What's the best way to trade Martingale Forex Trading in Experienced Traders Dec 05, 2014 at 11:50

Another item to consider is that if your system (that uses a martingale) is profiting enough that you can make withdrawals from the account that exceed the original account balance. Should the martingale wipe out your account at some point during the year, you can always re-fund the account to continue your income stream. If you are withdrawing more than you are depositing, it is still profitable.

Yes in BT you got 4 times maximum allowed numbers of position.What would you do it this last resort fail and position close with loss?That's the risk of using a martingale. What if...

Agreed. I just threw up a back test I did without taking the time to set up a 90% quality test. But, understand that I do not wish to hijack this thread with my strategy, only to show what a martingale is capable of.

On micro lots this would only take an initial investment of $200.00 but I had to test on FXCM at 50:1 leverage to get the 5-years of back test data.

In the attachment is an example of a system that uses the Martingale on a 5 year back test. I use this myself. I have it limited to 11 iterations starting at .01 and doubling up to 10.24 micro lots using the broker above.During the 5 years, it only used the 10.24 lot size on 4 occasions and recovered each time.http://www.myfxbook.com/files/ibthescottyb/Capture_oh.PNG

Of course there are brokers out there that trade in micro lots that you can test a martingale system without risking big money. I have only found one that has an account type that offers 1 Lot = 1000 units (instead of the standard 100,000 units).http://forexbrokerinc.comIt is because of this broker is the ONLY reason I am able to attempt a full martingale MM system without stressing over losing a ton of money. If it blows the account, I just re-fund it.

I have always avoided martingales. But, recently I thought I would try to design one. It may blow the account but so far so good.http://www.myfxbook.com/members/ibthescottyb/fx-rogue-wave-30-reversal/1054977http://www.myfxbook.com/forex-charts/EURJPY,M30/29043/aAZvZp3nw7cj0vqWith the use of three indicatorsMoving AverageMACDForce IndexWhen they agree the trend is LONG, a BUY is placed at .01 Lots with a TP of 40 pips.

Thank you for stopping by. Let's watch the charts for a few weeks and see how we do. At the moment I am only testing a theory.

No difference between 1 and 2 as far as the EA is concerned. Only started at different times (dates). Plan to have several accounts running keeping money segregated. Easier for broker to fill higher lot orders. And with different starting dates, less likely all accounts would blow at same time. If an account blows (which there is that possibility), Money can be moved from other accounts while keeping income stream stable.Has not blown account in testing if account balance is high enough, but I would rather diversify a little and play it safer. The martingale is risky enough. 😇Not shari...

The shot above is from the EURJPY 30m. It was cleaner.Earlier in the week, EURJPY was in a down trend and sell orders were profiting every 50 pips. When the uptrend began, it began buy orders. While these were profiting every 50 pips, the last entered sell order was in draw down, new sell orders were placed every 50 pips in drawdown until the small retracement on Friday where all the open sell orders closed. The highest closed sell orders profited enough to cover the smaller sell orders.I did not claim that my EA was a trend detector. I only use certain "trend friendly" indicators to...

No worries Ace. I am only concerned about the short term. I am dealing with 30-50 pip price movements as in the attached screenshot.http://www.myfxbook.com/files/ibthescottyb/charts/EURJPY_M30_ctDpOZ2Fad.png

When in an uptrend, it BUYS, PROFITS, CLOSES, then re-enters in same direction.When in a downtrend, it SELLS, PROFITS, CLOSES, then re-enters in same direction.If in a BUY and a downtrend begins, it continues to buy every -30 pips (on EURUSD) at increasingly larger lot sizes. TP profit is moved on all open BUY orders to the previous entry point waiting for a 40 pip retrace. Even though some may close in loss, the overall series closes in profit.It's risky, I know. But did very well in back testing and I am on a mini-micro account for live forward testing.

The EA I designed is also selling and profiting with the downtrend at the same time it is buying at 30 pip levels with the martingale.

The initial order go with the trend with a high degree of completion at TP. It is when the trend reverses is when the Martingale starts.

Made a couple tweaks to the set file and reset EA on all pairs. So I reset the dates in the reporting to start fresh with new settings.

Hi Askew!I like the Rogue Wave EA I created, but it had some behaviors that I did not care for. So, I am back to the drawing board. A few years ago I created a Grid strategy EA. It works very well, but I needed an account that traded in very small sizes so the martingale could run if it had to. We will see how it does. I just started it today.
