INTRODUCTION

Before I describe how The Phantom EA work I want you understand what is martingale first . So make sure you read this article carefully to know the advantage and risk of martingale base strategy. 

ABOUT MARTINGALE

from Wikipedia 

Originally, martingale referred to a class of betting strategies popular in 18th century France. The simplest of these strategies was designed for a game in which the gambler wins his stake if a coin comes up heads and loses it if the coin comes up tails. The strategy had the gambler double his bet after every loss, so that the first win would recover all previous losses plus win a profit equal to the original stake. Since a gambler with infinite wealth will with probability 1 eventually flip heads, the Martingale betting strategy was seen as a sure thing by those who practised it. Unfortunately, none of these practitioners in fact possessed infinite wealth, and the exponential growth of the bets would eventually bankrupt those foolish enough to use the Martingale. Moreover, it has become impossible to implement in modern casinos, due to the betting limit at the tables. Because the betting limits reduce the casino's short term variance, the martingale system itself does not pose a threat to the casino, and many will encourage its use, knowing that they have the house advantage no matter when or how much is wagered.

TRADING FOREX USING MARTINGALE

There is 2 kind of strategies to trade Forex using martingale :

1. One-Way Martingale
2. Two-Way Martingale

ONE WAY MARTINGALE

Using this strategy means we will only open positions on one direction.  Here is the example :

Let say we have SELL signal on EURUSD at 1.5000 and we decide to use 20 point as a martingale level, then we open new 0.1 lot SELL position. But then the price going up and we have -20 position then we open 0.2 lot SELL position without closing first position. Then price keep going up and second position has -20 point so we open new 0.4 SELL position and we have 3 open positions . But price stilll going up and third position has -20 point so we open new 0.8 lot SELL position. After that then price going down and fourth position has +20 point then we close all position. So the result will be :

Position 1, 0.1 lot($1/pip), open SELL 1.5000, close 1.5040, result = -40 pips X $1 = -$40
Position 2, 0.2 lot($2/pip), open SELL 1.5020, close 1.5040, result = -20 pips X $2 = -$40
Position 3, 0.4 lot($4/pip), open SELL 1.5040, close 1.5040, result =   0 pips X $4 =  $0
Position 4, 0.8 lot($8/pip), open SELL 1.5060, close 1.5040, result =  20 pips X $8 =  $160
Total result = $80

So, using this kind of martingale, all position count as winners. Below is how this strategy works

Interesting isn't  


BUT, there is disadvantage of this strategy. If  price in the example never goes down and keep climbing up then we have to keep opening new position until we out of our margin. That is the worst scenario. Here is the example :

Freaky right

This strategy will work great on ranging market. But when the market goes opposite significantly againts our current possition that that would be a nightmare. Our account can be wipped out within minutes.

This strategy usually used together with other system which generate the first position. 

The example of this strategy is GOBLIN EA by Bluto which posted on ForexFactory.com. 

 

TWO WAY MARTINGALE

Using this strategy means we will open opposite positions with larger lot after closed previous possition which hit martingale level.  Here is the example :

Let say we have SELL signal on EURUSD at 1.5000 and we decide to use 20 point as a martingale level, then we open new 0.1 lot SELL position. But then the price going up and we have -20 position then we close that possition and we open new 0.3 lot BUY position. Then if price keep going down and current possition has -20 point so we close that possition and we open new 0.7 SELL. Then when price going down and our position has +20 point then we close that position. So the result will be :

Possition 1, 0.1 lot ($1/pip), open SELL 1.5000, close 1.5020, result = -20 pips X $1 = -$20
Possition 2, 0.3 lot ($3/pip), open BUY  1.5020, close 1.5000, result = -20 pips X $3 = -$60
Possition 3, 0.7 lot ($7/pip), open SELL 1.5000, close 1.4980, result =  20 pips X $7 =  $140

Total
result = $60

Here is the illustration , 320 pips in 4 hours :

The key is to run this strategy when market move minimal 2 X martingale level. No matter market in ranging or trending situation, this strategy will always WIN

BUT, it can be like this :

 

Freaky right  

This strategy can be used alone without any other system to open first position since this strategy can work on ranging or trending market. The challenge is to make sure that the martingale level different from current market ranging level.

