Automated pyramid trading system for shares and forex

Hi, I open this thread to talk about the pyramidal system. I already have one armed, but it still needs improvements. I am not a programmer, so any help is welcome. The first thing that can be improved is to add some loops. Use this system at your own risk. My plan is: Find US shares below 21 dollars/euros. When the price rises above the low level of the stochastic, the first batch of 0.01 is purchased. If the price drops, another lot of 0.01 is purchased. If the price rises above the purchase price + spread, the trailing stop is activated. Definitions: lowlevel: when the stochastic crosses level 10 a lot is purchased. maxprice: nothing will be purchased above this price (maximum = price + spread

To those who say that this doesn�t work because it doesn�t have stop Loss I say something clear: they have no idea what it�s like to manage a strategy with network logic. Stop Loss is not mandatory if it�s compensated with exposure management, defined ranges and staggered entries. Of course, if you just know how to put a trade and cross your fingers, this isn�t for you. Yes, you can burn an account if you use it wrong, like any EA, indicator or system in the world. But for that it is tested and adjusted. This EA is not made for you to throw it and go to sleep dreaming about Lambos. It�s thought to make you understand the price dynamics and control it as a tool, not as magic.

Thanks to those who continue to share results and improve code. This would not be possible without an active and collaborative community. Seeing how the EA adapts to different temporalities and assets makes me think that it has a lot of potential if it continues to polish. I totally agree that it is missing to add key parameters such as limit of simultaneous operations and execution time range. Not everyone can stand in front of the chart all day. So, if someone with programming knowledge is encouraged, those are the next logical steps.

To those who complain that the EA only buys: yes, it does, because that was the initial intention, to look for accumulation points in support zones. Not all systems have to be bidirectional. Sometimes, less is more. That doesn�t mean that you can�t adapt. But if you�re going to modify it to make sales, keep in mind that logic changes. It�s not about copying and pasting code blocks, but understanding why it was designed like this and how the price behaves in each type of operation.

I understand the concern about the number of operations you can open in a short period. It�s something you definitely need to tune in. The steplevel parameter and drop_divideur are your best allies to control that. Don�t expect this to work as an EA of a large firm with millions invested in development. It�s a collaborative prototype. If you expect something polished and perfect, pay for a private system. Here we�re building something together, from scratch.

Most who lose with this EA do it out of impatience. They throw it without understanding anything, without trying it in demo, without backtest, and then come here to cry that �it doesn�t work.� The least you can do is understand what you�re using. If you�re going to get into trading with a pyramid system without knowing how the price reacts, how it behaves in trend and how to protect your account, better or use it. This isn�t for casino players. It�s for traders with heads.

I saw several comments asking about the use in D1, M5, H1... The reality is that it works in all the temporalities if you know how to adjust it. Of course in M1 the risk is triggered if you don�t have margin control and lotage. If you�re a beginner, stay on H1 or D1, define your levels well and narrow down the trading range. The system has scope to adapt, but if you force it to operate where it shouldn�t, don�t expect miracles. The tool is good, but you�re the one who makes the decisions.

I'm surprised how many people try this without knowing what a mobile average is. Really, do you really start to use an EA without understanding what the indicator that activates it does? It's like driving without knowing what the brake pedal does. Please read a little. Just knowing what an MA is, a stochastic and how the spread is measured, you'll already have a better idea of what to adjust. This isn't black magic or quantum physics, but it does require more than clicking and waiting.

I appreciate the technical comments of those who do take the time to test and contribute ideas. That�s what gives value to this thread. EA has a lot of potential, but it needs a team behind it to take it to the next level. The idea is not to have an EA that does everything for you, but one that you can adapt to your style. Some use it for actions, others for forex, and others have even turned it into a scalping machine. That�s the power of an open source: everyone adapts it to their own way.

