Martingale is exceptionally dangerous. I wouldn't advise it except for the more advanced traders who understand trading.

More advanced traders who understand trading know not to do it.

Disagree..... This reminds me of another thread where everyone gets so fixated on the 'fear' of poor money management and martingale.

Some people believe eating onions are bad for you, while others believe it is great for you.

...please sit-out...

They are not fixated on the 'fear' of poor money management and martingale it's that they understand what it can and WILL do to an account.

And it doesn't matter if you think onions are good or bad for you because either way they are going to make you cry just like when martingale blows your account.

BTW-if you utilize the martingale of your approach "better", you can ditch the hedging part all together and get the same results. Good luck to you.

See, there you go, something constructive! What do you mean better?

I wasn't intending to upset you, however, I get tired of all the negative people 'saving' everyone from themselves. It gets a bit old. I have invested millions of dollars, been a multi-millionaire a couple times, lost millions as well. I understand how to make it and lose it, but who cares, at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is enjoying your life and not being around critical negative people (not that you are, but I perceived your comments as such). I have had...

I took a look at your template. Have you tried 20/3 as opposed to 3/1.25 settings for the supertrend?

Hi all, Please tell me what you think of one of my profitable LIVE systems. This system is less about perfect entries and more about proper money management. EXPECTED PROFIT: 10%+ PER MONTH EXPECTED DRAWDOWN: < 20% AT ANY TIME INDICATORS: SUPERTREND Recommended Time Frame: 4HR or Daily This system is to be traded off any time frame, however, the larger the time frame, the easier to manage manually. The intent is that I along with others will create an EA from this possibly in the future to accommodate smaller time-frame's. If you aren't available...

How do you know which direction your going to hedge in? It seem you need to pick a direction and you only use one indicator and no price action. Eg. It looks like your example above would have worked better if you swapped your Buys for Sells and Sells for Buys, so your always with the trend and still hedged on the Sell side. But i dont understand how you determine what side you will hedge? Are you still working on this project?
