Martingale is Evil?! - page 4

Something similar I've tried too. But good results only after optimisation and they don't work after applying them in the future. I downloaded somewhere the news indicator , it has all the lines of both important and not important news. I think you might need it . And I think instead of a geometric progression you should use a different series.

In parallel with developing a "good" advisor based on the principle of a, I would advise looking into amulets that bring luck. The fact is that it is possible to have a few successful "series" and then lose the rest.

Think about it, there is a reason why martingale has a native element, gambling. It works better on selecting the polar element - cards, red-black. Market up and down is far from the same thing.

 

Martingale has nothing to do with the TS, in fact it is a hidden form of MM (can be proved mathematically strictly). Accordingly, if there is no stable and profitable algorithm (TS), no MM (including martingale) will not help to obtain a positive growth of the balance (it can be proved as strictly).

In short, there is nothing to talk about!

 
if martin is evil, then anti-martin is good !

What is the point of proving the obvious?

Martingale is a tool that you have to know how to use. A tool cannot be good or evil. You can use an axe to build a house, or you can use an axe to kill an old interest lady. Is an axe an evil or a good thing?

 

timbo, tell me, what do you mean when you say that martin is a tool? A tool for what, MM? So there is a much more advanced way(s) of reinvesting capital.

It's not really a tool there.

If you open the books on game theory and read about casinos and martin, it becomes clear that the only advantage of a martin in the casino is the ability to take, in the end, the first bet and that's it (no more)! That said, everyone forgets that there are two insurmountable limitations on how the method works:

1. You have to have infinitely more money than the original bet (the one that will win back at the end).

2. The casino will not allow the method to work, even if the initial bet is $10.

Forex, is only slightly different from casino (it is, unlike the latter, weak but predictable), but that is not crucial in this context.

 

если мартин - зло,значит антимартин - это ДОБРО !

It's like: let's take a fast draining EA and enter on its opposite signals...

There are a large number of advanced cars, but a Zhiguli (Hyundai, Daewoo, substitute to your liking) is also a car that can solve certain problems and in some situations may be the best choice.

Yes, that's MM. There may be more advanced ways, but that doesn't make martingale evil. You just need to know how to use it and apply it where it can show its strengths.

 

It is a question of optimal behaviour. Yes, you can behave however you like, but there is only one type (pattern) that is of interest - the one that gets you there as quickly as possible (usually). From this point of view, using a martin is synonymous with masturbation!
