so you only average in an equal start size?

isn't martingale suggesting you double up multiple times?

hello TradeMonk,
right now, i have a buy signal [0.2buy]
if i get a sell signal, with my buy trade in negative, i will enter a sell trade with lotsize 0.3 - 0.4. The idea is to have more exposure in the trend direction, i recommend limiting that exposure to 0.2lots. hope this answers your question.

Hi,

I'm interested in understanding your system as I use another martingale system also (on a real account, see my trader explorer).

Which time frame do you trade ?
It seems that you use a MA to decide your direction, is that right ?

Have you backtested your strategy ?

Thanks and Good luck!

hello,
i use the FRASMA indicator, which is basically an MA.
i use the H1 charts
A close above the indicator determines my entry for buys, and a close below for sells.
i have not been able to get anyone to code the strategy, so a backtest has not been possible.

Do you have a link to that FRASMA indicator ? If I find time, I could try to code that strategy and see...

Ok, I saw also on the first picture that you have multiple orders at the same time and I don't understand why. If you want me to write that EA, I need clear entry and exit rules that I understand.

broketrader,
i took that screenshot from another account. The actual trades based on this strategy can be seen from the trade explorer. The rules are relatively simple, buy when you get a buy signal, sell on a sell signal. if a buy trade is open and in loss, and you get a sell signal, open a sell trade at a higher lot size to cancel out the buy. for the purpose of coding an EA, you can use a multiplier of 2. i sent you a PM. let me know if you need anything else.
