Micro martingale with small capital

EA looks promising in BT, however I can't get it to work on my demo account. IC Markets, Stop level 0, ECN, GBPUSD, Spread < 1.5, leverage 1:500. Standard settings - signal level 6, equity 200 USD When I set signal level to 0 it opens a trade right away, but with signal setting 6, it hasn't opened a single trade in 2 days. The same with Roboforex ECN demo account. In BT, there are around 1200 trades per month, so there should be around 60 trades per day. There's no error in journal. What am I doing wrong?

Your initial deposit is VERY low for martingale, and you are probably over-leveraging it also.

Hi Abade
Thank you for explaining it.

Hi Fuchur
Under those conditions for IC (GU) there should be minimum transaction.
It needs to check what the problem is.
Here's GU ICM with Signal 6 (yerterday)

If today many transactions for UJ, GJ dan EJ

Average transaction 1200 / month, does not mean every day there are 60 transactions.
Sometimes only one or even none, but sometimes a day more than 100.
Depending on market conditions.

I start to forward test the EA this week on a FBS cent account, I'm running it on 4 pairs --- GU, EU, UJ and EJ.
So far I got 19 trades; out of the 19 trades - 10 trades were hit SL. Is this normal??

I',using default setting except I change....
1) MaxSpread to 3
2) Margin Percent as 1
3) Pending_Order = false

Hi Macau, thanks for the feedback.

FBS, all spread high and stoplevel 1 Should still profit even small. For Cent accounts I have never tried.
To overcome the high spreads and stoplevel> 0, there will be in the next version with virtual pending.
This morning I also got the loss of EJ with SL 5.

Is there no error in Jornal ? (red code)

Any way I will try the investigation for this case.
thanks.

Hi Abade, hi mrgmrg,

thank you for trying to help.
I have set signal level to 3 and am using fixed lotsize 0.01. Pending order now false. But still - no trades...
I also don't understand why it is trading with standard settings and signal level 0. Strange.

If SL could have happened but not that much.

But with large spreads and stop level 1, less suitable for this EA.

Btw I try on Fbs for the next version fix.

Hi Fuchur

Sorry for the late reply.

For today with Pair GU and EU although with Signal 3 there is no transaction.
The one in Pair UJ, EJ and GJ.

ICM fits perfectly with this EA, LowSpredas.


thanks.

Hi mrgmrg, thank you for your answer.

Does server connection speed has an influence on trading? I have a ping time of around 150 ms.
I lowered signal level to 1, but still no trades...

Signal level 0 => lots of trades. (see attached screenshot, this is EURUSD signal level 0 on Roboforex)

Anything I can try?

The connection speed affects, but 150ms is enough that important stable.

Signal 0, specifically to test whether EA works.

If today, Signal 0 just profit. But it will be a lot of loss if a lot of fluctuations.

For very small test signals, try with -2.00, -1.5, -1.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5. . . . etc.

Btw Signal 3 upwards can already profit, stronger if 5 and above.

For small Signal will be many transactions, use small SL as well.

Again, thanks for your answers. It is really strange, with signal level 0 it is trading all the time, with signal level 1 no single trade the whole day... Very strange...

Signal "0" is special for testing EA can work or not.
Signal 1, there should be 2 transactions in the yesterday morning.

Hi mrgmrg,

What are TrailingstStart and TrailingStep in Inputs?
What is the difference between TrailingStart and TrailingStart_2?
What is stop level 1?

FYI, I got 2 profitable trades in EJ this morning.

Hi Macau, thank you.

Eg Buy OP.
1. TrailingStart - SL will change after price + 30Pips (TrailingStart) with the distance below the price of 2Pips (TrailingStep) and SL will move upwards following the price.

2. TrailingStart SL will change after price + 3Pips (TrailingStart_2) with the distance below the price of 2Pips (TrailingStep_2) and move until SL reach 2pips (TrailingStart) then stay there (for minimum locking profit).

* The parent EA from Micro instead uses 3 levels of trailing (out of topic).

3. Stop Level.
For example a broker using Stop Level 20 (2Pips), SL or TP or Pending Order must be greather than 2pips + spreads.

This EA uses a small range of pending orders and Trailing or SL / TP can be set in "1".
** Manual trading is also the same.

So for maximal profit, ideally with LowSpreads and StopLevel 0. Because EA is only looking for profit starting from 1 pips or less.

** Today only OP EJ dan GJ.

Hi Fuchur

Signal_level 1, for GU until now there is no OP.
If the EU is 2.

Revo Power is better than Micro (Profit About 150% of Micro).

Micro is part of Revo Power.

Now I'm FT Revo.

Hi mrgmrg, the EA just did it's first transaction on GU under signal level 1. So I just have to be patient and maybe use several pairs at once. What do you recommend?

I have downloaded Revo Power from your post in this thread, is there also a time limit? Where do you post updates?

Thank you very much for your work and for sharing!

Hi Fuchur

For GU this January is less powerful.

If the date of November 1 to December 17, 2017 many transactions.
Try BT with Signal 3 and small SL (5-8), and see the results.

Revo Power is close to completion, with the addition of features:
- Trend Signal (eg upside candle, OP Buy will be below and above will OP Sell)
- 3 Trailing Levels
- Virtual Pending Order
- Percentage Closing (if loss%)

Later will be shared, still waiting BT and FT better again, maybe later this month.
