Moving-Average Martingale Strategies with Basket Controls
Summary
The expert advisor described here uses a moving average to determine entries and offers two martingale variants. After a loss, one variant opens a larger trade in the opposite direction; the other opens a larger trade based on whether price is above or below the moving average, regardless of the prior trade’s direction. The system is described as acting on the open candle’s price, and includes configurable trade size, multiplier, stop, target, and trading hours.
Optional controls include closing a basket when it reaches a specified profit or loss threshold, money-based take profit and trailing settings, and a break-even feature. The description gives parameter ranges and suggests a 15-minute timeframe and demo use, but provides no backtest, live results, or comparison of the two modes. Increasing position size after losses can compound exposure; the listed controls do not demonstrate that losses are limited in practice. The document explains configuration options, not a validated trading edge.
Key ideas

- The expert advisor includes stop, target, trailing, break-even, and trading-hour settings.
