i would admit the element of martingale is there, even though i would prefer to call this pips averaging, this system is 100% coded by me, so I have the flexibility to adjust the on how the averaging was used to get me out from a bad trade.
As for an example of the flexibility that I mentioned, if the system recognizes a bad trade, it will close the losing trade and wait for the next signal to open with higher lot size to cover the loss incurred on earlier trade, so hedging element also can be used in this system.
I am currently working on two system, the first one is by using volume to open trade, another one is by using is by using reversal and pattern, both of the project was to increase the accuracy of the system effectively decreasing the possibility of martingale.
The reason I posted the earlier post was for me to listen and exchange for improvisation and implementation. 😀
Based on my experience in algo trading, for a martingale system to work well, you need to have high winning rate.
In your case, it's 60%+ which is considered okay. If you can improve your winning rate and maintain your reward-risk ratio, you are good to go.
You have to make sure your consecutive losses are toned down. Yours is 8, which is considered high. However your average is 2, which shows that the 8 is an outlier event. So, it will happen only once in a blue moon, and will possibly blow up your account.
Overall, an okay system. Just don't risk everything. Always withdraw from time to time.
Let me know if you need anything regarding system development and coding/strategy optimisation (not parameter optimisation).
