    There is lost of variations of Martingale. One that does what you allude to was 'devopled by a French mathmatician: Jean le Rond d'Alembert. His Martingale variations are commonly known as D'Alembert gaming/betting strategies. At the simplest level, wheras Martingale sequence goes 1, 2,4, 8...

    New micro futures contracts on DAX®, EURO STOXX® 50 and SMI®

    AMP are quoting only a US$50 day trade margin: https://www.ampfutures.com/trading-info/margins/ I am surprised, as like you I thought proportionally it would be US$100.

    Hong Kong indexes no longer available for trading?

    AMP Futures explained it quie well here: https://support.ampglobal.com/hc/en-us/articles/360061778393-Hong-Kong-HKEX-Trading-has-been-Disabled US Treasury confirmed that futures and stock indexes that comprise those companies are also covered by the sanction. What interested me as a non US...

    Thanks Mark, very thoughtful comments. I admit his comment about not seeing anyone last for 10 years is the one I focused on. I have thought about that quite a bit in the context of 'dropping' a normal career - can I actually keep up the stamina of day trading, day in and day out for 10 years...

    Thanks Mark, I should have been clearer in my question. I was thinking specifically about these sorts of comments they made: 1/ "Most of the 10% winners is due to luck in a snapshot, on a rolling basis nearly everyone is losing on shot time frames. The market moves to liquidate you, it really...

    Morning Mark, Is your web site URL (http://markbrown.com/) meant to lead to anything as I just get a blank page?

    Hi Mark, Third question: In the main model in post 1 where you quoted performance for it running 24 hours a day. Do you have a daily loss limit/drawdown where it stops trading for the day? When running it what does history show for the number of losses in a row? When you run it under your own...

    Thanks Mark, Yes by all means post a .pdf as others may find it useful as well. Second question: you mentioned about adding contracts over time without adding additional risk. I think you said its starts with one car and builds up to 10 cars. What method is it using to determine when to move...

    Ok, just that I though you said in one of the replies your PT and ST were fixed so I was reading that to mean you were either making $1 or losing $2. But what you seem to be replying is that the ST of $2 is worst case and most times you are out of a loser before this - correct? Is that because...

    Hi Mark, So many questions and so little time to write them:D. First off, back in the first or 2nd post you said the strategy had a 57% win rate and a reward to risk ratio of 1:2. But that calculates to a negative expectancy so how is it making money? (1 x 0.57) - (2 x 0.43) = - 0.29...

    FIFO rule kills futures traders profits!

    Use Sierra Chart (Flat to Flat trade reporting/recording option) with a broker other than AMP then. ( FWIW: I use AMP and have no issues with them).

    FIFO rule kills futures traders profits!

    Hi Bone, I'm not sure as I don't use an averaging in strategy so I am not making use of the 'Flat to Flat' functionality - I just knew it existed in the SC software. My broker is AMP and I use the CQG datafeed with SC and the Trade Activity log works just fine for me.

    Sierra Chart software allows you to display/report your averaged in positions the way you require. Sierra Chart call it 'Flat to Flat'. https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/TradeActivityLog.php#FlatToFlatTradeDisplay
