Description:
Forex Gridbot trades the GBP/JPY and USD/JPY in a grid-style strategy. It only trades from 16:00-2:00 GMT in an attempt to avoid fast-moving times of the day. The latest version has a profit-target and max drawdown feature to prevent an account from running away in losses.
Scott's Notes:
July 24th, 2009 - While pure performance doesn't make up 100% of my decision for Optimism Rankings, it does play a large part. Gridbot has absolutely stunk so far, only being active for 6 weeks with a 61% loss. How in the world are we taking such big losses while the FPA demo finishes the week with a small gain? I don't know and I no longer care - this bot just got dropped to 1 star.
Aug 7th, 2009 - After seeing 5 weeks of results now, I am going to guess that the GBP/JPY is NOT the best pair to run this robot on. However, some other pairs like the GBP/USD, EUR/AUD, CHF/JPY, EUR/JPY, USD/CAD, AUD/USD, and GBP/CHF all finished this period of time in profit (combined net +1,813 pips). I am going to leave the optimism rank at 1 star but I'm keeping my eye on this "all pairs" account and after a few more weeks I may pull out some selective pairs and create a new demo with them. We will see.
