sourour,

this is undoubtably a good result, I have a question.

Did you work out the minimum account size that would not have hit a margin call when confronted with the nine progression that occurred twelve days into the test? Testing with $500000 is the best way to trade martingale successfully especially starting with a .1 progression.

I am forward testing with an account size of $250 to approximate the size of account I will be able to afford to fund. Hopefully by the time we have tested neta1o's new EA and he has had the time to make his planned changes it will be possible to use it profitably on a mini account of $250.

John
