I made an app for experimenting with martingale, anti-martingale, soft martingale and study the effect various variants of these methods would have on your gains.
You can play around with it here:

Gurudeva, this strategy lacks power. It wastes a lot of margin. Why? The losing orders are at the far side, while the winners are the near side. And the distance in between the winners and the losers is way too big. It will take me some time to explain this in details. I have one EA doing this. It is a very nice one, but it bounds you to run it at the best times possible. Just before the movements. And that is damn hard to catch.

Your money is at great danger, dude. Why not spend it on a hooker instead...

Tell me what you think, please:
An example:

Choice a price level , create a 10 pips box, go short below the box, go long above the box. Take profit 30 pips.
It's a stop and reverse system.
Entry lot
1)0.1 = profit 30
2)0.1= profit 30-10 =20
3)0.1 = profit 30-20 = 10
4)0.1 = profit 30-30 = 0
5)0.15 = profit 45 - 40 = 5
6)0.2 = profit 60 -15-40 = 5
7)0.3 = profit 15
8) and so on....
It's a very light lots increment, you could get also 20 consecutive losses until it reach our take profit, but anyway a certain point you will stop to add position and you will wait the target profit that can be a loss as well...
In the meanwhile we will compound any small profit...

Gurudeva, here is what exactly will happen to you. The idea is good, BUT, the delussion pops out due to a poor math made by the stragiests... For short periods of time, that idea will work. 1-2-3 months maybe. You will be very excited, making money. Lots of money. One day, you will see how your account is no more. That is what is going to happen with your idea. I do have an ea that is doing exactly that. So, I am speaking only experience based.

What you can do?

1. Set a total SL target. It surely will get hit 2-3-4 times a year. Per pair. To avoid the inevitable crash. You can still be profitable. Yet, getting out of the danger with that strategy is a lot harder than you might imagine.

2. Trade only the big movement days. Than you will be safe. With this strategy, you have to enter only when they move it big. If you do know how to locate that and never use it outside those days, you are ok. I never managed to locate those days...

3. 10 pips in between both lines is too low. Every month, on every pair, you get 40-50 hits with the 10 pips distance you are asking about. I would suggest 20 as a standard. 20 pips of a distance gets a lot of hits too. But 10 pips is just madness...

Is there anybody who tried to mix martingale with compounding?
Remember :
- Martingale is losing on the long period, it will blow your account, but is winning is the short period.
- Compounding is highly winner on the long period .

Please before to answer, read carefully the whole thread or at least my first post.
We already know martingale is losing on the long period and it will blow the account.

This is only an example of how we can take advantage of mixing martingale and compounding.
I'm not here to teach anything , just to discuss, to improve , this can be possible only through your help/reviews.
I just want to remind you that all of this is just an example , and what i'm gonna consider is not the whole balance but just a portion, like just a trade.
Our risk is 100 dollars.
We're gonna risk 80 pips( or800) to earn 2 pips(or 20). Our target is to reach 200 consecutives winning trades earning 13082dollars(compounding) or 100 consecutives winning trades earning 1111 dollars.
To do it we have two possibilities:
- You can risk all 80 pips in the same trade anytime earning 2 pips, you will have a very high winning trades probability and obvious you can reach a big consecutive winning trades.
- you can split 80 pips in 3 trades(10-20-40), first trade you will risk 10 pips to earn 2 pips( 20%), if it go wrong you will make the second one risking 20 pips to earn 4 pips( you 're earning only 20% of you risk), if it go still wrong you enter risking 40 pips earning 8 pips( 20%).
That is the classic martingale.
The probability to reach you stop loss is 0.025% , but it will happens and it will blow your money to risk.
But can we do something in the meanwhile? Yes, thruogh the use of compounding we can earn a lot, after50 or 100 or 200 trades.

Please share your ideas to improve this system, here we didn't considered spread or tecnical analyses.

Hello Gurudeva and others.

Prior to this, another great thread already discuss this. Does the martingale system really work?. Believe it or not, it is one of the best reference (at least for me) regarding Martingale. In that thread, there are both kind of people. One who advocates martingale, and one who against it.

And this another thread inspires me a lot: Lot size calculator for good money management. It is one of my earliest favorite thread here in FF.

Here is my own modified calculator from the original version in the thread above:

So, the calculator is self-explanatory. You just need to be disciplined to the rules you create in the calculation. Hope it makes sense.

Hi guys I crated EA which is buying or selling against the trend and automaticaly close all positions on corections.
I have watched your video. Very smart approach, but you are TOO SLOW in your TPs. This is where your improvement lays.

Any 3-day trend is likely to cause enormous troubles to the balance. Because you are too slow in TPs. And there are like 10 days trend movements, as we recently saw in EURUSD, for example.

Once you improve, you will realize there is no need to ask people for their money, to trade their money, as you are suggesting in the video...

DaPerk, there is NO PROBLEM or ISSUE with your lot-size sequence here. The problem is WHERE DO YOU START IT? Where exactly? You have to wait. A lot. Before you start it.

The moment when the rate is coming closer to the last trades of your lot-size sequence, where the counter trend grid gets exhausted and the upcoming consequences might get pretty out of control, that moment... will destroy your waiting powers. That is why, back-testing such systems is nothing, but pure waste of time and energy. Most of the traders cannot face that kind of a pressure. That is why it works only in back-testing.

It can also works when having at least 1 mil USD account and NOT TRYING TO GET 50%-80% monthly returns, as suggested in the video you shared about your EA. Getting 1-2% a month, with the 1 mil account, would be just fine for you...

Here's a small project you might be interested in.Find a good random number generator. There are many available on the web. Set the out put to be either "1" or "0". (Win or lose).Generate at least 500 numbers, or more if you wish.Run your martingale against the output and see how quickly you bust out. the results may be surprising.
