About Martingale
Exploring the Martingale strategy in Deriv Bot
The Martingale strategy involves increasing your stake after each loss to recoup prior losses with a single successful trade.
This article explores the Martingale strategy integrated into Deriv Bot, a versatile trading bot designed to trade assets such
as forex, commodities, and derived indices. We will delve into the strategy's core parameters, its application, and provide
essential takeaways for traders looking to use the bot effectively.

Key Parameters:
These are the trade parameters used in Deriv Bot with Martingale strategy.
Initial stake: The amount that you are willing to place as a stake to enter a
trade. This is the starting point for any changes in stake depending on the
dynamic of the strategy being used.
Multiplier: The multiplier used to increase your stake if you're losing a
trade. The value must be greater than 1.
Profit threshold: The bot will stop trading if your total profit exceeds this
amount.
Loss threshold: The bot will stop trading if your total loss exceeds this
amount.
Maximum stake: The maximum amount you are willing to pay to enter a
single trade. The stake for your next trade will reset to the initial stake if it
exceeds this value. This is an optional risk management parameter.

An Example of Martingale Strategy:

1. Start with the initial stake. Let’s say 1 USD.

2. Select your Martingale multiplier. In this example, it is 2.
3. If the first trade ends in a loss, Deriv Bot will automatically double your
stake for the next trade to 2 USD. Deriv Bot will continue to double the stake
after every losing trade.
4. If a trade ends in a profit, the stake for the following trade will be reset to
the initial stake amount of 1 USD.
The idea is that successful trades may recoup previous losses. However, it is
crucial to exercise caution as the risk can quickly increase with this strategy.
With Deriv Bot, you can minimise your risk by setting a maximum stake. This
is an optional risk management feature. Let’s say a maximum stake of 3
USD. If your stake for the next trade is set to exceed 3 USD, your stake will
reset to the initial stake of 1 USD. If you didn't set a maximum stake, it
would have increased beyond 3 USD.

Profits and theshoulds :

With Deriv Bot, traders can set the profit and loss thresholds to secure potential
profits and limit potential losses. This means that the trading bot will automatically
stop when either the profit or loss thresholds are reached. It's a form of risk
management that can potentially enhance returns. For example, if a trader sets the
profit threshold at 100 USD and the strategy exceeds 100 USD of profit from all
trades, then the bot will stop running.

Estimating the life span of your trades:

If you're about to start trading and haven't established a Maximum Stake as

part of your risk management strategy, you can determine how long your
funds will last by employing the Martingale strategy. Simply use this formula.

R = log(B/s) / log(m)

Where:
R is the number of rounds a trader can sustain given a specific loss
threshold.
B is the loss threshold.
s is the initial stake.
m is the Martingale multiplier.
For instance, if a trader has a loss threshold (B) is 1000 USD, with an initial
stake (s) is 1 USD, and the Martingale multiplier (m) is 2, the calculation
would be as follows:

R = log(100/1) / log(2)

Number of rounds, R ≈ 9.965

This means that after 10 rounds of consecutive losses, this trader will lose
1023 USD which exceeds the loss threshold of 1000 USD, stopping the bot.
This formula helps you plan your trades by considering the amount of money
you have and your comfort level with risk. It involves determining your loss
threshold and the initial stake you want to trade with. Then, you use this
formula to calculate the number of rounds you can trade. This process
provides insight into stake sizing and expectations.

Summary :

The Martingale strategy in trading may offer substantial gains but also
comes with significant risks. With your selected strategy, Deriv Bot provides
automated trading with risk management measures like setting initial stake,
stake size, maximum stake, profit threshold and loss threshold. It's crucial for
traders to assess their risk tolerance, practice in a demo account, and
understand the strategy before trading with real money.
Disclaimer:
Please be aware that while we may use rounded figures for illustration, a
stake of a specific amount does not guarantee an exact amount in successful
trades. For example, a 1 USD stake does not necessarily equate to a 1 USD
profit in successful trades.
Trading inherently involves risks, and actual profits can fluctuate due to
various factors, including market volatility and other unforeseen variables.
As such, exercise caution and conduct thorough research before engaging in
any trading activities.

