It does a couple of things like very good few stable martingales strategies 1) Find good entry 2) Have a determinsintic approach to grid 3) Have a proper approach for Take Profit. Of course you can use wrong settings and it is easy to blow account with a Martingale bot. Also such bots expect market reversals so not sure what were you asking. In any case, good luck !!I'm following up with your work and recently I'm using your cBot in my demo account. I did countless backtest's and everyone gave me satisfactory results, congratulations for your work. I'll keep using the demo account to evaluate his behavior live. I have an excellent strategy and trend, but I do not have the necessary knowledge to create a cBot, if you are willing and with time, I can explain the step-by-step in detail so that you create the cBot and we can even merge the condition of Martingale next to my strategy, what do you think?
Sure mate, drop me an email @ "trend_meanreversion@yahoo.com" and we can carry this conversation in detail there. I don't promise anything but dependant on your strategy, i can be able evaluate if it is under my expertise of implementation and value of my time/effort.

Finally something which is looking good to earn quick bucks !!.. ( Thanks to everyone who suggested that martingale isn't always a bad option )
New version of DAX_HFT released !!
From 21 Sep 2014 - 16 Aug 2016
Total Return : 550%
Max DD : 6.5% ( balance)
Max DD : 27.8% ( equity )
Return/DD(balance): 84:1 (approx)
Return/DD(Equity): 20:1 (approx) [ So you can leverage according to your needs ]
My friend, I appreciate the work you do with your cBot's. Is this the same image from this link? /algos/cbots/show/1622
No Raphael, This one is on Index CFD ( German DAX ) . It is not the FX martingale strategy as per /algos/cbots/show/1622 . Instead you can read my main page where you can see all of my strategies -> /algos/cbots/show/1026 .Hope it is clear.

RE:
Have you ever tried equity stop loss? If account equity drops below this proportion of the account balance, then all open trades are closed immediately and exit.
Tried and tested it mate. There isn't a single Martingale strategy which will get benefitted by a tight stop loss in long run. It reduces probability of ruin for sure but doesn't help in return . It is basically like having a good thought of tight stop loss. Every trader believes that having a tight stop loss with higher risk reward is going to help him , but you need a very good entry signal for such strategies and most of the time you won't find any such strategy. So in effect tight stop loss of let's say 5 pips will just reduce your equity way more often that you would want.

RE:
How does this bot handle market reversal? I did a quick backtest and it blew the account eventually, like martingale always does.
Does this bot attempt anything different to recognise that situation?

March had a good end as well. Strategy has been doing exceptionally well since inception ( ~8months ago )
March (final): 1.85%... April has been great so far, let's see how it pans out !

Next week will be last run for it and then you guys can contact me directly regarding the cBot.
Wish me luck !!!!
@andi21 : I don't optimize my bots using cAlgo optimization tab. I start with a basic parameter settings which i feel makes sense and tweek it with a sample data ( in-sample) to get 'robust' results ( not necessarily the best ) and then try it on out of sample data and several underlyings to check it robustness . It is a lot of manual work and i have to test atleast 100 settings before i could come up with a number i am happy with [ I am a difficult person to please and i am my best critic when it comes to trading :) ]
Hi, Im interested in your Martingale cBots, how do i contact you to discuss further?

Forgot something to ask:
do you have also an real account at icmarkets and if yes how long have been there with the real account and also are you satisfied with them?
Thanks in advance.
Been with them for more than a year now. No major issues but obviously they are like other brokers and will slow you down in terms of execution, login issues etc from time to time. But overall you to have choose the best among the beasts ! cTrader hasn't become that popular yet and most of the regulated brokers don't offer it and if they do , then terms aren't attractive ( spreads, commissions, products etc.. ). I have only 2 choices to be honest ICmarket or Pepperstone. Pepperstone charges much more in terms of commissions and IC is a little better in spreads + commissions.

Hi mate, wish you best of luck! Do you plan to become signal provider on cMirror?
Thanks a lot TMC..really need all the luck i can get lol !
I can become signal provider in cMirror but not sure if it does replicate trades really well to subscribers. Last time i tried for DAX HFT, i got complaints that it can't replicate trades in their accounts due to delay/latency i suppose ( That one i can understand because DAX HFT is really a sharp tick scalper for most part ). I will give it a shot for martingale account later.

Hello trend_meanreversion,
i am watching the results of your bot in myfxbook a time long.
The performance in my opinion is great!
I am working on a bot since several months (fulltime) incl. many many days of optimization ("sadly" i got many parameters).
I got quite good results in year 2016 (i optimized for that).
And yesterday i thought i am ready to go for forward testing and i runned 2014-2016. But strangely the year 2014 and 2015 performed not good (only even). So i thought i am getting crazy because the finish is getting further away...
I wanted to ask you if you can tell us what your bot is doing to get such great results (entry, sl, tp, exit etc.)? I mean it would be awesome if you could even share the sourcecode, but we cannot expect that because you did a lot of effort to get your bot like this.
Nevertheless no matter if you could provide some details to us or not (like i said i would understand that completely if not) good luck for your live going next month (risky martingale is running :) - but i did not see much risk in the results :) )!
Best Regards
Andi21
Hi Andi21,
First of all thanks for your words of appreciation ..it really helps and keeps me motivated !
My advice to you regarding martingale systems ( without revealing any secret sauce :P )
1) Put onus on entry levels..search for over-strech in market ( probably use multi time frames to confirm )
2) Grid spacing..try to be innovative here :) ..fixed , scaled version, ATR based etc etc..
3) Try different martingale position sizing ( there are hunderds.. linear, exponetial inreasing/decreasing, multiplier, doubling etc etc )
4) Try different TP schemes ( usually Martingale systems don't have SLs like mine and that's why i call it risky )..
I would suggest you to go through all of my posts/algo/comments which i have written in cTDN forums and i am sure you will be able to find something that will help you in some way or other.
I am already running live my Risky Martingale [ but usually quite conservative so lock in quite early ..like this week i locked in only 100$ even though risky martingale in demo is up 550$ :( ]
Most important thing for martingale systems is to understand associated risk which is 100% DD !! You can't avoid that , you can just delay it ! So make most of it till the time it hasn't seen that DD ,and that's where my stable version will help me. It has quite low probability of ruin ( but of-course can blow my account ). It has survived 3 years of tick data across multiple currency pairs which give me 'faith' in it .
Hope it helps and all the best !!

Updated both V0 and V2 bots files ( /algos/cbots/show/1622 ) to make it more reliable to execution errors which i recently faced and also less updates/modify messages sent to server making it light for broker's server. Hope you will find it useful.
Also extended expiry to mid April for everyone to play around !

Just to update you guys on CurrencyStrength Bot ( i haven't shared it yet )..it is doing great and it is definitely going to be part of my live algos next month.
Attached Image (click to enlarge)
So far i am thinking to go live with -> CurrencyStrenght Bot + V2 Stable Martingale . What do you say ?
Note: Yesterday my VPS got restarted so i lost several trades and thus has to close the algo ( take a loss ) and restart again . And guess what , now my algo is not even able to execute market orders (because of some technical issue as per log ) and thus my algos are failing. I doubt that broker would have done something ( but it is not completely unlikely also ). The good thing is that i will have to put some strong error checking in the code but i am highly suspicious about brokers.

my VPS machine got restarted due to stupid Windows update so i have to restart my algo ( RISKY Martingale one). I closed all the positions (with a loss) and restarted the algo because some trades went missing.
Hoping that it could recover the loss !
