This topic is created in order to have a guide and discussion about multi strategy EAs. I have seen this topic appeared in some topics but the discussion tends to die after some comments. So the intention is to have the topic in here and don't let it die
Rather than increasing deposits, I've been studying a staged compounding approach where each new stage is funded by profits from the previous one. The concept isn't about predicting the market, it's about structuring risk differently . Let me give you a Numerical Example here : Stage 1: Risk $10 →
Over the years, I’ve tested and observed many Expert Advisors, especially on XAUUSD. And there’s something that keeps repeating itself again and again. Most EAs that show amazing backtests on gold rely on some form of martingale or grid logic. At first glance, everything looks perfect: high win

Why are people still using Martingale/Grid systems when its 90% chance of blowing your account?
(32 1 2 3 4)
Genuine question for anyone running automated systems. Why do people still buy grid or martingale EAs when most of us already know how these usually end? The equity curve looks amazing at first.
