You guys have just stumbled upon one of the cool new features of the revised codes. I was going to wait to talk about them (and there are several other new features as well, so keep experimenting everyone) but since you found this one I will go ahead and describe it now. Your persistance has paid off -- you've earned it:

Martingale Input. This is not an On/Off switch. It is always doing something: If set to "0" you are anti-Martingaling. If set to "1", you are Martingaling. Everyone knows what Martingaling is already. It's where...
So what does Martingale 0 and Lotmultiplier 1.5 do? Is it supposed to decrease lot sizes by half each time? Here I have these settings but in this example it is not decreasing lot sizes by half. Please explain with numbers as I am trying very hard to understand.

I would encourage you to reread FH's post on this matter - you missed an important point.

Ok so what is are you not seeing?
Martingale 0 = anti martingale martingale = 1 martingale
martingale lot multiplier <1 when martingale set at 0 ie .8, .5,.1 all numbers less than 1.
lot multiplier > 1 when martingale =1
set both at 1 if you choose not to use this feature.

Nothing shows up on the chart - spreadsheet time to see what your trade size is going to be based on your settings.

Hope this helps,

So this is what it seems like.
Martingale 0 - increases the lot size by what the number is. So if lot multiplier is 1. then lots will be e.g. 1,,2,3 ... If lots multiplier is 0.5 then lots are 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5

If martingale is 1 then it works by % as Forexhard said before. But Martingale 0 is not antimartingale it just increases the lots not by percentage but by number.

But thanks for trying to answer me when you didnt understand yourself.....

What don't I understand,

Nowhere does FH say that antimartingale increases lot size. He specifically says it decreases lot size by a percentage. IE if I set martingale at 0 and lot multiple at .7 my first trade would be 1 lot, next trade .7 lots, next trade, .49 lots, next trade .34 etc....

Try this on your chart and please show me an example. It simply isnt true. With those settings it increase your lots each time by 0.7. So 1, 1,7 2,4 3,1

I am not having a go at anyone , I am just trying to understand and not follow blindly. It's ok to make mistakes. Thats how we learn together...

It doesn't show up on the chart, all that shows up on the chart is the pips between the signals, not the lots, how could the chart show lots?

Here you see my settings.

It assumes your lots are 1. First trade - 37.6 pips @ 1 lot.... Second trade - 37.6 pips @ 1.7 lots = 63.9 (as you can see)... do I have to continue

According to you the second trade should have been less then 37.6 but as you can see it's not...

Not according to me the second trade showed up as it should have, 37.6, what didn't show up was the lots for the trade which would be less that 1 like .7 for the second trade if I used a .7 lot multiple for martingale set at 0.

Don't worry, I'm confused as well. One thing I know, just set the bastard thing to 1 & 1, no martingaling, I never wanted to use it anyway. Now I know how to switch it off.

Now you are taking a tool out of your tool box, wouldn't it be better to learn how to use the frigin thing? Even if you never use it, the knowledge is worth the effort. My opinion.
