Volatility based default set

Hi guys,

Rather than having fixed step size, I've been tinkering with the idea of having the steps based on volatility. Specially with the ability to fix the volatility based on the first order, we can have a somewhat flexible, but still controlled grid spacing. The goal is to make the grid reflect somewhat recent price volatility. I've also done the same for the pending order distance.

Furthermore, once we have the max orders placed, i think its beneficial to have the "close any with any" option enabled along with "Allow hedge only on main drawdown %"

So I modified the default set to use a coefficient of the ATR indicator, along with the above mentioned.

Here's the results of 01.01.2018 to 03.20.2023 on OctaFX with $1000 as initial deposit:

Thanks for sharing your results.

I recommend you add a stop loss to the set file before any live trading.. i haven't placed any just for the sake of setting up the idea and brainstorming.

In your set, already have a stop loss value of 160. Is there anything else that we should care about?

I found that the DD will be decreased if the "New deal on the end of the bar only" is enabled.

I immediately tested with that setting when he shared the original set in the opening post. But I did not find it much useful.
