{quote} i try few more time after that, it still open new order even i set "cycle=1". after the "longest index: 2" which i mention above, it still happen, i dont know why. and the EA open 2 position at the same time at pair EUR/JPY...
so far, didn't see these problem.

if attach at USD/CHF, it got a yellow line, Break Even line, it display the text of break even level at chart too...but the EA did nothing if price retrace, it just showing up.

what does that mean by "EA did nothing"? need to understand the issue.
let me know your broker, account type, and settings you've used.
If you ask me to code/fix your EA... it's probably not for free...

i mean the break even line at USD/CHF, it just showing, but not really will "break even", i thought just UC got this, but now i saw on EU chart too, is there any setting for BE . i use tickmill ecn demo acc.

P/S can i modify this EA? for personal use only

break even is still experimental and need further testing. This has nothing to do with close all orders logic, I kept it separate. Break even does only calculation where you got $0 profit price. It doesn't mean it will close all orders.
Hope that answers.

still seems to be fine based on the screenshot. but I don't have any idea why it was closing at index 2, where your settings is actually until index of 5 (if I'm not wrong).
I was started this with tickmill, and still using tickmill, nowhere it fails in some index. even I attach your settings, it also still running fine and never close at index 5.

would you be able to check whether you attach any other indicator on your chart which does close the order?
I thought it was because of stop loss, but your stop loss set to false, so it should not have any issue.

indicator shouldn't be a problem, it don't manage trade, i didn't use other EA, just 3 TM EA at different pair with different magic number. anyway i will try again with different setting, will inform if figure out where's wrong.

Just try with 1 new demo account, totally empty chart, no indicators, and run that EA alone. if no issues, that means some code (either in indicator or another EA) that is interrupting this EA.

Hi radityo,

It's always interesting for me following people doing studies on martingales. I have done a lot of work myself on this subject and still working on it and if you allow me, I would like to share my findings, maybe they will be useful for you too.

1. Trading from London open to NY close is the right way to go at least for EUR/USD/GBP.
2. You should maybe consider not allowing new trades during NY news hours.
3. If I have understood, your EA makes symmetric trades eg. 20 pip TP, 20 pip SL You should consider making it asymmetric eg. 15 pips SL, 30 pip TP (or off course any values you want) this way one win recover 2 losses and your index increases slowly.
4. Consider integrating a trailing stop once that your target is reached instead of taking profits at that level.

And finally and maybe my best advice, consider simplifying your EA, for me it seems far too complicated. In the past, I made an EA that worked not so bad until it imploded, it was quite complicated and had some points in common with yours, it cost me months of work to have finally several parameters that were just cancelling each other. when it imploded, I abandoned it and didn't trade for several months, then an idea came, coded it using the martingale approach and in two days I had the EA working, and the best part is that it's 2 pages of code and has 2 parameters only, imagine that, it just amazed me as I was thinking that it shouldn't work, like 99% of the EAs I write.

That's not to say, that I'm better than you, no way! just emphasize that you should add a trading idea/system to your tunnel EA, maybe trade the daily breaks, high/low hour breaks, etc.. you see the point.

That were just my 2 cents, anyway congratulations for your work and thanks for sharing with others.
I will follow.
Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication.

....waiting for the version with the ability to start at X points from current price, and Line color for TP (and hopefully SL). These options I believe will be critical to being profitable in the long term if used in a kind of semi auto mode.

checking your trade explorer, quite a fans, all account with same broker feed. any personal inquiry about their live account ?, I think it's a good time to put real forward test with them, since they reintroduce the deposit bonus. been try my best to study most of your marty system lately, and had same view as broketrader said, it's way too complicated I think . well, your result are still going, and it's been almost 3 months, right ? I'd love to use my own account and put some report upon these thread, but I do need more clear view upon the EA setting .

Careful, man. I do tempted to try it on live. but at least you must try first on demo.
Keep in mind, just 1 cycle a day is more than enough, you can put the measure up, with support and resistance, or daily high low. But if you decided to run with anytime, you'd have to be careful.



To all, I'm very sorry for my inactivity. My day job needs some attentions these days... But that doesn't mean I stop enhancing this EA, I'll keep doing it, infact I got another one, that is still tested. This something to do with grids, and the result is far better than Martingale Tunnel.

My 'Another TM' got broke on Friday, I forgot to turn off during Labour Day...
Stay calm and wait.... I'll try to keep up...

no worries, real problem comes only when we deny the risk with forex trading, especially when using martingale type. many traders may despite these method, but in real fact many people still got profit from it. which means lot increasement process do had real potential for small amount deposit, to burst our profit gain.
if you had an skype id, would you mind to add me on your cycle , my skype are exact same as FF id.
had several trading method tested with most ecn account type, especially with tickmill account. the only thing remain with these tunnel it may news filter feature, linked with FF newscal indi perhaps. looking forward to see the new grid system, if only I had solid knowledge with coding would love to give a hand, but for a moment I may able to put minor contribution with suggestion and help with the forward testing process.

Hi radityo,
Will it be possible to enchance your EA to include these two features?
Sometimes we may fall into the range bound for long and we want to maximise our stay in the game by reducing the lot sizes. Once the price get out of the range usually should not be a problem to run 2xSL or higher. May I suggest to have the following type of lot size increament, or similar.

The following table SL=10 is just example, it can be X pips or points user set.

Seems promising and better than Tunnel Martingale, well, in my opinion. I don't deny the risk behind (we all do trading, then we should accept the risk), but still less risk than Tunnel Martingale. I don't know what to give name to this EA, but as of now, named as GridTraps.

Even I do on LIVE account for past 3 days. Too brave, huh??
