Description & Settings
The ExpMartin EA trades on the principle of the Martingale: if the order is closed by Stop Loss, the next order will be the opposite type with a lot size increased by a certain rate.
Settings:
Lots = 0.1 — starting lot.
Factor = 2.0 — lot factor for the next order if the previous is closed by Stop Loss.
Limit = 5 — limiting the number of multiplications of the lot.
Stop Loss and Take Profit are virtual.
StopLoss = 100 — Stop Loss level.
TakeProfit = 100 — Take Profit level.
StartType = 0 — type of the starting order, which the EA will use to start trading, 0-BUY, 1-SELL.
Magic = 1000 — individual number of the Expert Advisor.
