Has anyone used the mini version? Are they the same, outside of lot sizes? Does it have a MM?

The real difference I see is it doesn't trade as much, I have demo both versions standard and mini, it looks to me like it just adjusted the symbol set to accommodate the MM symbol @ IBFX

I haven't seen any "true" martingale systems in a very long time, they're more of an add-hock systems now, that hedge vs doubling-down. It does increase lot sizes but well into a draw-down, theirs no 'doubling down" from what I've see.

An update from the developer, he's putting in a "aw-screw it" kill switch that I can set to go off after so many hours of a hung trade so it just doesn't sit their for weeks stuck.

I'm thinking either 4 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours or 24 hours, and well setup 4 demos to see which on is better. If this works as I hope, we may have a winner.

EDIT: Demos setup for 2hrs, 4, 6 & 8 hrs I've also kept the original demo running..
