# Stochastic Martingale EA - Complete MQL4 Source Code

This article provides a fully functional Expert Advisor that combines Stochastic oscillator signals with a controlled Martingale position sizing strategy . Unlike pure Martingale systems that blindly double after every loss, this EA only initiates the Martingale sequence when Stochastic confirms oversold/overbought conditions, adding a critical filter to reduce risk.

Strategy Logic



The EA uses the Stochastic oscillator to identify potential reversal points. When Stochastic falls below the oversold level (default 20) and crosses back above, it generates a BUY signal. When Stochastic rises above the overbought level (default 80) and crosses back below, it generates a SELL signal. After a losing trade, the EA increases lot size by a configurable multiplier, but strictly enforces maximum order limits to prevent geometric explosion .

Risk Warning



Martingale strategies carry inherent risks. The EA includes multiple safeguards: max order limits, drawdown protection, and profit targets . Always test on demo accounts first.

Installation Instructions



1. Copy code to MetaEditor (F4 in MT4)
2. Compile (F7) - ensure 0 errors
3. Attach EA to chart (best for EURUSD, GBPUSD on M15/H1)
4. Adjust parameters in Inputs tab
5. Enable AutoTrading

Compilation Tips



  • For 4-digit brokers, set `pointMultiplier = 1` manually

  • Test with very small InitialLot (0.01) first

  • Monitor drawdown levels closely
