Interesting MM spreadsheet

So I got an e-mail from Tom Strignano (I'm on his mailing list) about some guy's "advanced MM strategy" using "artificial intelligence algorithms" to calculate the correct lot size to use for a given trade. You can see the original here (http://ddsmm.forexdecoder.com/).

I went through and downloaded the file. Lo and behold, it's an excel spreadsheet that was conveniently password protected.

I broke the password protection so I could get at the meaty juices inside, and suffice it to say, there is no magic. It's a standard MM system in a pretty package.

I had created something very similar previously.

It basically puts a dampening effect on your lot size as you approach the max drawdown that you are looking not to achieve. So it becomes an exponential decay curve as you approach max drawdown.

As for overcoming protection on excel spreadsheets, one of the easiest ways that i have found is to open the excel SS in OpenOffice and then save it in OO. For some reason it strips out the password feature and allows you to see all the formulas.

You can also see the same type of spreadsheet in the MAX Trading system where I saw it over a year ago.

Hi Ronald, please can you build the DDSMM as a software that can be used on the MT4 platform.

Thank You So Much.