Exploring the Reverse Martingale Strategy in Deriv Bot :

The Reverse Martingale strategy involves increasing your stake after each
successful trade and resets to the initial stake for every losing trade as it
aims to secure potential profits from consecutive wins.
This article explores the Reverse Martingale strategy integrated into Deriv
Bot, a versatile trading bot designed to trade assets such as forex,
commodities, and derived indices. We will delve into the strategy's core
parameters, its application, and provide essential takeaways for traders
looking to use the bot effectively.

Key Parameters :
These are the trade parameters used in Deriv Bot with Reverse Martingale
strategy.
Initial stake: The amount that you are willing to place as a stake to enter a
trade. This is the starting point for any changes in stake depending on the
dynamic of the strategy being used.
Multiplier: The multiplier used to increase your stake if your trade is
successful. The value must be greater than 1.
Profit threshold: The bot will stop trading if your total profit exceeds this
amount.
Loss threshold: The bot will stop trading if your total loss exceeds this
amount.
Maximum stake: The maximum amount you are willing to pay to enter a
single trade. The stake for your next trade will reset to the initial stake if it
exceeds this value. This is an optional risk management parameter.

1. Start with the initial stake. Let’s say 1 USD.

2. Select your Martingale multiplier. In this example, it is 2.
3. If the first trade is a successful trade, Deriv Bot will automatically double
your stake for the next trade to 2 USD. Deriv Bot will continue to double the
stake after every successful trade.
4. If a trade ends in a loss, the stake for the following trade will be reset to
the initial stake amount of 1 USD.
The objective of Martingale strategy is to take advantage of consecutive
successful trades and maximise potential profits from them. This strategy is
beneficial only if there are consecutive successful trades. Therefore, it is
important to set a maximum stake to secure all the potential profits gained
from a number of consecutive successful trades, or you could lose all the
profits you have accumulated, including your initial stake. For example, if
your goal is to maximise profits within 2 consecutive successful trades, you
set a maximum stake of 2 USD, given your initial stake is 1 USD. Similarly, if
your goal is to maximise profits within 3 consecutive successful trades, you
set a maximum stake of 4 USD, given your initial stake is 1 USD.

Profits and Loss thresholds :

With Deriv Bot, traders can set the profit and loss thresholds to secure potential
profits and limit potential losses. This means that the trading bot will automatically
stop when either the profit or loss threshold is reached. This is a form of risk
management that can potentially boost successful trades whilst limiting the impact
of loss. For example, if a trader sets the profit threshold at 100 USD and the
strategy exceeds 100 USD of profit from all trades, then the bot will stop running.

Summary :

The Reverse Martingale strategy in trading may offer substantial gains but
also comes with significant risks. With your selected strategy, Deriv Bot
provides automated trading with risk management measures like setting
initial stake, stake size, maximum stake, profit threshold and loss threshold.
It's crucial for traders to assess their risk tolerance, practice in a demo
account, and understand the strategy before trading with real money.
Disclaimer:
Please be aware that while we may use rounded figures for illustration, a
stake of a specific amount does not guarantee an exact amount in successful
trades. For example, a 1 USD stake does not necessarily equate to a 1 USD
profit in successful trades.

Exploring Reverse D’Alembert Strategy in Deriv Bot :

The D'Alembert strategy involves increasing your stake after a losing trade and
reducing it after a successful trade by a predetermined number of units.

