Like every other grid ea.. there will be problems in trending situations.

Unless this EA is any different, it will not survive a year worth of pure automation.


...

Let me edit:

Yes, this EA will and may survive the trending periods if SET for trending periods. A majority of the grid EA's I have worked with work the opposite, and tend to ranging periods. Regardless, this will never be 100% automated due to the fact that whichever the grid is geared for, it will do poorly in the opposite.

Hence - Ranging Grid EA will crash in A trending environment and vice versa.

And I do not believe anyone should be given the credit for creating a "grid" ea. Grid trading has been around for awhile- making it into an EA doesn't make it an original idea.
