Micro martingale with small capital

I agree

would this ea work on $20? would it place trades if i set it to fixed lot? im trying it live, i tried in demo it works but no trades opened yet for 2 days

For Leverage 1: 500, with $ 20 can work if with Fix Lot or Autolot with Margin_Percent> 15%.
For FT does not work, many causes, such as StopLevel> 0, Spreads> Max_Spreads, Free Margin is not enough.

Try with Signa _Level "0" just to test what works or not. If Signal_Kevel 0 does not work, then there is an unmet requirement.

Okay I will test signal 3. But signal -1 is giving good results on demo vps and opposite on real. Unable to understand this.

Can you please release PDF to explain all parameters. still many are confusing. Also whats the exit plan for locking/hedging? If multiplication is 1.1, will EA keep adding new positions in case market is ranging and direction not clear?

Also locking loss percent calculation is not correct. If we enter 10, it still locks at 1%

okay, maybe Monday I post, because today I just returned from outside us

Hello mrgmrg
I now test the application Mrg_Micro_Martingale_V1_05.ex4 on a demo account for one month.(vps)
If the test was good on the demo account,
What should I do if I want to have an unlimited real account?

In the past, I have seen the same thing between demo accounts and live to demo accounts on same broker.

The EA runs the same code on all Brokers. I found that different results can be from connectivity to server (Latency Times) issues and/or Spread and Stop Level settings by broker. It only takes 1 pip to make or miss a trade signal.

Demo and Live accounts by their nature will never have identical results. Demo can have more static spreads and Stop Level, while with Live account these are always changing. Also, Demo accounts are direct market feeds, while Live accounts are through Broker's Bank to Market. This effects latency times and Broker's live account server can refuse order calls during high volume periods. This is the nature of Live account trading.

I have run 2 Live accounts on separate PCs, on same broker, same EA, same settings and had different results.

But let me add that even if u run your EA on 2 Real accounts in 2 Terminals on the same computer, then you will still likely have subtle differences... There are several technical reasons for the differences - each Terminal will receive a slightly different Tick stream, each Terminal will experience slightly different latency/timing issues and for each Terminal the broker's server might behave differently when processing requests...
You also need to be aware that the candle time in the hst file is defined by the server time...if the demo server clock is not synchronized to the same source clock as the live account server then the same price feed will still result in differing hst files as the Open and Close value for each candle will occur at a slightly different market time (not the same thing as server time unless the server clock is perpetually synchronizing) for small time-shift errors and can result in the high and low values being incorrect as well if the time-shift is large and the data ends up incorrectly captured as belonging to neighboring candles.
Years ago this was a huge issue with customer's demoing IBFX because the demo server timestamp was nearly 3 minutes (!) off from the live server. M1 candles on demo accounts were entirely stamping at a different time than the live accounts...this condition persisted for months and accumulated a lot of feedback in their forums. Moral of the story is don't assume that even the large(r) brokers are on top of everything.
Demo accounts will never be the same as live accounts if the broker is running price feeds off of different servers, everything involving loading dynamics and hardware configuration specifics can and will be different.
This will be the same if running on a VPS because the same problems will be there because I also run on a VPS and have different results between demo and live account.

Hi Lindrich
Exactly, what you describe I have already compared between BT, FT Demo, Real FT with the same PC or different PC.
For example, Signal_Level in BT uses 6, but in FT uses 5.8, 5.9, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, etc.
Likewise for Trailing each Pair and brokers the result is slightly different. I also try with disable Trailing and closing using only loss / profit percentage even with different result.
Spreads change and the result is different, but for StopLevel (if 0) it should always be 0.
For that, take the middle path setting adjusted to the characteristics of Pair and broker respectively.
And BT with Q90 or Q99.99 only as a reference to find optimized parameters and the result of course there is a difference with the results of demo and real FT, and the stability of internet connection is also very important.

I little technic Informationen. If you test with your home pc, you will always lose.
Because your have at home a bad internet connection.
The secret is the Ping. For example i am at Broker Pepperstone. The Pepperstone Server is in London. And stay near the Market Server in London. So the Ping is 1 ms. This is the best. Now second part: you can rent a vps from Broker, and then if you have london vps, you have a Ping from 2 ms to the broker server. Together 1ms + 2ms = 3ms long the time. Sounds good. BUT you have only 1 CPU. And you are on a Host server with many vps from other Users. This make the MT4 slow in calculation. So you will lose.

Another Information: the MT4 have a Problem. He can not work with Multi CPU. If you use more than 1 CPU for 1 MT4, than the reaction time go down. Because the switching calculation from cpu to another CPU need time. It is not many, but for us with fast scalper is it too much. So the MT4 run faster, if you go in Task Manager, and deselect all other CPUs.