Key Parameters :

These are the trade parameters used for D’Alembert strategy in Deriv Bot.
Initial stake: The amount that you are willing to place as a stake to enter a
trade. This is the starting point for any changes in stake depending on the
dynamic of the strategy being used.
Unit: The number of units that are added in the event of a trade resulting in
loss or the number of units removed in the event of a trade resulting in
profit. For example, if the unit is set at 2, the stake increases or decreases by
two times the initial stake of 1 USD, meaning it changes by 2 USD.
Profit threshold: The bot will stop trading if your total profit exceeds this
amount.
Loss threshold: The bot will stop trading if your total loss exceeds this
amount.
1. Start with the initial stake. In this example, we’ll use 1 USD.
2. Set your preferred unit. In this example, it is 2 units or 2 USD.
3. If the first trade results in profit, the stake for the following trade will not
reduce but remain at the initial stake. The strategy minimally trades at the
initial stake of 1 USD. See A1.
4. If the second trade results in a loss, the Deriv Bot will automatically
increase your stake for the next trade by 2 USD. Deriv Bot will continue to
add 2 USD to the previous round’s stake after every losing trade. See A2.
5. If the next trades are profitable, the stake for the following trade will be
reduced by 2 USD. This can be shown above where the stake of 3 USD is
reduced to 1 USD. See A3.

Profit and Loss thresholds :

With Deriv Bot, traders can set the profit and loss thresholds to secure potential
profits and limit potential losses. This means that the trading bot will automatically
stop when either the profit or loss thresholds are reached. It's a form of risk
management that can potentially enhance returns. For example, if a trader sets the
profit threshold at 100 USD and the strategy exceeds 100 USD of profit from all
trades, then the bot will stop running.

Estimating the Lifespan of the trades:

The D’Alembert strategy is less risky than Martingale, but you can still
determine how long your funds will last with this strategy before trading.
Simply use this formula.

B = s * [ R + ( (R + 1) / 2 ) * (R * f) ]

Where:
R is the number of rounds a trader can sustain given a specific loss
threshold.
B is the loss threshold.
s is the initial stake.
f is the unit increment.
For instance, if a trader has a loss threshold (B) of 100 USD, with an initial
stake (s) of 1 USD and 2 units of increment (f), the calculation would be as
follows:

100 = s * [ R + ( (R + 1) / 2 ) * (R * 2) ]

Number of rounds (R) = 10

This means after 10 rounds of consecutive losses, this trader will lose 100
USD. This reaches the loss threshold of 100 USD, stopping the bot.
This formula helps you plan your trades by considering the amount of money
you have and your comfort level with risk. It involves determining your loss
threshold and the initial stake you want to trade with. Then, you use this
formula to calculate the number of rounds you can trade. This process
provides insight into stake sizing and expectations.

Summary:

The D'Alembert system offers more balanced trading through controlled stake
progression. With prudent risk management like stake limits, it can be effectively
automated in Deriv Bot. However, traders should thoroughly assess their risk
appetite, test strategies on a demo account to align with their trading style before
trading with real money. This allows optimising the approach and striking a balance
between potential gains and losses whilst managing risk.

Exploring the Reverse D’Alembert Strategy in d bot

The Reverse D'Alembert strategy involves increasing your stake after a successful
trade and reducing it after a losing trade by a predetermined number of unit

Key Parameters:

These are the trade parameters used in Deriv Bot with Reverse D’Alembert
strategy.
Initial stake: The amount that you are willing to place as a stake to enter a
trade. This is the starting point for any changes in stake depending on the
dynamic of the strategy being used.
Unit: The number of units that are added in the event of successful trades or
the number of units removed in the event of losing trades. For example, if
the unit is set at 2, the stake increases or decreases by two times the initial
stake of 1 USD, meaning it changes by 2 USD.
Profit threshold: The bot will stop trading if your total profit exceeds this
amount.
Loss threshold: The bot will stop trading if your total loss exceeds this
amount.

