Right, go back and read the postings.
Whether its ECN's or trading robots, its wise to look at both sides, any and all information available, pro and con, and be aware of, and anticipate any possible problems before they occur. The simple fact that MegaDroid hasnt had many problems in the past 6-8 months of use, doesnt mean they dont exist, and doesnt mean they wont pop up unexpectedly.
Be prepared. Know your material. Anticipate any possible problems.
Consecutive losses, with a Martingale style account doubling can crush an account.
Basicaly, your playing with high risk, on the grounds that you cant lose twice.
? Since MegaDroid very rarely takes any loss (it has excellent internal trade managment), why not double the traded size constantly, and turn off the Recovery Mode? If MegaDroid can handle trading a 40-50% position size during Recovery, it should be able to handle it at other times as well. If we do a little experimenting with the backtester, we can find out how high it can comfortably go. Then we simply remove our profits periodicaly, untill we have reclaimed all our initial risk capital and it can run on its own earnings.
