Suggestion FiboActiveBot - good tool with EA possibilities.

Hi Andy,

Related to this, I found that 2x only applies once. I explain myself: for example let’s sat that I start with lot 0.02 and it touches SL (ends in loses), next trade lot will be 0.04 what it’s working fine, but if this second trade also touches SL I would expect 0.08 for next trade and so on until a trade in profit is finished and after the cicle would start again with 0.02. But in reality it does 0.02, 0.04, 0.04... and always 0.04 until it restarts when a trade with profit is done.

I think that the behaviour for the base version makes sense because it is only supposed to use with only 2 trades in a row but with your custom version I don’t think it should work like that... what do you think?

Thanks again for you great work!

I'm not a big fan of martingale, but I would try too. It seems to me that a well-thought-out option like the one described is completely safe and even useful! Thank you for your work.

Thanks a lot for feedback, it means a lot to me.

Thank you for all comments about lot multiplayer. I like the idea... and even add the Martingale - why not, my purpose it
to make it work for many traders... and everyone chose right options for themself. Looks like time for V.3 :)

I'm a bit busy these days, but I will reply to comments soon today... but in brief - I'm agree with all things above! Thank
you!

Hello brother, just some suggestion if u plan to add martingale

Pls also add one more parameters "maximum number of martingale"

So we still can think and decide how many times it will do martingale

Example if set "3" , it will only do martingale 3 times

0.01 lot
0.02 lot
0.04 lot

Then it will stay at 0.04 lot

Just my thought

Thanks

This is not a good idea as it will slow down the EA.
Before EA open a new order, it need to decide what the lot size is for the new order.
This means it needs to read through the history of closed orders.
If you have been running the EA for a few months with 10 pairs, there will be lots of history. Using your suggestion,the EA needs to read the history, possibly the entire history, that it has not reach the maximum yet.
e.g. if you set 3, and there is only 2 orders so far, EA has to read the entire history to find out that it has not reach the maximum.

What I suggest using max lost size means that the EA needs to look at the history and stop as soon as it look at the last order for that pair, if it is a win continue with normal lot size. If lose, multiply and check that it did not exceed the maxLotsize.

You can use global variables in the EA to avoid reading history... or other methods also (as for example use part or the description or others). Depends on what you want...

On the other hand, I agree that max lot size is a must when implementing multipliers and it should be added but I wouldn’t never intend to leave the EA alone for more than a couple of days so for myself not to have it wouldn’t be a big problem either...
 
for me
martingale = gambling (= not trading) = is easy account blower
why do you trade manual and blow you account by hand, at least that way you will learn something.

Lot2x = on ... means that these EAs Strategy gives also many* wrong signals ( * that are enough to blow the account)
why do we focus made better signal strategy and with a better money management ratio ?

i have give some suggestions ... please read them and share good ideas .. about

personal i think this EA can give more
 
Hi all,

I'm a bit confused, what kind of MM or Martingale to add, to make it good for all of you
and keep it simple and userfriendly. I suppose, better to add something that will suitable
for everyone... I'm not keen on that way, that's why hard decision for me... Any final idea
after all thoughts on it?

My proposal:

Change Lot2x for another parameter called lot_multiplier which admits string value as 1;1.5;3;1... (; separated or other fixed symbol you prefer for separator). If 1st trade goes wrong next trade will be multiplied by first value (in this example 1), if 2nd trade goes wrong again next trade will be multiplied by second value (in this example 1.5) and so on. Default multiplier will be 1 in case a string value is not found. This way the user could choose the lot scalability. As soon a trade is closed in profit, next trade will use defined starting trade lot. This functionality I undestand it more as hedging than martingale (we are multiplying the lot for the next opposite trade).

If you would also like to implement grid martingale (I personaly wouldn’t use it considering how the signals of the EA work) then at least 2 parameters would be needed: grid spacing and martingale_multiplier. If you would like a more sophisticated martingale you could add: grid multiplier, grid trailing, max_trades, etc.

Regarding MM, you could add %risk to calculate the initial lot to be used instead of introducing the lot size directly. Let’s say thay I would like to use 1% of my balance for each trade... depending in the size of my balance the lot size would be different but the risk I want to have per trade is the same. Then we could add more filters and things to try to get the signals more accurate and so on but this opens a different and complex discussion I believe.

So, as I see it, we are speaking about 3 different things here Andy, what do you think? My 2cents would go for hedging multiplier capability :) (we have it there already with lot2x but more flexibility would be very appreciated).

To have tons of other capabilities it’s nice to try to fit everyones wishes but this doesn’t go along well with simplicity and user friendliness as you need lots of different parameters.

  1. long trend filter = trade in one way of a long trend example 4h trend or ma 200
  2. sideways filter = examines if he market is in sideways ... no trades that period
  3. dynamic SL and TP (based on atr or other better) = every pair have its own movement .. and that also change ever min = that means we must change every time SL and TP
  4. lot size also lots in % of the total account example 2% , 1% , 0.5%
  5. news filter = no trades in major news ...
  6. ask the community to share more ..good ideas ...
ps
about martingale and grid i have share my ideas in the past ... there are so many EAs based on that and all are losing EAs , if you want to blow your account do it manually and learn something about it. for me its is a non go, in other words in the wrong direction ... (=gambling)

SHOW ME ONE martingale OR grid ea THAT IS PROFITABLE IN LONG RUN.

of course you can ignore me and try it ... you just will see that i m right in the long run
