GRIDMEUPFX - GRID TRADING AT ITS FINEST?

Hello everyone, here is one I saw in my inbox today, it is called Gridmeupfx. The strategy is a grid trader.

Chart: GBP/USD  Timeframe: 15M

"Grid strategy with pending entries based on ATR or static step. A controlled Lot Multiplier can be utilized if desired. Parameters can be optimized to suit your trading style."

Features listed on the website include:

- Auto GMT
- Money management
- Equity protection

- ATR configurations
- Lot Multiplier

- Auto day filter
- Auto news filter

- FIFO compliant
- No Hedging

There are 2 versions a basic version and an enhanced version. The basic version is FREE but will not be updated.


If you like the basic version you may want to give the enhanced version a try. This version is $39.95, or $4.95 for a 1 month trial.

The enhanced version features:
- ATR optimisations
- Additional entry options
- Several grid/step options
- Extra backup news filter
- Reversal strategy added
- Breakout strategy added
- Up to 2x extra profit

Backtests are available on the site, here are the tests. Basic backtest and Enhanced Backtest. There is also a running live account which is not doing very well as of this writing. Check this out

There seems to be a trend in Forex trading with grid trading systems on the Gbp/Usd. You may want to play around with the free basic version, but I would not trade any one of these on a live account. Too risky indeed.
