLastBuyPrice();
gi_396 = TRUE;
}
} else {
gd_356 = fGetLots(OP_BUY);
if (gd_356 > 0.0) {
gi_392 = OpenPendingOrder(0, gd_356, g_ask_300, slip, g_ask_300, 0, 0, gs_336 + "-" + gi_352, g_magic_248, 0, Lime);
if (gi_392 < 0) {
Print(gd_356, "Error: ", GetLastError());
return (0);
}
gd_316 = FindLastSellPrice();
gi_396 = TRUE;
}
}
}

For those who understand the programming language Mql4, they would know that the trading logics of these two EAs are identical..that's just partial of what I could paste here due to the size of the codes..the full codes will reveal that FGT & the free EA have 100% identical trading logics and therefore, they are the same EA..

If the need arises, I will upload the FGT EA here to be downloaded (everyone can use it freely, without any limitations as I had removed all restrictions including server authentication dependency & glitches that's associated with that)..and I will also upload a link where this free EA can be downloaded for that matter, a comparison can be made by those who are well verse in Mql4 programming; they can verify and attest to my claims..

Thx, however, I still dont have confirmation as this Grid EA you mentioned seem to really open 2 opposite trades and this one is not really doing that.

I'd just would like to confirm more information about why/when it makes an entry? Or its just a fairly guess which is then compensated by level trading and increasing lots size along the way?

It doesn't open 2 opposite trades immediately after you attached the EA, if that's what you were asking. The EA has a trading logic which looks for the 2 immediate consecutive closed candles to determine the first entry. If the closed price of the previous candle is lower than the closed price of the candle before it, the EA would make a Short entry and vice versa for a Long entry. The second entry onwards are calculated based on the pipsteps you set on the input. If it's 23, then the EA will make an entry every 23 pips when the price goes against the current trade(s). Sometimes when spikes occurs, you may not get exactly 23 pips and steps would be much bigger due to requotes/trade context busy & other nonsense from the broker. 😄

I believe you are not getting 2 opposite trades because you only attached the EA to one chart. You need to attach the EA to 2 charts of the same symbol and on the Expert Common tab you need to set 'Long only' for one chart and 'Short only' for the other chart.

Rgds..

Though I appreciate you sharing the free EA, hopefuly with authors details.

Im not sure I endorse cracking other peoples EA and sharing it , even if you believe its a copy.

Vladrac, the original codes belonged to an anonymous individual who had published it to the internet. Since then, various individuals from the public had made modifications/enhancements to the original codes. I was one of those individuals. There are many other versions of this EA too, it comes in various names too due to this. Therefore, no one can actually claim any rights to this EA. It's freely available on the internet and anyone can modify/enhance it. I'm only against those crooks who are selling an EA which is readily available for everyone to download freely from the internet. Not here in contention for any rights because there are none in the first place. 😄
