Looking at CAD, it's tough to say what it's going to do. Pretty much have to let the triangle on the lower frames play out. But looking at the daily, I see a general price/time area. I've attached two different squares from the same range. Both have ...

One of the best ways to use Martingale is to use it as the mm method in your system backtest. Then find a period where it kicks butt, take a screenshot, and then use that as the proof of how awesome the system is and then hawk it on ebay.

Did Martingale work for someone?

Yeah, that was kind of the whole point. I haven't read every post in this thread because it was looking like a TA, indicator, blah blah blah fight thread. Anywho, that book should be one of the first books people read. I've gone through it a dozen ...
