Ostensibly this type of trading will do very well for instruments that have a lot of retracement of moves. That's basically every commodity and every forex pair. I'm going to look for books about grid trading theory now.. if any actually exist.

EDIT: just for the record, I like the grid you were running without the martingale progression better, but I don't know enough about it to make a real informed opinion. It's just a gut feeling...

looking mighty scary. Isn't the cable known for trending very well for a very long time? could get hairier...

 

[ElectricSavant]

Yeah...I like the other grid better (But this trend looks like it is stalling).

The NFP this AM was not enough to get a reset. But another buy was put on (unbalance control lotsizing) which ironically reduces the margin with this particular dealer (hedge offset policy).

looks like you could use drain the banks system instead.

martingale's last trade was a long strategy on Lehman from 90 bucks.

The NFP this AM was not enough to get a reset.........huh.