Example of Reverse D’Alembert Strategy

1. Start with the initial stake. Let’s say 1 USD.
2. Select your unit. In this example, it is 2 units or 2 USD.
3. For trades that result in a profit, the stake for the next trade will be
increased by 2 USD. Deriv Bot will continue to add 2 USD for every
successful trade. See A1.
4. For trades that result in a loss, there are two outcomes. If it was traded at
the initial stake, the next trade will remain at the same amount as the
strategy trades minimally at the initial stake, see A2. If it was traded with a
higher amount, the stake for the next trade would be reduced by 2 USD, see
A3.

Profits and Loss Thresholds

With Deriv Bot, traders can set the profit and loss thresholds to secure potential
profits and limit potential losses. This means that the trading bot will automatically
stop when either the profit or loss threshold is reached. This is a form of risk
management that can potentially boost successful trades whilst limiting the impact
of loss. For example, if a trader sets the profit threshold at 100 USD and the
strategy exceeds 100 USD of profit from all trades, then the bot will stop running.

Summary : Effective trading with the D'Alembert system requires careful

consideration of its stake progression and risk management. Traders can automate
this approach using Deriv Bot, setting profit and loss thresholds to ensure balanced
and controlled trading. However, it is crucial for traders to assess their risk appetite,
test strategies on a demo account, and align with their own trading style before
transitioning to real money trading. This optimization process helps strike a balance
between potential gains and losses while managing risk prudently.

Exploring the Oscars Grind Strateguy bot:

The Oscar’s Grind strategy is designed to potentially gain a modest yet steady profit
in each trading session. This strategy splits trades into sessions and has three
principles.

Key Parameters :

These are the trade parameters used for Oscar’s Grind strategy in Deriv Bot.
Initial stake: The amount that you are willing to place as a stake to enter a
trade. This is the starting point for any changes in stake depending on the
dynamic of the strategy being used.
Profit threshold: The bot will stop trading if your total profit exceeds this
amount.
Loss threshold: The bot will stop trading if your total loss exceeds this
amount.
Principle 1: Strategy aims to potentially make one unit of profit per
session
The table above demonstrates this principle by showing that when a
successful trade occurs and meets the target of one unit of potential profit
which is 1 USD in this example, the session ends. If trading continues, a new
session will begin.
Principle 2: The stake only increases when a loss trade is followed
by a successful trade
The table illustrates this principle in the second session. After a trade
resulting in loss in round 4 followed by a successful trade in round 5, the
stake will increase to 2 USD for round 6. This is in line with the strategy's rule
of raising the stake only after a loss is followed by a successful trade.
Principle 3: The stake adjusts to the gap size between current loss
and the target profit for the session
In round 7, the stake is adjusted downwards from 2 USD to 1 USD, to meet
the target profit of 1 USD.
The stake adjustment: target session profit (1 USD) - current session profit (0
USD) = 1 USD
The second session concludes upon reaching the aim of one unit of potential
profit per session, equivalent to 1 USD. If trading continues, a new session
will commence again.
Profits and Loss Limits :

With Deriv Bot, traders can set the profit and loss thresholds to secure potential
profits and limit potential losses. This means that the trading bot will automatically
stop when either the profit or loss threshold is reached. This is a form of risk
management that can potentially boost successful trades whilst limiting the impact
of loss. For example, if a trader sets the profit threshold at 100 USD and the
strategy exceeds 100 USD of profit from all trades, then the bot will stop running.

Summary :

The Oscar's Grind strategy provides a disciplined approach for incremental gains
through systematic stake progression. When integrated into Deriv Bot with proper
risk management like profit or loss thresholds, it offers traders a potentially
powerful automated trading tech

Exploring the 1-3-2-6 strategy in Deriv Bot

The 1-3-2-6 strategy aims to maximise potential profits with four consecutive successful trades. One unit
is equal to the amount of the initial stake. The stake will adjust from 1 unit to 3 units after the first
successful trade, then to 2 units after your second successful trade, and to 6 units after the third
successful trade. The stake for the next trade will reset to the initial stake if there is a losing trade or a
completion of the trade cycle.