My way is another. I have a real server with 16 CPU. And this stay in Datacenter in Germany. So i have a ping from 20ms to Broker Server in London. I can create My own vps on my server. And select My own cpu for each vps. For example I run vps with 4 cpu, and have 4 MT4 on it. And every MT4 use a another cpu. No one runs on the same cpu.

With this is my result better as a rent vps with 1 million other Users.

So check your Ping to your broker. I think you will have minimum 50ms. And if you use your home pc it is not clever. What is, you have open a trade, and then you lost your internet connection ? Shit happens. You will lose.

good technique analysis. the conclusion of a fast and stable connection (vps), the result is better.

So also Spreads, eg in BT with 0.2pips spreads difference, the results are very different.

The challenge is if the limitations of connections, can setting with good profit. Of course with Vps profit will be greater.

What I was trying to point out is that there are a lot of issues with why a home pc will give different results between a demo account and a live account which some traders where asking about.
I use a VPS in NEWYORK and my broker is down the street which gives me a 1ms response time.
Even with this what I was trying to say is that if your live account tick feed will be different from your demo account tick feed from your broker so you will get different results from your BROKERS SERVER. Keep in mind that all of the trades made in demo do not affect the real market, for example if I made a trade in EURUSD on demo for a trillion dollars this would be executed on demo with no affect in the real markets. But in a live account it would have a affect on the markets.

You might want to look at the cent brokers if you have $20 - it would give you much more flexibility.

Hi all.

I'm getting a critical error as below, anyone know the problem?


BTW, i'm not getting any positive result so far for 99.9% Backtest, EURUSD 1M, Spread 3.0, Period 2017 Jan 01 to 2017 Dec 31
Any comment?
BackTesting still ongoing........

If someone interest for a vps server, you can contact me with private message.
My server have a ping from 20ms to London. And this stable since years.
You get a Windows 2012 Server with Intel Xeon CPU.
My prices
1 CPU and 2 GB RAM= 5€ in month.
2 CPU and 2 GB RAM= 10€ in month.
3 CPU and 3 GB RAM= 15€ in month
4 CPU and 4 GB RAM= 20€ in month.

Say it me, if someone want it.

Good idea

Thanks for your detailed post dear. This is informative for all of us. Totally agree. So bottom line is, we should consider broker, vps and latency for good results.

No problem dear. Just take your time.

also, you skipped many posts above. Can you please guide about exit plan for locking if multiplication is 1 or 1.5 even.

One last thing you have to look at is where the sever is located to your broker, just because somebody gets 20 ms to London dosnt mean that you will get that if your broker is in Australia your time will be ALOT worse.
It is important to choose the location of your VPS with the location of your broker you can find all this online that will show you different response times to different brokers and you can see that it makes a big difference, just google it.
Also there are VPS companys that are directly linked to many different brokers that if you make more than 100 trades per month the VPS server is free which is not hard to do when scalping. I have 4 CPU and 6G of ram and have not paid for this service for years as long as you make enough trades per month on a live account, and look for a broker with low spreads I have a ECN account with EURUSD pip spread from 0.0 to 0.2 pips.
Do your homework before you decide what to do.

@lindrich
first i was at the Partner from my Broker. It is the ForexVPS Company. They are in London. Here i get a ping from 2ms to my Broker.
But i have many times a Network error. In MT4 Journal is written "disconnect from Network". This i have many times. I write the Support many times, to fix this.
Then he move my VPS to another IP Range in the Datacenter. First 2 days is Looks ok, but then the same. Many Network disconnects, and ping is jumping from 2ms up to 1000ms.
And this is a Company only for Brokers. My experience is not good with this Service. I can not work with this, if i can not trust, is my vps online or not ?

So i have my own real Hardware HP ProLaint Server in a Datacenter with Fiber Network. I pay for this. So i dont think, that i give a vps Server for free.
I am no Company, i have no contract to other companys. I give this Service for private use.

That my Server have a good Network Connection, you can see on screenshot.
You can see ping to Pepperstone UK is 18-19ms.
And to Google it is only 1ms.

And what very importend is, that is stable with no ping loss.

Ask me, if you want to know, what my Server for a ping have to your Broker. I Need only the adress.

During locking, Trailing does not work, Entry Order does not work except SL / TP and close all if Profit is greater than Profit_Lock_Firsttime * Use Margin.

Locking_Multipkication = 1, Closing manually.
Locking_Multipkication <> 1, will close all if Profit >= Profit_Lock_Firsttime * Use Margin, or by closing manually.

EA will work normally after Total_positions = 0 or no transaction with comment "Locking".
