there are NO online forex broker are regulated locally, all online forex broker are outside Malaysia..
check your forex broker is under which regulator (CySec, FCA, ASIC, JFA, etc..)

Rakuten Securities Australia is under ASIC regulator
It's also part of Rakuten Securities Global (Japan)

Rakuten Malaysia is only for stock trading online...

There are actually legitimate forex brokers in Malaysia which are the banks. Some do have online platform (not MT4) but I doubt if they will give you leverage at all. So, basically you need about 100k USD to trade 1 contract of EUR/USD pair.

There are also prime brokers (Maybank and so on). I am sure they offer leverage for forex and other products. However, for prime brokers you need around 10 million minimum.

Thanks for posting, but this is a martingale system. Very very risky.

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).

spot on, improving winning percentage is what I have been working on, the current EA is using Bband which is great in riding trend but often caught by reversal which explain the outlier event that u mentioned.

So, I have added hedging features to counter this and manage to obtain the following backtest result.

[attachmentid=9748667]

any good strategy that u can share with me?

Usually in order to increase your winning rate you will need to add a filter or two. It depends, it could be indicator based, price action based, time based, and so on. Your number of trades will be reduced resulting from the increment of your winning rate. It's a good thing because your risk adjusted return is improved and you can actually risk more per trade, and of course make more money.

As for my strategy, it's a trend following system, based on momentum and price action. My winning rate is around 50% and no martingale (because my risk-reward ratio changes all the time, not fixed). I trade on high timeframes and very diversified (Forex, Equities, Indices and Crypto). Very stable and very scalable.

My recommendation is you have to find a system that works on various markets if you want to smoothen your equity curve (through diversification). By smoothening your equity curve, you could risk more and gain more rewards.
However, if you want to trade only on one pair or two is also fine. Your strategy will be optimised for that particular pair. The drawbacks are, you will not be able to scale well in the future (forex should not be a problem), could not diversify to smoothen your equity curve. You equity curve would be volatile and not suitable for placing a higher risk on a trade.

Rule of thumb:
1. Diversify
2. Look for a way to smoothen your equity curve.
3. Improve your risk adjusted return.

Why not open the next position with an equivalent lot size or even lower lot instead, until the equity grows a bit more? I mean, if you're looking for even more stability rather than boosting profitability quickly.

Because it doesn't work that way. The system will not be a profitable system without the martingale.

100 pips spread @@

what was the currency you traded on that time?

I am using IC markets currently

Can't remember. I contacted their support and their support showed that at that point of time the spread is such for that pair, which is ridiculous. Many hit their stoplosses.
It only happened once and it was years ago.

Is there a way to view an MT4 account (with server, password and account number) without having MT4 installed?
especially for copying trades...

Why don't you install MT4? It's easier because you can copy using an EA written in mql language.

Can you explain your situation on why you could not use MT4? Maybe we could help.

Like the other member suggested, If web client is available then it would be easy.

In case your broker does not provide the web interface, just use the MT4 to write the trades into a file (local directory) and use cTrader to read them.

May I know which bank?

Because I am planning to withdraw a huge amount (> RM60k) next month. Closing the account.

I have been withdrawing smaller amounts using Public Bank without any problem. I am just afraid there will be a problem if I withdraw a larger amount.
