This is a problem indeed- Didn't realize this was its trading style till after you had mentioned it, as now I have 10 trades open (5 buy / 5 sell) but all are at .10 so I was going to argue the point....
However, looking at PipCop's demo account, I see it has indeed "martingaled"... .10, .20, .40 etc. - Also, the Float is HUGE! - He has $1800 in negative float against $1800 in closed profit (give/take on both)... but that's still a huge risk...
I run Jitterbug for martingale - as it places hedge orders if things get too out of whack - plus it will TRY to go back and recover negative trades...
Since this appears to really be a martingale EA - I'd propose running Jitterbug against it on a /CHF as it has good swings -
Just my 2 cents
