Under 1.25 Martingale Multiplier for Looped Trades

[Leeds7878]

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know a workaround for creating a martingale EA that uses a multiplier of less than 2?

Currently when I put 1.25 in the multiplier field the EA will only trade with 1x the lots regardless of the number of trades in the loop.

Ideally I need a way to make the 1.25 multiplication accumulate on past trades, see below;

How i'd like it to trade

Initial trade; 0.01, 2nd trade 0.01, 3rd trade 0.02, 4th trade 0.02, 5th trade 0.02, 6th trade 0.03

How it trades

Initial trade; 0.01, 2nd trade 0.01, 3rd trade 0.01, 4th trade 0.01, 5th trade 0.01, 6th trade 0.01

I do have some code code from a previous EA - does anyone know where this could be entered to get the desired result?

Massive thanks to anyone that can help!

Cheers!

This is the code that may help - My skills are very limited so dont know where to start with it.

Calculate_Lot = NormalizeDouble(Order_Size,LotDigits) ;
if(NormalizeDouble(Order_Size,LotDigits)<minlot)
{
Calculate_Lot = minlot ;
}
if(Calculate_Lot>maxlot)
{
Calculate_Lot = maxlot ;
}
if(Multiplier<1.5)
{
if(bs<20)
Calculate_Lot = NormalizeDouble(Calculate_Lot * MathPow(Multiplier,bs),LotDigits) ;
else
Calculate_Lot = NormalizeDouble(buylots * Multiplier,LotDigits) ;
if(Calculate_Lot>maxlot)
{
Calculate_Lot = maxlot ;
}
if(Calculate_Lot<minlot)
{
Calculate_Lot = minlot ;
}
}
else
if(Multiplier>=1.5)
{
if(bs > 0)
{
Calculate_Lot = NormalizeDouble(buylots * Multiplier,LotDigits) ;
}
if(Calculate_Lot>maxlot)
{
Calculate_Lot = maxlot ;
}
if(Calculate_Lot<minlot)
{
Calculate_Lot = minlot ;
}
}
return(Calculate_Lot);
}

I'm not a programmer so I have no idea how to read that code. What I can suggest is that you can create a whole structure to calculate the lot size and then embed it into your launching blocks. However, it is not a trivial one. Do you have an initial project to begin with?

@leeds7878 the system rounds off the lot amount, and the more precise value is lost -> accumulation will never happen.

You'll need 2 separate variables for the lot amount: one precise value for the calculations, and one rounded value for the actual trade

@roar Cheers for the reply mate! Hadn’t seen this.

So how would that look on FXDreema?

Did anyone solve this please?

This seems to be to do with it - MQL4-Grid lot increment fail , but I can't figure out how to do this in fxdreema.

Any help please?
