For martingale based EAs like Thunderbird, better to use a Cent account than a standard account. More room for error to avoid margin call. And it is highly advisable to avoid any GBP pairs till the Brexit saga is over.
May the pips be with you. ;)
For Martingale EAs, here are some personal tips to manage risk:
1) Open multiple small trading accounts to trade different pairs (Preferably cent accounts)
2) For more volatile pairs (like GBP and JPY pairs), use bigger grid size and smaller lot size
3) Withdraw your profits regularly. In other...
It is performing well, but must use it on a Cent Account using 0.1 initial lot size and Fib Lot for Martingale Lot. For more volatile pairs like GBP and JPY, use a larger grid step and smaller multiplier. May the pips be with you! ;)
Have to withdraw profits regularly before margin call occurs. Treat it as a "dividend stock" rather than a "growth stock". If DD reaches >30%, I will just cut loss. ;)

Some market movements do not come announced (eg the recent JPY flash crash, Donald Trump making surprise market-shocking announcements etc) so I manage such unforeseen risk by choosing pairs with similar "risk correlation". Pairs like AUDNZD are less sensitive to these awe-and-shock events...
What I like about this EA is that it has hedging mechanism built in once your floating losses reaches a certain level. For example, if it is executing all the buy trades, it will also start to execute sell trades to stabilize your floating losses. I love this EA so far. Ok hand To reduce risk, I...
The downside of this grid+martingale EA is that there is no hedging mechanism built in. So I only use it to trade pairs that are both "risk currencies". Eg. EURGBP, AUDNZD, EURCAD etc... No USD or JPY pairs. Surviving well so far and averaging about $40 ROI a day on my live account.
And with...
Hi guys,
If you are concerned about all the Grid+martingale EAs out there blowing up your live accounts in the event of some freak incidents (eg like the recent JPY flash crash), you can consider attaching this EA on a separate chart to manage risk.
There are a few options there to do so. For...
