Forex.com is one option, not a brilliant one but they do allow 0.01 lots and have no maximum lot limit. It really depends what your starting lot size is going to be.To be honest I would not use any broker that is not an ECN or an STP, especially not for a martingale. Get a requote or some other kind of order rejection at the wrong time and you are in the deep stuff.One of the reasons Martingales are such a dicey proposition on live accounts.

Fortunately Google translate works both ways.It's not unreasonable for people to expect a good level performance without an account suddenly wiping out over the course of a couple of days.Yes there are risks in Forex trading and yes you should never trade with capital you cannot afford to lose in it's entirety but to see that capital disappear in one week must be pretty disheartening for Vit.I don't believe there is any call for rudeness Dmitry.

Don't use Alpari in my opinion, certainly not for a Martingale system.You have two options with Alpari one of which doesn't allow smaller than a 0.1 lot and the other which does allow 0.01 lot but does not allow you to open more than I think 2 lots at any one time. Neither are ideal for Martingale.

I haven't tested this but it's pretty much correct I think. Although I may not have defined all the variables I'm using and my counter might be out by one so you might have to adjust that. I called my custom indicator "Cross EMA Arrow". You may also wish to replace the variables used for the indicator by externals for optimising ( I used the defaults 4 and 5 ) //In variable declaration at the top//Number of bars to wait after positive signalextern int EMABars = 10;//Bars countdouble EMABuyCount = 0;//Bars countdouble EMASellCount = 0; //In your start section //Checkin...

Add a column for trade duration in Ящик для предложений Sep 17, 2010 at 08:27

It's a good suggestion and it would be useful but it would be very hard to work out for MyFxBook.

It would have to be an awkward one wouldn't it!I'll download the indicator and take a look.Are you using the modified MA at all ( red,blue line ) as you have to be careful the way you use this one. It doesn't accurately record the change over from red to blue and so you have to actually compare previous values on it if you are using it in iCustom()

He only trades GbpJpy and I monitor the account on a daily basis. GbpJpy has pretty much been heading up for the last few days and this account equity has been heading down.

Arbatov PAMM Insta in Торговые системы Sep 17, 2010 at 08:11

Indeed it does look as though this account is heading for a wipe. GbpJpy isn't coming down any time soon I don't think.

Thanks Tumbleweed. This EA is currently on hold. I am working mostly on Behemoth and a semi automated EA called prosper bot at the moment ( you can keep up to date with things on my blog ).

Add a column for trade duration in Ящик для предложений Sep 16, 2010 at 15:34

Hi,Is it possible to add a new column into the trade history for trade duration please? It would help with analysing strategies to see if I can close losers down earlier for a smaller loss.Thanks

I must admit ability to withdraw my money onto my debit card had never been one of the criteria I've even considered for a broker. Good spreads, stable connection, good execution and direct market access are the main things I look for. I don't care if they send my money back to me in used £10 notes in a sack providing the other criteria are achieved.

For icustom() just use the number against the colour of each component in the indicator property tab.You also need to pass the settings for the indicator.Here's an exampledouble IndicatorValue= iCustom(NULL, 0, "Indicator", 10, 350, 1, 0);Breaking it down ( currency, timeframe, indicator name, first indicator parameter, second indicator parameter, indicator buffer ( from the colour tab ), bar number )

Thanks Soeren, are you regulated? You need to be to be a money manager with Dukascopy I believe as well as some of the other regulated brokers.Your strategy seems to be working well but I personally wouldn't be happy with the drawdown. I get twitchy when I see equity drawdown. My own EA, which similar to yours has only been running it's current configuration for less than a month is also around the 20% return mark with an equity risk of 1% per trade.I plan to put it on a live account this week and see how it performs before, like you, offering it out to other investors.

Behemoth in Торговые системы Sep 16, 2010 at 11:22

Caught the secondary move upwards on EurJpy, 93 pip winner.Close to 19% return in less than one month with only a 1% equity risk per trade.I am going to be starting a smallish live account for this within the next few days. It's officially moving into beta test phase.

Yep, I can see the benefit of compounding and of taking on clients and that having enough clients with $100 would actually generate a good enough income.Sir Williams was talking about trading your own $100 and in the first month $20 sure isn't going to pay my bills. It's a nice thought to think "I only need to risk $100 and I can make a decent return". The point I'm making is that to get that 20% return you probably have to make trading your full time profession.

Why not trade your own money? in Новые трейдеры Sep 16, 2010 at 09:12

I think Sir Williams was referring to trading your own $100. Not everybody elses $100.Totally true about the new boss. I traded a friends capital once and he actually sat in work and loaded up some charts and was emailing me all day about the trades that had come up and comparing them to how I was doing. How crazy is that?Also true about not wanting to party alone, but you also need to consider the fact that wealth needs to be earned or it will never be appreciated. People who get rich quick with little effort on their part generally end up blowing it.

Having traded other people's money ( and a reasonable sum as well ), I can say that it does increase the stress of trading. I certainly would not recommend it unless you have ice water in your veins!That said if you can master the psychological aspect or it or just couldn't care less if you lose other people's money then it's a good way to get more funds for your own trading account.Making 20-40% of $100 isn't going to pay the bills and for a lot of people trading is a full time profession and so has to pay the bills.

Previously I thought Arbatov was trading arbitrarily. However I'm starting to rethink that hypothesis, as he would surely have got out of any short positions as soon as BOJ released the funds the other night. Instead he appears to have added to it. So it seems that maybe he is following a mechanical system.

EURUSD	1.13907	GBPUSD	1.32059	AUDUSD	0.69014
USDJPY	161.758	USDCAD	1.41906	USDCHF	0.80939
