I have made a small adjustment to the martingale settings to try and smooth out, reduce the DD ,and increase profits.

I left the initial step size but reduced the step coefficient and have added another 1 trade

I have run various back test from 1.1.2019 and all looked good.

Obviously by doing this it can increase the sensitivity and make it riskier but currently it seems to have decreased the DD and increased profit.

Would be great to get some additional input if these changes are too risky or if there is a way to improve on this.

Thanks

Trying the live demo set I noticed that with accounts over € 50000 the exposure and the relative DD is very high. You always risk too much. Once a certain substantial gain has been reached, the gains and risks should be reduced. The calculation 0.01 x 1000 on paper would be correct, but it would be better to be able to reduce it as equity increases. what do you think about it?

That's a good idea, when the account grows bigger.
As it is still a risky strategy, i want to minimize the risk in loosing too much and will withdraw regularly.

Yes I agree with you . I also noticed this. Although the increase in risk is relative, I believe that reducing it, the higher the profit, the better. So that we benefit from the increase in profit to reduce the risk little by little

I think it will be necessary to re-optimize the set MT5_EURUSD_M5_DefaultPlusPending A_Martinga....set for MT5 EA version 2.27. It is not clear how to set up the TDI.

Drago, just drop settings to defaults and load the attached set (for v2.18), it will work.

Hi! :)

no, it didn't hit SL in 2019, but in 2018. But you are right, TP of 144 almost never gets reached.

I'm happy to say, i'm running CP on 1k live account since 1 week now. Of course with IB Link from Documentation.

I got 3 new Sets for you now. Unfortunately i couldn't get Martingale out of that Strategy without cutting the wins so i decided to just shift the Risk a bit. Screenshots are for backtest time 2019/20 for all 3 Sets. All tests were done on ICM Raw Spread Live account.

I also observed that TDI seems to just cut a lot wins and increases DD, so i deceded to just drop TDI. I couldn't find another setting to see Trendchanges earlier yet, but it seems it's just not needed. Besides that all other settings are Moneymanagement related.

1.) This Set has double initial Lotsize, but lower Martingale Risk. As well there are some other changes to MM. Tested with 1:100, 200ms execution Time.

2.) This Set has 5% Risk per Trade, but even lower Martingale Risk. As well 1:100, 200ms execution Time.

3.) I run this set live. 1:25, 200ms execution Time. As well MM changes.

Please let me know what you think! :)

Kunta, which period did you use for optimization?

Here is your 1st set in 2019-2021 (IC-Markets Live):

So, DD is not as low as you said :)

oh yes, i tested until 01.01.21 only. However the other two sets are ok also for 2021. :)

Optimization period was 2019/2020.

Updated set-files for v2.30 have been uploaded.

Trying the live set I noticed that with a small account (1000 euro) open trade very small. I want to encrease the risk e to try this but when I change the voice (fix lot for 1000) the volume of opened trade not change.

Why?

Once a trade is open the EA wil not increase the lot but chen you close the trade the next trade will be the size you wanted to