This article explores the strategy integrated into Deriv Bot, a versatile trading bot designed to trade
assets such as Forex, Commodities, and Derived Indices. We will delve into the strategy's core
parameters, its application, and provide essential takeaways for traders looking to use the bot effectively.

Key Parameters :

These are the trade parameters used in Deriv Bot with 1-3-2-6 strategy.
Initial stake: The amount that you are willing to place as a stake to enter a
trade. This is the starting point for any changes in stake depending on the
dynamic of the strategy being used.
Profit threshold: The bot will stop trading if your total profit exceeds this
amount.
Loss threshold: The bot will stop trading if your total loss exceeds this
amount.
Example :

1. Start with the initial stake. Let’s say 1 USD.

2. If the trade is successful, this strategy will automatically adjust your stake to 3 units of your initial stake
for the next trade. In this case, the stake adjustment is 3 units and the initial stake is 1 USD, hence the
next trade will start at 3 USD.

3. If the second trade is also successful, your stake will adjust to 2 USD or 2 units of the initial stake for
the next trade.

4. However, if any trade results in a loss, your stake will reset back to the initial stake of 1 USD for the
next trade. The third trade results in a loss hence the stake resets to the initial stake of 1 USD for the
next trade.
5. Upon reaching the initial stake, if the next trade still results in a loss, your stake will remain at the
initial stake of 1 USD. This strategy will minimally trade at the initial stake. Refer to the fourth and fifth
trade.

6. If consecutive successful trades were to happen, the stake would follow a sequence of adjustment
from 1 to 3, then 2, and 6 units of initial stake. After 4 consecutive successful trades, it completes one
cycle and then the strategy will repeat itself for another cycle. If any trade results in a loss, your stake will
reset back to the initial stake for the next trade.

The 1-3-2-6 strategy is designed to capitalise on consecutive successful trades while minimising losses
during losing streaks. The rationale behind this strategy lies in statistical probabilities, with adjustments
to stake sizes based on the perceived likelihood of success. There is a higher likelihood of success in the
second trade after one successful trade. Hence the stake adjusts to 3 in the second trade. In the third
trade, the stake adjusts to 2 units due to a lower probability of a successful trade. If the third trade is also
successful, the strategy then allocates all the previous gains (a total of 6 units of initial stake) into the
fourth trade with the aim of doubling the potential profits. If the fourth trade results in a positive
outcome, the strategy helps achieve a total gain of 12 units. However, it is crucial to exercise caution, as
the risk can escalate quickly with this strategy, and any loss in the fourth trade forfeits all previous gains.

Profit and loss thresholds

With Deriv Bot, traders can set the profit and loss thresholds to secure potential
profits and limit potential losses. This means that the trading bot will automatically
stop when either the profit or loss threshold is reached. This is a form of risk
management that can potentially boost successful trades whilst limiting the impact
of loss. For example, if a trader sets the profit threshold at 100 USD and the
strategy exceeds 100 USD of profit from all trades, then the bot will stop running.

The 1-3-2-6 strategy in trading may offer substantial gains but also comes
with significant risks. Each stake is independent, and the strategy does not
increase your chances of successful trades in the long run. If you encounter a
series of losses, the strategy can lead to significant losses. Therefore, it is
crucial for traders to assess their risk tolerance, practice in a demo account,
utilise profit and loss thresholds, and fully comprehend the strategy before
engaging in real-money trading.

ANALYSIS :

INDICATORS :

Simple Moving Average (SMA )

SMA adds the market price in a list of ticks or candles for a number of time
periods, and divides the sum by that number of time periods.
10PeriodInput Listsetsmato Simple Moving Average

he formula for SMA is:

SMA = (p1 + p2 + p3 + ... + p_suffix_n) / n

where n is the number of periods.

What SMA tells you

SMA serves as an indicator of the trend. If the SMA points up then the market
price is increasing and vice versa. The larger the period number, the
smoother SMA line is.

