This first order of business when I started to do backtesting was to backtest Cyborg EA. On top of that, I was also backtesting another EA PipMaker V3.15… (Open source edited to include Martingale Strategy)

Now PipMaker was a tough sucker to backtest. Why? Because it took like 2 hours just to backtest one currency pair… And it was not from 1999 till todate. It was from 01/01/2008 till 29/05/2009… My gawd! And I was backtesting it on both broker… Interbank and Alpari. Two of what I would say my main account.

Anyway… it was pretty interesting. Before I dive into the actual backtesting results. I wanted to express my view on Martingale Strategy.

Martingale system has been widely used in casino but I have never come across it until a few months back when I was looking into Forex Funnel. Did not dive into it until I got Cyborg EA. And did not backtest it until well…. last week when my penpal forwarded to me PipMaker V3.15

Martingale stategy is a really scary strategy. In casino using Martingale startegy, you double up your bet just to win 1 credit… This strategy was mostly used in Roulette playing black/red. You double up your bet when you lose your initial bet and continue to double up until you hit a win.

And here is my personal experiences with casino roulette systems … (What can I say… I just love gambling) :)

I believe it is time to pay due respect to this EA…

Cyborg EA… what can I say. This is a new EA which has been very profitable for me. I have never given it enough hype eventhough I do mention it on my performance update… Come to think of it I have never tag this EA or have I?

Hmmm…

Anyway… this is an excellent EA. This is one of the EA which was forwarded to me… bless his soul. It is license… so I did my usual decomp magic and start using it.

And to date… or as of this writing… this is the result