 The advantage using this strategy is, unlike one way martingale, if our position goes wrong, most of time we will  have time to analyze it and think what we should do.

 

THE PHANTOM EA 

After understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each strategy, I try to combine both.

HOW IT WORKS

Just like two way martingale strategy, for first position we can just BUY or SELL.

Let say we SELL 0.1 lot and set the martingale level at 20. Then market goes Up and we got -20 so we open new SELL 0.2 lot position. Then if market still goes up and the second position is -20 then close all position and  open new BUY 0.7 lot position.

Then if market goes down and last position at -20, we open new 0.8 lot BUY. Then if market goes up and we got +20 on last position then we close all position.

Here is how this strategy works :



Advantages :

This martingale strategy working slowly so it will help us to rearrange our strategy when market goes wrong, even if we run it on 6 different pairs, it will stil save to use this strategy.

Disadvantages:

This strategy will go into loser when market moving ranging 2 X martingale level like this.



So it is our challange to set a proper martingale level.

And it is important to  do this things:

1. Having a 5000  point margin to make sure we have enought margin to handle high level on martingale.

2. Have high leverage (1:500) to reduce margin needed for every position.

3. Trading not only on 1 pair but 6 pairs for better safety.

4. Plan to close every opened position when one of them reach level 4.

As an example: Let say we got +200 pips today, and for now we have 6 opened positions but one of them on level 4 and total loss for all possition is -120. So better we close all positions and accepting the loss. And start again.

DON'T BE GREEDY !! JUST CLOSE ALL POSITIONS WHEN YOU FIND THAT CASE.

 

EA SETTING AND FEATURES 

And below is explanation for each setting on this EA :

DefMagicNumber, is a default magic number which will be used by the EA. Every position opened by this EA will be marked with this number as identifier. Just ignore it  if you do not know the importance. But You will need to change this number if you run 2 EA (different or same) in one MT4 platform which working on same pair and having same Magic number.

Lots, is lot value used by EA.

FirstInitialPosIsBuy, when TRUE then first position opened will be LONG position. 
when FALSE then first position opened will be SHORT position.

StopLoss, is SL used as martingale level.

TakeProfit,
is TP used as martingale level.

On the example above we use same value for SL and TP. Actually, I always use same value for these settings.

And below is recommended value for each pair.


EURUSD,USDCAD,USDCHF,AUDUSD ,
USDJPY : 20-25
GBPUSD : 30
GBPJPY : 60

MaxLevel, is highest level will be openeh by this EA. As an example if we set MaxLevel=5 and currently we have position on level 5 then if that position hit SL then EA will not open new position on level 6 and only close that position and make a new position on level 1.

TakeHalfOnLevel, is a level where EA will try to taking profit on half of TP. As an example if we set TakeHalfOnLevel=4 and TP=60 then when position on level 4 or above then TP will become  30.

NoMorePosAfterWin, when TRUE, if you have opened position, then after hit TP no more position will be taken. But will still open a new position if SL hit. If you do not have opened position and set this parameter to TRUE then EA will stop working.

StopOpeningNewPosition, if TRUE then EA will not opening new position and only wait opened position hit SL or TP.

TurnOffEA, if TRUE then EA will stop working and ignored any opened positions.

Lot1 s/d Lot12, is a multiplier to count lot on every level.

On level 1, lots used will be Lots x Lot1
On level 2, lots used will be Lots x Lot2
On level 3, lots used will be Lots x Lot3
.
.
.
On level 12, lots used will be Lots x Lot12

TurnOnTimeFrame, if TRUE then :
1. EA start opening position at StartHour time server.
2. After EndHour time server then EA will not opening new position after hit TP but will keep opening new position if SL hit.


Starthour and EndHour, used with TurnOnTimeFrame parameter.

AlertOnLevel. For example if alertonlevel= 4 then when EA open position on level 4 there will be an alert message show up.

UseYourOwnPriceForInitPos, set TRUE if you want EA take its initial position at your own price and you do not have time to watch the market. You need to set  BuyWhenHigherThan and/or BuyWhenLowerThan and/or BuyWhenHigherThan and/or BuyWhenLowerThan parameters to use it.

