Looking for a little help with martingale

Martingale Pyramid should be stop at last at reached final a fixed profit of (maybe) 100 dollar

small strategie before integrate the martingale

IF TEMA [1) crosses over TEMA [4] then

buy 1 contract at market

Endif

Set target $profit 100

Set stop $loss 10

And now the martingale to integrate (not correct code lines, sure, i m absolute beginner, hope you can understand what i want to use)

Target StrategyProfit 100 Dollar

at first Set StrategyProfit = 0

If after first trade strategyprofit <0 then// (after first trade = – 10)

set positionsize new = corrrect postionsize to get: the Target StratgegyProfit + the loss from first trade (100+10)

then start trade again

If second trade loss so do again

find correct positionsize to get : the Target StratgegyProfit + the loss from first + loss from second trade (100+10+10)

and so again again until

IF StrategyProfit = 100 or StrategyProfit = – 100 Then

Quit //strategy

In this way above you win sometime 100 Dollar or you losse 100 Dollar (but not more, and the danger of martingale is limited

result: + 100 dollar you have won

result: – 100 dollar you strategy isn´t quite good

all numbers above are examples to variabel at any strategy

Can understand? Can help?

In order to calculate properly the lot for each trade, the target and stop must be set in points instead of money:
```
Set target pprofit 100 
Set stop ploss 10
```
I can make a code snippet for this of course, but be aware that lot size are always rounded up to the next whole number so you’ll never get the exact same profit/loss in money than your last trade, is it a problem?

so i thank you very much. I m happy that you help me.

So lets begin.
```
// OriginalTrade: Code without Martingale
// Tradingsystem TuesdayLongThursday DAX 1 Euro Mini TimeFrame 1H
// with martingale

// OriginalTrade
MA1 = Average [1]
MA2 = Average [2]
c1 = Ma1>MA2

t1 = time = 180000
t2 = time = 090000

d1 =dayofweek = 2
d2 = dayofweek = 4

If   d1 And t1 and c1 THEN
buy 1 Contract At Market
Endif


If d2 and t2 then
sell at market
endif

Set Stop PLoss 60 // from Trade
Set Target PProfit 150 // from Trade
```
And now: please integrate the martingale. little bit more complex then my first question

Once StrategyProfit = 0

Set Stop Loss StrategyProfit = 600 points // from Strategy !

Set Target StrategyProfit = 1.500 points // from Strategy !

in this new more compexer way, new codelines needed

If the TradeProfit from first trade > 0 = then

cumulate the winnings to StrategyProfit And start OriginalTrade again

Endif

If after first trade the TradeProfit < 0 then

cumulate the Losses to StrategyProfit And Start OriginalTrade again with PostionSize(new) to reach the Target TradeProfit // to find the Positionsize(new) is one codingproblem, i told

Endif

If the TradeProfit from second trade > 0 = then

cumulate the winnings to StrategyProfit And start OriginalTrade again

Endif

If after second trade the TradeProfit < 0 then

cumulate the Losses to StrategyProfit And Start OriginalTrade again with PostionSize(new) to reach the Target TradeProfit // to find the Positionsize(new) is one codingproblem, i told

Endif

and so one and so one and so and so to : n-trade

Stops and Targets see above

IF StrategyProfit = -600 Or + 1.500 points Then

Quit Strategy

Endif // Last If Endif makes Stop PLosses and Target PProfits of the Strategy redundant but more stringent

Understand? Can help?

the OriginalTrade in PRT Backtest is positiv, testet 15.000 units (backt to 23.01.15 to yet, included up and down in dax 1 euro)

kind regards

Martingale sooner or later fails, would only work with infinite money.

A question, the robot starts on Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. and finish on Thursday at 9:00 p.m.?

Does not it make more sense?
```
If   d1 And t2 and c1 THEN

IF c1 THEN
....


If d2 and t1 then
sell at market
....
```

example

first trade = – 30 points

to reach the trade profit of second trade von 150 points the correct new positionsize must be not a double like *2 but rather

1 point plus x points to egalisize the losses from first trade

origin target = 150 points plus 30 points losses = 180 points

180/150 = x/1

180/150 = 1.2

Postionsize(new) = 1.2 (is not double)

second trade loos 40 points

the correct posistionssize(new) of third trade is:

losses from first trade = 30 plus losses from second trade= 40 points plus 150 target = 220 points

220/150 = x/1

x = 1,47 (is not double)

and so one to : n-trade

can you coded this?
