Martingale Robot

Description

This robot is based on the martingale strategy.

This code is a cAlgo API sample.

The "Sample Martingale Robot" creates a random Sell or Buy order. If the Stop loss is hit, a new     order of the same type (Buy / Sell) is created with double the Initial Volume amount. The robot will continue to double the volume amount for  all orders created until one of them hits the take Profit. After a Take Profit is hit, a new random Buy or Sell order is created with the Initial Volume amount.

Hi. Please help me provide code in this cBot to change SL/TP values to system current ATR, each time a new trade is generated.

Thanks.

Hi Guys

What part of the original code do I have to change where by this bot will only go either long or short depending on what I change it to??

I do not want it to go random each time just only 1 way at a time depending on what I set it to.

Thanks

Add To Reverse on loss trade, good for trend following bad for lateral

It would be great if you put a moving average to open favorable transactions, that way it would be less risky to bust the account.

Hi, C Team,

Happy new year 2019!.  I want to set up this robot to take small profits all day long with many or hundereds of trades though out the day.

When USD/EUR  Closes it automatically switches to Asian markets during night trading. I want to set a automatic system with 5G connectivity to carry out my system night and day.

Kindly let me know the best way to execute it, I have all the hardwares and 5G set just need the C robots tuned to this mission.

Kind Regards

John

[@Rog2548] and @[bhagya3udana856] 

You have to round to the nearest 1000. you can BUY/SELL 1000, 2000 but not 1500

 

(int)(1000*Math.Floor(Position.Volume*2.5/1000))

Martingale is just an empirical method. This has nothing to do with the finance theory and science. If you want a real cBot you must find a solution for stop opening positions when the market is in range positions. This can do just if you know financial mathematics. A good example is to use just 3 indicators RSI, Simple Moving Average and Bollinger Band combined with financial mathematics.  I make this with a 90%  winning of trades. You don't need a lot of entries, just the good and surely entries.

this bot shows false profit because of BUG in: OnPositionsClosed

when you start new trade in OnPositionsClosed backtest just give you false win trade

thats if you use the: m1 bars from servers

in backtest settings

use: tick data from server and you will see a better results not false one from m1 bars

and the results are scary not 1k to milion but milion to zero

Please traders help me. I want to add a limit of 4 trades on this bot. What is the code for that ? I'm not a programmer. I want this cbot to double my position 4 times in a row if the trade is loser, after 4 negative trades, i want this bot to start from initial amount with a random trade. What is the code for that ? Please help me. My email is Amantalpur007@gmail.com Believe me, if someone is willing to help me, i shall tell him/her the perfect method of using martingale with 200% per month. I'm not trying to tempt someone. I just want to share with him/her my experience of martingale, if one is willing to listen otherwise please help me. What ever favor you ask for, I'll do it. I need this badly

I love Martingales, in Backtesting, but not when they eventually trash my Real account, even a tiny one! However overall I have made money, just not as easily as I had hoped, but it is worth exploting, I think?

I also persevere with them, trying to get one of the many variants just right. Thanks for sharing this! ;)

@bhagya3udana856 

Try this: 5 / 2 instead of 2.5

 ExecuteOrder((int)position.Volume * 5 / 2, position.TradeType);

I want to change the Posision multiplying factor from 2 to 2.5. I don't know programming but i changed the 2 in to 2.5 in calgo and compiled after i got two error massage 

1. best overloaded method match for calgo .robot.martingale robot

2. Cannot convert from double to long

Please tell me how to do that

Amazing results, but don't really like the random trades. Does anyone have a version to al least take long trades on uptrends, say combined with a MA and short trades on a downtrend?...

Click, care to share your version?

Thanks

Like this bot/strategy, but probably too risky to use a basic version. Trailing stop on this bot is not a good idea I think, since the point is that if one trade goes with loss, the next one will make you go with profit by doubling the volume and so on... So it will be much like gambling :)  Made another version of it and backtested it with profit from december 2012 to august 2016 on tick data with commission 30 (EURUSD in demo account starting capital 5000 USD) :)  Same with 1000 USD january 2016 to august 2016 :)  Still trying to make it work on other currencies with low starting capital though... :D

please add trailing stop - after many attempts of backtest some are amazing some are really crap and result in a loss

In backtesting this robot works good but in live test sometimes the robot close a trade and somehow doesent open a new one so i need to stop the bot and start it from new.

@cservenak

could you manage to add "trailing stop" to this bot?

CH
chiripacha · 9 years ago

astoundingly good results (to my opinion) with GPDJPY m20, Initial Volume 10000, Stop Loss and Take Profit 40 40, Starting  Balance USD 2000 (on a DEMO Spotware cAlgo). Net Profit starting from 02/03/2015 to 27/03/2015 USD 124,53 means about 6% in less than a month.

 

And that bot is free! What do you think?

I made a backtest on...

  • EURCHF M5,
  • 2014 + jan15. 10000 eur
  • Net profit: 7054 eur.
  • Balance DD 30%.

Straight line up. I like it.

But how to upload pictures here??
