Since in Europe you're only allowed a leverage of up to 1:30 for standard accounts, I had to make multiple sets to fit this low leverage.

The pre-2.37 default set was good for the most part, but it had some issues for 1:30 like high drawdown and even a crash on august 2020, so I modified some inputs to make it a bit safer, and it survives 2021, 2020 and 2019 with no problem.


I've tested this in a standard IC Markets account in 1:25 since it won't let me test in 1:30, that's why it has a margin level of 81.13%, but at 1:30 it will stay over 100%.


The profit isn't insane but I feel like this is the best a martingale can do with this leverage.

Pending entry disabled, MnProfitToClose set to 2, MaxTrades for martingale set to 5, Step is changed to 25 with 1.1 increase coefficient.

I've got the same results with 1:25 leverage:

You can also set "Min margin level %" = 100 to avoid messages "not enough money to open min lot". It will not affect trading results.

Thank you!
