Martingale problem

Tolotra Ny 2021.08.10 11:38

I want to learn and add a martingal with my code but it's not working well

The first TP should move(but not close trade at especific value as my code now),

The lot exponent should be fixed(eg:1.4)

My code and the function I used

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| OnTick function                                                  |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnTick()
  {
    Comment("Balance: ",AccountBalance(),"\n\nAccount Equity: ",AccountEquity());
//--- check for history and trading
   if(Bars<100 || IsTradeAllowed()==false)
      return;
//--- calculate open orders by current symbol
//--- calculate open orders by current symbol
   if(TrailingS==true){
   if(CalculateCurrentOrders1(Symbol())==0) {CheckForOpen1();
    TrP();}
    }
   if(TrailingS==false){
   if(CalculateCurrentOrders1(Symbol())==0) {CheckForOpen1();}
    }
    Martingal();
 
//---
  }

void CheckForOpen1()
  {
int limit=1;   
for(int i=1;i<=limit;i++){
bool BullishCandle= Close[1]-Open[1]>0;

My problem is how to calculate the value of the TP when it moves(after taking a recovering lot)

Don't waste your time with that ... it's not a strategy ... it's a casino

Add more position every Pipstep

My code and the function I used

Have you heard about Threshold Martingale? I've got a code from one of the ebooks in a thread here... https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/212643. It works fine with me.

Another type of Martingale is called Tie-down Method. I don't know yet where to look for it. In case you find one please let me know.

Thanks so much, it's fixed(I got the code from spiderEA)
