Here is the error I see in your analysis (and it is a common error): The whole presumption you state above and in a previous thread with RR and how it applies to martingale appears to be based on either the underlying price movement, the entries, ...

Does the martingale system really work?

You understood most of it. One misunderstanding is coming from the use of the term edge. You would have to define the term edge as it relates to trading a complete system. I define it as a positive expectancy over the total series of trades in a ...

Does the martingale system really work?

^^ Last 2 posters....how much volume are you doing per month for standard lots?

IC Markets

The quotes you used, none of the authors ever said that martingale did not work. And they can't do so honestly; it's like saying that combustion 'doesn't work'. What the mathematicians have all concluded is that WITHOUT AN EDGE, martingale will not ...

Does the martingale system really work?

I am trying to download 1 minute bars in a demo account, but when I open the 1 min chart for GBPAUD, the data is only about 2000 bars I have max history set to 5,120,000 bars and max bars in chart set to 650,000. That should be about 7-8 months of 1 ...

How much 1 minute historical data do you store on your servers? Some brokers seem to only go back 3-4 months or so. Is there a difference in live historical data and demo historical data, in terms of how much?

I can say after observing for several months and 300+ lots that IC Markets is extremely solid in the execution and spread department. Slippage will occur with any broker; depends mainly on volatility. but we normally use counter trend strategy, ...

If you think about it, whenever a system is working properly, you hardly ever hear about it. It is only when the system is not working, then you get all the complaints. Well-oiled machines you hardly notice they are there, just quietly moving its ...

I did not know this, as other ECN style brokers have made it clear there were no limits on open orders and some no limit on order size. My understanding is that the broker sets the max open ticket limits. Although many (especially Market Maker type ...

Exness has a 1.00 lot size limit on the cent account per order ticket. But this is not displayed on the url page or any other page that I could find. I only see the 10.00 cumulative order limit and the 50 tickets max. If you have ANY limits, you ...

mt4, build 500 was "hidden" so you didn't realize you were upgraded until the next time you restarted the platform (no advanced warning/notification), and mt4 did NOT have the 'hold alt button to adjust trade levels'. You had to uncheck "show trade ...

I must agree 100% with Crass here. Mt4 is a one-size fits many type of retail charting and algorithmic trading package. While downtime at any broker is frowned upon, especially anything longer than a couple of minutes during high volatility, it does ...

The most ironic part about complaining about a broker is not offering any real alternative. IC markets mt4 platform has been one of the more solid ones in terms of execution. No manipulation of orders, STP within 3 seconds only during high ...

Just to clarify, I wasn't suggesting getting rid of mt4 (yet anyway), but offering another platform or two along side mt4, preferably non-MQ platform, even though mt5 did resolve a lot of the ECN issues in the first place. I'm actually surprised FxO ...

In light of the recent behavior of metaquotes, is FxOpen Au or NZ planning on launching an alternative trading platform, such as cTrader? It would be nice to have an algorithmic alternative for the retail trader. It does seem like it could be a ...
