Martingale

Here we go...

Hopefully you can get it:

From here...

Variants of martingale are only limited to your mind.

You could wait market to retest high... Order 1 will be closed. You can re short higher while doubling Lotsize from Order 2, so (0.28)
Or close half of Order 2.... and re short by doubling from Order 2 so (0.14) (starting to make some profit)

You could also breakeven quickly Order 2 on the way up... So you can use Order 1 once again as buffer to re renter Long so Order 2 bis (Riskless zone will be reduced as Pip Diff is lower.

You could invent your way to make profit while trading riskless. only by not taking profit from first order.


Enjoy trading

Order 1 closed @1.0566

Entered Order 3

Order 2 closed @ 1.0552

Leaving Order 3... SL adjusted

This is how I made 100% in 3 trades using matingale Up and down, increasing lotsize and trading riskless

Good idea but the problem is always the first order and low problem is spreads, commisions, swap, slippages....

@CrazyTrader

It is nice to make 100% on a $50 deposit and with 3 trades only, even if by Martingale...

But, with all due respect: Is it TRADING or GAMBLING...?

Betting on ""RED"" on online Roulette - using Martingale - can bring in easy 100% within 3 minutes, too...

Same same but really DIFFERENT!
(I will try to explain it for the last time. With all due respect, open your mind and try to figure it out).

If I had done 2%... would you have talked about gambling? Probably not. % gain has nothing to do with the formula only because I made a small desposit to illustrate the formula.

Fisrt of all, the point wasn't to make x%... It's to show there is a variant of martingale with a formula that allows to trade riskless while you can increase lotsize on each trade. This martingale is also a way to cheat broker limitation. (Try to open 0.28 with €50) You can't due to margin level... but you can when you have already a current opened position in opposite way.

The most important is capital preservation. Unfortunately, each single trade you open, you have a risk involved. Based on your capital, if you double your lotsize, your risk is twice more.
With this theory, once you double your position by opening the second order, you are able to trade riskless into a trading zone.
How magic? You have discovered a way to trade RISKLESS. I repeat RISKLESS.
Why 90% lose money... It's just because they are facing a risk to lose on each single trade they open. Please explain How could you blow your account up if it was possible to trade riskless? (Then you would be a really bad trader as you would lose on each single trade you open)

How to acheive the riskless zone???... by a sacrifice on 0rder 1... not closing profit straigh away when you reverse the trade with Order 2

Instead of Casino... I would compare this to Chess. The greatest games ever on chess have been done by sacrifices pieces. You sacrifice pieces, your army is reduced on board but you have created such "MESS" that it smells checkmate in couple of moves.

While you sacrifice Order 1, you create such a "MESS" that what it should be natural from trading (risk) is suddenly gone. You have broken the trading law.

Is it hard to be right on the first trade???... 100% will say no!
So now you know from then how to trade without risk. Make your capital safer and make profit with much higher lotsize.

I will continue to use this martingale...

Enjoy trading... Mess it up ^^

@CrazyTrader

It might work out for a while, but what happens when the leverage does not allow opening an even larger Martingale position to continue with the trading plan?

Anyway, I will be curiously watching how this $50 deposit account will grow over the next months...

P.S. I made similar back-and-forth-back-and-forth type Martingale EAs, but they all failed in backtests mainly because of consuming all available maximum leverage before they could close the basket in profit. With large enough accounts these EAs were OK, but - with such large deposits - the profit % did not justify the risk (i.e. theoretically losing all).

@CrazyTrader Excellent clarification, I have been able to understand perfectly how it works. Thank you.
Success!

The final point ins't to open positions until infinite ...But start to make profit from Order 2, 3 or 4... up to you.

Not sure I will be using it everyday from now... I did to illustrate.

Fair enough

You can set a cut so you don't open trades till infinity. Say you open 6 trades and double each, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 = 63 lots. Think of this as a single 63 lot position. And you can do some risk management accordingly. That way, it is no worse than trading with just one.

Guys,

the very principle of martingale is it is working for couple of first trades - like the 3 trades on @CrazyTrader account.
At the higher level positions are liquidated due to margin call and whole account wiped - as you can see on @CrazyTrader profile.
Hold on, it was deleted. Well I have backup thought :)

As always, you don't miss out the opportunity to be a wanker.

I thought for 2017 you would have grown up a bit... I see, it won't be this year... Shame on you.

There is a big difference between deleted and private.



You think you are unbeatable on forex?

Are you still that proud of this system?

Grow up a bit... little child, if you knew something about Forex you would know that even the best trader in the world have started by blowing accounts... So what the point of your previous post?
I told you already... try not to be that useless, as you care so much about your credibility.

@CrazyTrader

The previously illustrated winning scenario with 1st trade Sell, then 2nd trade Buy was clear. Thanks for the explanation.

But what would have been the plan if the price had moved against the #1 sell trade pushing it into loss immediately...?

This happen 50% of the time.
You take your loss, 10, 20 30 pips max.
You concentrate again... waiting for good potential entry/signal and you restart from Order 1

Have a look at history tab, you will notice that 3 trades haven't trigerred the martingale... because I missed the reveral area. (Order 2) on UsdCad, AudUsd & UsdChf.
And I lost 1 trade on EurUsd (-14 pips)




Let's filter on EurUsd only.
Imagine I lose On first Order, 3 times in row before I can realize martingale up to 3 trades.
I would I lost 3*(€-9.9) So around €-30
=> See how order 3 recover all failed on first order: +19 pips = +€49

Compare this to classical martingale... every time you lose on first trade you increase risk * 2... and whatever happen, you will never create a riskless trading zone.


You guys should open a demo account and try it 10 times... and see yourself.

@CrazyTrader
My point is very simple,

you stated you have zero risk martingale.

You dont. If you had you were already successful trader or even millinare, you are not.

Such thing like zero risk martingale does not exist. Trying to bullshi* people like you try is very poor.

@CrazyTrader

How much is the success of this concept dependent on the mentioned ""waiting for good potential entry/signal""?

Why not making an EA for this strategy and running a long-term backtest to prove the hypothesis?