BuyWhenHigherThan, this parameter only used when  UseYourOwnPriceForInitPos =True.
And EA will open its initial position by LONG when BID price is same or higher than
BuyWhenHigherThan.

BuyWhenLowerThan, this parameter only used when  UseYourOwnPriceForInitPos =True.
And EA will open its initial position by LONG when BID price is same or lower than
BuyWhenHigherThan.

SellWhenHigherThan, this parameter only used when  UseYourOwnPriceForInitPos =True.
And EA will open its initial position by SELL when BID price is same or higher than
SellWhenHigherThan.

SellWhenLowerThan, this parameter only used when  UseYourOwnPriceForInitPos =True.
And EA will open its initial position by SELL when BID price is same or lower than
SellWhenHigherThan.

 

PROCEDURE, TIPS AND TRICK TO USE THIS HIGH RISK STRATEGY

1. At the beginning of EURO session open your MT4.

2. If you have  5000 pip margin then open  EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD, USDJPY, USDCAD, USDCHF chart. You can also open GBPJPY if you have 7500 margin.

3.  Make sure your EA button is OFF

4. Drag and drop The Phantom EA into each chart from  Navigator->Experts .

5. Set TurnOffEA=TRUE to make sure EA still OFF when we activate EA button in the platform.

6. Set SL=TP for each  pair :

EURUSD,USDCAD,USDCHF,AUDUSD ,USDJPY : 20-25
GBPUSD : 30
GBPJPY : 60

7. Set lot1-lot12 = 1,1,4,4,16,16,64,64,256,256,1024,1024 (recommended)

If you want larger profit with higher risk you can set it to :

1,2,7,8,31,32,127,128,511,512,2047,2048 (not recommended!! Make sure you have time to monitor the EA when you use this setting).

8. Put 910-M30 indicator at each . And wait 910-M30 indicator showing signal for each pair.

9. Activate EA by click on Expert Advisor button .

Even the EA active, the EA not yet work since TurnOffEA=TRUE.

10. We need to wait 910-M30 indicator showing signal.

If 910-M30 showing BUY signal  then set FirstInitialPosIsBuy=TRUE dan TurnOffEA=FALSE.
Then EA will open BUY when there is movement in the chart. 

If 910-M30 showing SELL signal  then set FirstInitialPosIsBuy=FALSE dan TurnOffEA=FALSE.
Then EA will open SELLwhen there is movement in the chart. 

10. Do not hesitant to close all position at US lunch time. When you will todays profit is enought then just close the EA and sleep well  

You can close all position automatically one-by-one using  "Close all open and pending orders" that I include in the ZIP file.

First, TURN OFF the Expert Advisor button . then Double click that script at Navigators->Scripts window.

 

ANTICIPATE LOSS

    Everything looks great right. Looks like without hard work we will get a lot of pips. BUT there is time where we need to think and work.

    When our position hit level 3, there is a 50% chance that the position will hit level 50%. And if the position hit level 40 than it is about 75% the position will hit level 5. So, if we have a chance to close level 4 position or above with a small loss in a day then never doubt to do it. 

Other way to anticipate loss is by set the SL and TP for higher value.

We know this strategy having a potential loss when market goes ranging 2xSL. So, when we have position on level 3 we set the SL and TP for higher value. The best value to add to SL and TP for each pair is :

EURUSD,USDCAD,USDCHF,AUDUSD,USDJPY : 10
GBPUSD : 15
GBPJPY : 25

EA in this website have ability to add SL and TP automatically when position goes above level 3. Simply fill  NextWaveStep parameter with number above for each chart.

By doing that we will slowing EA to reach higher level and so we will have time to analyse market and closing position with minimal loss if we need.

 IF YOU DO NOT HAVE MUCH TIME TO ANALYSE MARKET AND WATCHING CHART BELOW IS THE BEST SL AND TP SETTING WITH A MINIMAL RISK AND YOU CAN ONLY PROVIDE 7000 MARGIN TO TRADE ON 7 PAIRS. ABOUT 100-500 PIPS PER DAY IS POSSIBLE.

Untuk pair  EURUSD,USDCAD,USDCHF,AUDUSD ,USDJPY : SL=TP=40
GBPUSD :
SL=TP=80
GBPJPY : 
SL=TP=150