This will display the SMA for the specified period, using a candle list.

SMA places equal weight to the entire distribution of values.

This is the same as the above example, using a tick list.

You may compare SMA values calculated on every bot run to identify the
market trend direction. Alternatively, you may also use a variation of the
SMA block, the Simple Moving Average Array block.

10PeriodInput Listsetsmaato Simple Moving Average Array

This block returns the entire SMA line, containing a list of all values for a
given period.

If a period of 10 is entered, the Simple Moving Average Array block will

return a list of SMA values calculated based on period of 10.

The below image illustrates how Simple Moving Average Array block works:

Last Digit:
This block gives you the last digit of the latest tick value of the selected market. If the
latest tick value is 1410.90, this block will return 0. It’s useful for digit-based contracts
such as Even/Odd, Matches/Differs, or Higher/Lower.

Simple Moving Average Array (SMAA)

Similar to SMA, this block gives you the entire SMA line containing a list of all
values for a given period.
10PeriodInput Listsetsmaato Simple Moving Average Array

Bollinger Bands (BB)

BB is a technical analysis indicator that’s commonly used by traders. The

idea behind BB is that the market price stays within the upper and lower
bands for 95% of the time. The bands are the standard deviations of the
market price, while the line in the middle is a simple moving average line. If
the price reaches either the upper or lower band, there’s a possibility of a
trend reversal.

Bollinger Bands Array (BBA)

Similar to BB. This block gives you a choice of returning the values of either the lower
band, higher band, or the SMA line in the middle.

Exponential Moving Average (EMA)

EMA is a type of moving average that places more significance on the most recent data
points. It’s also known as the exponentially weighted moving average. EMA is different
from SMA in that it reacts more significantly to recent price changes.

Exponential Moving Average Array (EMAA)

This block is similar to EMA, except that it gives you the entire EMA line
based on the input list and the given period.
10PeriodInput Listsetemaato Exponential Moving Average Array
Relative Strength Index (RSI)

RSI is a technical analysis tool that helps you identify the market trend. It will give you a
value from 0 to 100. An RSI value of 70 and above means that the asset is overbought
and the current trend may reverse, while a value of 30 and below means that the asset
is oversold.

Relative Strength Index Array (RSIA)

Similar to RSI, this block gives you a list of values for each entry in the input
list.
10PeriodInput Listsetrsiato Relative Strength Index Array

Moving Average Convergence Divergence

MACD is calculated by subtracting the long-term EMA (26 periods) from the short-term
EMA (12 periods). If the short-term EMA is greater or lower than the long-term EMA than
there’s a possibility of a trend reversal.

Tick and Candle Analysis :

Any blocks placed within this block will be executed at every tick. If the default candle

Examples:

1. If the selected direction is "Rise", and the previous tick value is less than
the current tick value, the output will be "True". Otherwise, the output will be
an empty string.

2. If the selected direction is "Fall", and the previous tick value is more than
the current tick value, the output will be "True". Otherwise, the output will be
an empty string.

Is Candle Back?

This block returns "True" if the last candle is black. It can be placed
anywhere on the canvas except within the Trade parameters root block.

Is candleblack?

The term "candle" refers to each bar on the candlestick chart. Each candle
represents four market prices for the selected time interval:

Each candlestick on the chart represents 4 market prices for the selected
time interval:

- Open price: the opening price

- High price: the highest price

- Low price: the lowest price

- Close price: the closing price

A black (or red) candle indicates that the open price is higher than the close
price. This represents a downward movement of the market price.
A white (or green) candle indicates that the open price is lower than the
close price. This represents an upward movement of the market price.

The time interval for each candle can be set from one minute to one day.

Red Candle Value (1)

This block gives you the specified candle value for a selected time interval. You can
choose which value you want:

Open: the opening price

- High: the highest price

- Low: the lowest price

- Close: the closing price

- Open time: the opening time stamp

In the example below, the opening price is selected, which is then assigned
