Bring the MARTINGALE to its senses. - page 6

Well, that's just me being overprotective! Now I checked with initial deposit=1000$. The result is the same! I wrote that two martingale, and in addition I have a stop-loss at me = 65 pips! In our test it is clear that the drawdown is small for a martingale. I.e. using this tactic of over siting, there is no loss! Stoploss does not allow to sit it out.

Editing does not work either (IE)

P.S. Editing posts - not working. I have Firefox 2.0.0.14.

And not for the first day.

Is this the resource owner's new policy? I like it in principle, although I'm a fan of editing myself.

2 rid: can't you post the same report with an initial deposit of 1000? The drawdowns (relative) will increase by 50 times.

 
A misprint! (uncorrected) . It wasn't 1000, it was 10000. Now I've set it to 5000. It's taking a long time to run the test. I will post the result in 5 mins.

Under the 3000th deposit, the system does not work any more. Not enough to open all required positions according to the system algorithm (up to 14 positions at a time).

You need to reduce the size of the initial lot.

Yeah, that's the point. The minimum is 0.1. I'm not ready to part with $5K as high-risk capital yet. I'm quite willing to risk only $1K so far, $2K at most.

 

What are the problems? Now I have tried an Expert Advisor on GBP with start lot =0.01 and start deposit 300$ (mt4 DTZ WHC)

Attributable drawdown = $85, net profit since May 5th almost $200 ! With a four-step martingale.

I.e. 4 stop and 4 limit orders are placed at initial calculation of lots. In addition, a signal position (for now - no matter which way) is opened immediately. Max. lot may not exceed =0.1

Of course the system is still raw. But I already feel a good perspective.

 

One more thing. You didn't say the most important thing.... Each group of stop and limit orders are not set on either side of the current price. They are placed on the same side. This is one EA. The opposite EA does the same on the other side of the price. The work of both of them is controlled by a simple algorithm.

What is it? - "To each his own." Good luck to everyone!

 

Hello all!
