New Martin Hedged Strategy with Take-Profit Reentries and MA Signals
Summary
The New Martin expert advisor begins by opening opposite buy and sell positions in an account configured for hedging. When a position closes at take profit, the system opens a replacement position in the same direction. This can leave a losing position alongside a profitable sequence. The strategy then uses the intersection of two moving averages as a signal to open a larger position in the losing position’s direction, seeking to offset the accumulated loss.
The description refers to a configurable loss-percentage measure based on the gap between balance and equity, but it does not explain the calculation or give parameter values. It provides no backtest, risk limits, or performance evidence. Because it adds exposure to the losing side with an increased lot, losses and equity drawdown can grow if price does not reverse or the moving-average signal arrives late. The method also depends on hedging support and transaction-event handling in the trading platform.

- A moving-average intersection signals a larger position in the direction of the losing trade.
