Martingale strategy

The Martingale strategy feature controls how the lot size is rounded when the master and the slave account have very different balances.

If there is a significant difference in balance or equity between the two accounts, the calculated lot size on the slave account may be rounded down. For example, if trades of 0.02 and 0.04 lots are placed on a master account with 4000 USD, a standard copier would open 0.01 and 0.01 lots on a slave account with 1000 USD, which no longer reflects the progression of the master. With this feature enabled, the copier opens 0.01 and 0.02 lots instead, so the martingale progression of the master is preserved.

The same option also exists directly on the copier as Adjust lot size based on martingale multiplier (see Copiers). Adding it as a feature lets you enable or disable it per symbol.

Settings

• Enable martingale strategy: Turns the rounding adjustment on for this copier. Disabled by default.

• Add symbol configuration: Enable or disable the adjustment for a specific symbol. A symbol entry overrides the global setting of this feature.

This feature only changes how the lot size is rounded. It does not increase your lot size after a loss and it does not create additional trades. If you are looking for an automatic lot increase after losing trades, see Progressive trade sizing.

For martingale strategies it is also recommended to keep Open retry enabled on the copier, so a failed entry of the progression is retried instead of being lost.
