Please understand everyone, just like @zarni says it doesn´t need to be a mart/grid simply beacuse there is a net pips loss on the acc. Trading doesn´t come down to how many pips you make, but rather the position size you use for the 'winning pips'. Let´s say ju trade small (0,01 lots) all day an lose money (-50 pips alltogether) and then you make money on the last trade for the day, and this times you trade with 1 lot (100 times bigger pos. size) but only make + 20 pips. Then you will still have neg. pips for the day, but have made money in total. I have seen this many times, so it doesn´t need to be a mart or grid simply because there is a neg. pip balance. I could have to to with how you positions size in your trading.
Thanks VPTrader. I thought I explained this pretty clearly.
Apparently not clearly enough for some. Perhaps repeating it a few more times may sink in.

Well if you increase trade size to cover the loss
It is martingale

yes but that is not what i did....read again please
anyway. why do i even waste my time on this forum.
good luck with your EAs and MT4s.
just want to see if the 'masterguru' will take the challenge. if he acknowledges you can all see it's not martingale.
Oct 22, 2015 at 10:16
@zarni Haha. No worries. I know you tell the truth here, so just wanted to clear this up so my e-mail account doesn´t need to be harrassed by all the comments ;)
@togr Stating it exactly as you do, I agree, but that´s not the case here. It´s not about 'covering loss' it´s about running two (or more) different and separate strategies in one account.
Strategy A: Not the best opportunities, but only 0,01 lots and perhaps you lose pips/money. Perhaps you would like to have some activity, not to get bored or perhaps other reason.
Startegy B: The absolut best opportunites which of course comes very seldom. You hit hard with bigger size and make money, but perhaps less in pips as you have lost on Strategy A.
SUM: YOU MAKE MONEY BUT LOSE PIPS. NO MART OR GRID INVOLVED SINCE THOSE ARE SEPARATE STRATEGIED AND TRADES. NO AVERAGING DOWN OR INCREAING LOSSES WHAT SO EVER. I HOPER THIS IS UNDETSTOOD NOW.

Yes, correct, if you WIN on the 1 lot (i.e. 100 times bigger lot size).
But what if you LOSE on that 100x larger lot size...? As there is not guarantee that the 100x lot size will win.
Do you go for 10 lots or even 100 lots sizes with the next position? What if those become losers, too...?
Well, the answer is MARGIN CALL...
P.S. Even if you state that the larger lot sizes belong to another strategy, it does not change the facts. Position sizes don't care to which strategy they belong. In essence: it is still a MartiGrid.

OK this is the last time I will repeat this.
The trade was this opening a trade averaging in at multiple levels regardless of whether price was going up or down.
Short term strategy traded same instrument thereby netting out (closing the position) and reopening it within a minute or so.
Since at that point position was in drawdown it marked a loss at X times the pips for the multiple small positions.
The single position was closed some weeks later at a profit which more than made up for the loss previously booked.
The bottom line is MT4 is a retail platform and it counts stuff as separate positions. That does not happen on insitutional and this situation does not exist on institutional platforms.
Now I ask again shiesterguru will you aplogize if I show here statement of all trades.
If not be quiet.

if you average in using multiple small positions and lose on that and then trade one big position equal in size to the aggregate small ones and win much more you will show negative pip count. which is what happened to me. XAU magnifies that because of the way myfxbook treats XAU (which they are fixing now based on my suggestions). nothing to do with martingale.
Actually what you do is the definition of a martingale technique, which is adding to a losing position and increasing the size of the previous trades.
Well said. Apparently and admittedly it IS a MARTIGRID strategy... ('average in using multiple small positions and lose on that and then trade one BIG position...')
As suspected... Cost averaging, i.e. adding to losing positions even larger position(s) IS MARTIGRID by definition and it is a very risky business. It is good until it is not good...
Just look at VONTOGR's, alias Tomas' famous (or infamous) Caesar strategy. It was a Superstar until the moment it has become a Falling Star, costing many-many people a lot of money by losing their funds, plus the generous fees paid to Mr. Tomas. And it was not even MartiGrid, 'just' a simple Grid.
No SERIOUS investor would consider a MARTIGRID strategy suitable for SERIOUS funds. Period.
@zarni
After admitting 'cost averaging' with larger and larger position sizes, i.e. using MARTIGRID, I don't care about Trade History. And nobody else should care about it. You said: 'you think i'd be dumb enough to trade my own funds 250k worth on martingale??'
Well, yes, apparently you are dumb enough doing just that.
Actually after lying about the nature of the strategy (i.e. not being MARTIGRID) and 'lecturing' me about the opposite, YOU should be the one coming with a HUGE APOLOGY.

I think you misunderstood the title: It says AT LEAST TWO YEARS (of trade history), not TWO DAYS...
If you did not misunderstand the title, then your rambling does not belong here...

1. This thread was started almost 3 years ago .

3. On those 56 pages there was only ONE strategy which had fulfiiled the stated criteria. Since that strategy was not run at a mainstream and reputed broker, its authenticity is questionable. But lets assume that it was not handcrafted by the broker (I have seen many fabricated 'real' and 'verified' MyFxBook accounts over the past years).

Very Nice comment : )
That guy whose telling everybody how to trade... and lost 2 years accumulating profits within 1 day!
Dec 11, 2015 at 12:19
1st of all, 2 year live records! not demo or backtest!
2nd every dd calculation offered by myfxbook or the integrated mt4 are always wrong!
myfxbooks calcs p/l from closed orders! read the blog, so if you use the ftp publisher with 1440 setting, you cant get the real dd, because there no realtime p/l records! you publish your records once a day...
this is the reason why myfxbook cant calc dd and profit factor if you have 100% winner OR opened order(s) which are never closed!
the only way to get the real drawdown you must record the p/l of the open order(s)per pair to an csv file with following fields!
datetime, newhighopenprofitloss, AccountBalance(), AccountEquity(), AccountMargin(), AccountFreeMargin(), (AccountEquity()/AccountMargin()*100)
all other calculations are hypothetical and display not the real p/l of the current open orders!
so a grid based system can be lower dd in real and a old school trading style with ftp publisher 1440 may have an higher dd as myfxbook calcs!

It is just so-so funny Jean-Pierre... You write in your bio: 'I'm a Forex Trader that trades in multiple countries, main countries is Georgia I trade all around the world. It's good money and I stay at home to work. I love to help people become rich.'
Just look at your REAL account's screenshot...!! -83% DD on a 100(!) USD account...
Well, I wonder where do you live where this performance counts as 'good money'. Also, I wonder how do you help people becoming rich... Actually it is not funny... simply pitiful and pathetic...
