Sure, I understood that even before I tested the EA, and I didn't even know it was a martingale strategy before I started using it. I was merely trying it out to see how well it performed, and after disappointing results, I won't be using it anymore. You probably could do well with this EA if you had the time to periodically manually close trades on many currency pairs when they became profitable, because I noticed that occasionally the EA will produce 100's of pips and the trend will reverse without the EA closing the trade before the reversal.