I have seen that several use drop_divideur incorrectly. This parameter is not to see "how many pips under purchase", but to manage the size of the lots when climbing. If you put it too low, you stick with huge lots without realizing it. My recommendation is that you don't go down from 0.0008 until you have a lot of experience. And if you don't understand what you're doing, always use micro lots. Don't think yourself smarter than the market. This system rewards patience, not arrogance.

For those who ask how to use it in actions, the answer is simple: analyze the spread well, look for assets with little swap and moderate volatility. This system is not for chicharros that jump 10% in an hour, because it breaks your structure. Actions like Zynga or Nokia are ideal because they have more predictable movements. If you go to Tesla or Amazon with this EA and without control, you go straight to disaster. As I always say: choose your weapon according to the enemy. Not everything works for everything.

Some write to me asking if this EA serves to get rich fast. Already with that question you answer yourself only: no, it does not work. If you are looking for a magic formula, better get out of this thread, this is not for you. This system is for those who understand that trading is to build with patience, with cold head, with tests and adjustments. If you are not willing to spend hours retesting, nor dream that this will give you results. Discipline commands.

I'm seeing that some people only use the system in demo and they already discard it because "it didn't pay them off." How many times did you test it? How many settings did you test it? Did you use stocks or forex? What spread did you have? If you don't know how to answer that, then you're not using it well. The EA is not a crystal ball. It's a tool that reacts to the price according to your conditions. If you don't do your part, don't expect the code to do magic.

I loved to read the summary of one of you where he explained how he adapted the system to scalping with a one-minute time. It�s crazy, but if you control the risk, it can work. That�s the idea of this thread: sharing different approaches. For my part, I prefer to use it on H1 or D1, with limited entries and clear margins. But I love that it is given other uses. As long as it is done head-on, all ideas add up. Keep sharing your experiences, that we all learn from that.

I received a private message telling me that �this EA is too dangerous.� Of course it is, if you use it without control. It�s like a chainsaw: useful if you know how to handle it, deadly if you have no idea. That�s why I always insist on practicing demo, adjusting limits, and keeping in mind that there�s no stop the automatics if you don�t set it up. This isn�t plug-and-play. It�s a base to build your system, not a black box that makes you millionaire just by playing it.

Those who criticize that the system opens many commands in a row are ignoring that that can be adjusted. If you don�t mind reading the code or modifying three parameters, you can control all behavior with steplevel, maxprice, lowprice and tradesallowed. Do you prefer that the EA make decisions for you without giving you options? Then look for another. Here�s the good thing that you control everything. Of course, that means understanding what you do. And that�s where many fail: they want results effortlessly.

Lately I see many new users asking the same thing over and over again. Please read the first post. There�s everything detailed. It doesn�t make sense to repeat if you don�t take even the time to read. This is not a technical support group or an app with customer support. It�s a community. If you want to be taken seriously, it shows that you�ve read, tried and understood at least the basics. That�s how you build a serious community.

I am impressed with those who managed to adapt the system to operate only in certain time ranges. That closeall function and closing schedule schedule is brilliant if you know how to take advantage of it. It allows you to avoid volatile sessions such as American or Asian opening. I personally use it to avoid having open orders during important news. You have to be smart with the tools you have. If you cannot control the market, at least control when you participate in it.

A warning for those who are thinking about putting this EA in real without having thoroughly tested it: they are playing with fire. A bad setup and you are left out before you can say �backtest�. Be sure to understand how it behaves in different market conditions. This is not a toy, it is a serious tool. If you don�t give it the respect it deserves, the market will take care to give you a lesson that you won�t forget.

Some ask me why I don�t put a graphical interface for the EA. The answer is simple: because this is not a commercial product, it�s an open project. If any coder is encouraged to put a GUI in it, welcome, but it�s not the priority now. The priority is to make it robust, efficient and adaptable. I prefer it work well than it looks nice. There will be time to decorate it if the structure is solid. For now, the important thing is that each parameter is clear and works as it should.
