M1 Countertrend Scalping Strategy

when donald speaks, you have to sit on your chairs

Just another successful trading day.... no Pips here only facts and figures.

Hi All - here is my scalping trading strategy on Gold M1

Entry Strategy: Counter-trend pullback strategy based on consecutive candlestick patterns. The EA waits for N consecutive down bars (default 7) in an uptrend to open BUY positions, or N consecutive up bars in a downtrend to open SELL positions. Entry occurs at the close of the Nth bar when trend filter confirms alignment (MAMA/FAMA + Aroon indicators validate the primary trend direction).
Averaging Strategy: Grid-based position averaging activates when price moves against the initial position. New grid orders are placed at fixed or ATR-based distance intervals. Position sizing follows one of four management modes: Fixed lot, Lots Sum (ladder), All Lots Sum (cumulative), or Martingale (exponential). Grid averaging respects trend filter - stops adding positions if the primary trend reverses, preventing averaging against a changed market direction.
Exit Strategy: Virtual Take Profit system calculates a volume-weighted average price across all positions and sets a unified TP target in points. When any position in the cluster reaches this virtual TP level, the EA closes ALL positions of that direction simultaneously, locking in the overall profit. Additional exit options include average trailing stop, monetary/percentage loss limits, and Friday closing mechanisms for weekend risk management.

Hello, colleague!

Great job!

I myself am also a grid martingale trader.
I have many years of experience trading on almost all world markets behind me. Since 2002, I've tried practically all approaches and tactics. And about a year and a half ago, I plunged into the world of grid trading. During this time, of course, I've lost a lot, but now I know that grid trading is what suits me, and besides, it really brings constant income. Yes, there are drawdowns, but if you have a cent account rather than a standard one, then the chance of losing everything at once isn't high.
Now I myself write grid trading advisors. There are several in my portfolio.

This is my M1 EA on Gold

ah you are taking only small pips and so you avoid drawdowns

If you can avoid drawdowns, why go through it ?

yes, and also it has the advantage of taking higher leverage per position.


i could not do that because the entry has to be exact and mine is not exact...i have terrible timing;-)

then you are in the wrong thread, move along!

but his outcome seems not so bad on the chart (although I'm somewhat allergic to martingales)

I would describe my trading today as "fan trading":-)

it is a completely different topic, better suited to this thread or similar
cool fans!

Gringo - is there a place in the thread where you elaborate on how you trade?
