[Solved] MM Set 0.* value in Betting:Custom Sequence

[fxderrick]

Hi all,

I'm trying to insert value of 0.5, 0.25 etc into the "Sequence on Loss" under MM "Betting:Custom Sequence". The result from back testing was return with minimum lot size(i.e, 0.01 lot) instead of the input ratio, my base volume was set to 0.4 lot.

This is what I'm looking to achieve: x2 on win, x0.5 on loss, for 3 levels.
Eg:
Base volume: 0.4 lots
Loss sequence: 0.2 lots, 0.1 lots
Win sequence: 0.8 lots, 1.6 lots

[Result | Lot Size after result]:
Init size: 0.4
W | 0.8
L | 0.4
L | 0.2
W | 0.4
L | 0.2
L | 0.1
L | 0.4 (losing sequence, restart sequence)
L | 0.2
W | 0.4
W | 0.8
W | 1.6
W | 0.4 (winning sequence, restart)

I have tried Betting:Martingale, but I want the sequence to stop when the trade is losing(0.1lot) or winning(1.6lots), while Martingale only stops at x number of consecutive wins or losses.

Any alternative advice please? I have searched the forum on "Custom Sequence" but no one ask about input of less than 1 into Sequence of Loss. The Sequence on Profit works great. Thanks.

Look at the default value in Custom Sequence. These are not lots, these are times... times bigger than the initial lot. If the initial lot is 0.1, then the value of 3 means 0.3 lots

Hi fxDreema, thanks for reply. I understand and i want to multiply by half (0.5) when the trade is losing. Is the input field only allows whole number?

Interesting question, I don't know, I have to check this

It worked only with whole numbers. I changed that and now it works with values like 0.5. But also note that there is something called Lot Step, which is the minimum lot step and comes from the broker. If this value is 0.1, then you can open lots like 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, but notthing in between.

Hi fxDreema, thank you very much! It is working now.
