Martingale

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

The frequency only depends on your strategy. (scalping, day trading, swing?)
Manually I can restart whenever I want.

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

The theory is prooven by itself... The formula is pure maths.

Regarding automatic trading, do you know an EA that open trades on exact reversal area 10 times in a row?
As soon as you fail the last order... You end up with zero profit, zero loss.

Let's restart

Order 1 failed on EurUsd

Order 1 on AudUsd in progress
Order 2 on AudUsd is already set (pending order) TP 1 and SL 2 are at the limit of the riskless zone

SL 2 = 40 pips / ( 1 ) => 40 pips (minus 3 pips to cover spread)

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.

                        *** This is official ***
=> It's the last time I respond to you. You are useless in every single sentence you write.

I stated from Order 1, you use it as buffer/sacrifice, then the martingale up and down creates a riskless trading area while you can double each lotsize from following trades.
=> Apparently, you are the only one not to understand it. (read comments from other users... they all got it) Are you that stupid? or too frustrated from past comments I wrote about you to admit it.

Did I say you can become millionaire with this martingale?
=> I said the theory is simple but the practise is much harder for 2 reasons:
- If you open Order N+1 at the wrong time, or if you are too greedy, the martingale will end up with no profit but zero loss.
Let's say I opened Long Order 4 with 0.56.
It would be:
Order 3: €+100
Order 4: €-100

Why I don't use it personnaly since the last 3 years... it's because it is very hard to use as you have to pick up the bottom and top at the right time... which is almost impossible as nobody can't guess where this happen.

Now, I'm not successfull?

Why people want me to trade for them while I'm not looking to manage money from others?

Anyway... I'm done with you! ^^

Yes it is waste of my time talking to you.
So just for the others - dont waste time with @CrazyTrader ideas. They dont work.

Who can solve this problem?

Let's go back to the successful martingale I have done on EurUsd.

Order 1 Sell 0.07 @ 1.0577
Order 2 Long 0.14 @ 1.0548

The limit of the riskless zone was 29 pips below Order 2
Pips Diff = abs(1.0577 - 1.0548) = 29 pips
Formula SL = 29 / ( (0.14/0.07) - 1 ) = 29 pips

If you wish more room for Order 2 and don't get caught by market... How could you increase riskless zone by 100%???

😄 This is something that pleases me ... really. 😎

@CrazyTrader and voila you lost 47% of the account this week,
why on earth you call it risk free?

Does anyone can explain to this guy, riskless trading zone is reached once Order 2 is opened! ^^

So far this week, I couldn't do it.... probably because I'm not a day trader.

But still alive.... ^^

Anyone has found the solution yet... how to double the riskless trading zone? You guys don't like maths...

That's right, it's good, I tried it and it worked for me with the Martingale.

Perhaps it is that it is risk free because after developing the right formula, after losing, it is time to win and recover what was lost and more.

Real name of martingale it's martinloose at the end

@Novar
No, Martingale is derived from the name of the author - Martin Gale. Though you are right it is loss at the end.

@CrazyTrader
you have no arguments so you decline to personal attacks, it is telling us more about you than me.
Anyway you stated ...each trade with ZERO RISK. ...
you have risk free martingale with each trade. You dont, you wiped 40% of the account in a week.

The solution to increase riskless zone by 2 was to to increase lotsize for Order 2 only from 50% more from Order 1 instead of doubling lotsize.

So why don't you stop posting rubbish comments while I'm working on it?

Unless you really like to repeat third time things you have already said? ^^

You know what this topic is about martingale.
You tried to promote yourself here. It is quite clear you have nothing to offer. So dont spam here.

in this situation first you have sell position and after buy, what if you first go buy( you will start lose) and after you will open 1,5 bigger sell?

Once again
listening to crazytrader is just crazy, silly, etc...

Generally said, man is done by his deeds not his words.
So dont read this pretty words like risk free martingale (pure nonsense),
look at the results - attached.

Thanks a lot, this screens says all. Thanks @vontogr

If Order 1 is wrong whatever it was sell or buy... It hits SL, then I restart with a new order 1 with same lotsize, buy or sell... on any pair based on your own signals/strategy.

But you could do as you want.

Frankly speaking, I myself am against trading Martingale as it is clearly obvious for me that it bears unnecessary unjustified huge risks. Furthermore, forex market, just as the Universe, is constantly moving and changing. At the same time, everything that brings profit over significant period of time is right and has the right to exist.
