FXSTABILIZER（EA）Basic Information

FXSTABILIZER is an automated trading system (EA) that is well known worldwide. Trade logic is a simple martingale method.

It has a long forward test period and shows good results with a high profit rate. There aren’t many EAs that have been doing such good results.

As shown in the table above, FXSTABILIZER has four purchasing patterns.
The EURUSD version and AUDUSD version each support one currency pair, while the Ultimate version supports 6 currency pairs and the PRO version supports 8 currency pairs.

■Difference between the two modes

Only two currency pairs (EURUSD, AUDUSD) can choose two settings (Durable, Turbo).

On the other hand, it is not possible to set two types of modes (Durable, Turbo) for other currency pairs available in Ultimate or PRO version.

Profitability / Drawdown

FXSTABILIZER is currently releasing four forward tests with two settings (Durable, Turbo) for the EURUSD and AUDUSD versions. All results are on real accounts.

■EURUSD  Turbo mode
Broker：Forex4you (Real account）
Start Date：2016/4/16

■EURUSD   Durable mode
Broker：FXOpen（Real account）
Start Date：2016/8/6

■AUDUSD  Turbo mode
Broker：FXOpen (Real account）
Start Date：2018/4/4

■AUDUSD  Durable mode
Broker：Blackwell Global (Real account）
Start Date：2015/4/7

Except for a slightly larger drawdown in AUDUSD Durable mode, it draws nice rising profit curves.
The martingale EA has a large loss cut, so it is characterized by a beautiful rising profit curve.

FXSTABILIZER is equipped with a balance protection function, and you can specify the maximum drawdown as a percentage.
The large drawdown in the Durable mode of AUDUSD is due to the activation of the balance protection function. This is a safety feature that prevents your account from collapsing.

Let’s check the EURUSD Turbo mode that has the best results.

■EURUSD 　Turbo mode

From April 2016, the forward test started with a balance of $ 500, and the balance has increased 20 times.
On the other hand, the maximum drawdown is about 20%, which is within the allowable range.

So far it’s been a great result.

Since it is a martingale EA, it increases the lot size at additional positions.

In the forward test, the lot size of the first entry is fixed at 0.01 lot even if the balance increases.

Since the initial entry lot is fixed, the monthly profit rate (“compound interest”) will decrease as the balance increases. The monthly gain displayed on Myfxbook is calculated as compound interest, so it is getting lower and lower.

On the other hand, the monthly profit rate (“single interest”) is about 40%. That means getting 40% of the initial balance of $ 500 every month.
In other words, even with the operation of a minimum of 0.01 lots, a monthly $ 200 is being constantly generated.

This EA can expect a high profit rate.

There is the option of increasing the lot size as account balance increases. (Example: $ 500 for 0.01 lot, $ 1000 for 0.02 lot, $ 1500 for 0.03 lot)
However, increasing the lot size naturally increases the risk.

In particular, FXSTABILIZER is a martingale EA that operates with relatively large floating loss, so the larger the balance, the safer and more advantageous.
It is better to be careful about adjusting lot size without greed.

Trading Method Analysis-Entry

The trading logic of FXSTABILIZER is a martingale. (Reference article: Martingale EA risks and benefits)

If the price goes backward from the entry direction, it will open positions with increased lot size.

The lot size for additional entries has increased. So even if a big trend happens, it can make a profit with relatively small price retracement.

The following MT4 transaction history chart (Turbo mode) shows that BUY entries are repeated in the downtrend, and finally the account is profitable due to price rebound.

（1H　White＝BUY　Red＝SELL）

At first glance, it looks like losing trade, but profits are generated in the account because the lot size is increased.

Next, in order to compare “Turbo mode” and “Durable mode”, display the MT4 transaction history chart.
Both chart display periods are unified from July 4, 2019, to October 2, 2019, so you can compare the differences between the two-mode.

■FXSTABILIZER EURUSD Turbo mode
（1H　White＝BUY　Red＝SELL）

■FXSTABILIZER EURUSD Durable mode
（1H　White＝BUY　Red＝SELL）

 

Regardless of the direction of the trend, both modes always have positions in either direction.
Since it always has positions, it trades frequently and has a high-profit rate.
However, it should be recognized that having positions all the time increases the risk.

The difference between “Turbo” and “Durable” is the transaction frequency and pips distance to additional entries.

Looking at the transaction history image above, you can see that “Turbo” has more entries than “Durable”.
In addition, “Turbo” has a smaller pips distance to additional entries

In other words, as its name implies, “Turbo” mode trades more aggressively.
Of course, “Turbo” has higher profit rate, but also has a higher risk.

Trading Method Analysis – Martingale & Lot size

FXSTABILIZER’s martingale logic is as follows.

■Turbo mode

So far, it held up to 8 positions. The 2nd – 3rd position is 25pips interval, the 4th – 7th position is 35pips interval, and the 8th position is 65pips interval. (Note that the 9th position or later is unknown as there is no record.)

As the number of positions increases, the pips distance of additional entries tends to increase.

Regarding the increased rate of lot size, the second entry will have the same lot size as the first entry. Lot size will be doubled from the 3rd position.

■Durable mode

* The forward test in Durable mode starts with an initial balance of $ 10000 and an initial lot of 0.15, but for comparison purposes, the calculation starts from 0.01 lots.

The durable mode has held up to 7 positions so far. Additional entries will be made at intervals of 45 to 55 pips.
Similar to Turbo mode, lot size doubles from the last time after the third entry.

Comparing the two modes, you can see that the Durable mode has a larger interval for additional entries. As a result, the total lot size becomes smaller and stable operation is achieved.

There is no description regarding the maximum number of positions. It seems that additional entries will be repeated until the balance protection function (stop loss) is executed.

Trading Method Analysis – Loss Cut (Balance Protection)

Since it is a martingale EA, basically, without loss cut, it will wait for the market to reverse while making additional entries. Therefore, stop loss is not set for each position.

However, FXSTABILIZER has a “balance protection function”. All positions can be closed by specifying the maximum drawdown value (%) of the balanced ratio.

In the image below, about 35% of the balance protection function was executed at AUDUSD.
When the floating loss reached 35%, all positions were closed and the balance decreased.

Please note that lowering the balance protection percentage does not reduce risk.

The lower the percentage, the faster the loss cut will be executed. Therefore, losses are accumulated.

It is a good and bad part of Martingale EA to make a profit in total position while allowing a large floating loss.
Therefore, if the balance protection function is executed more frequently, the good parts of the Martingale EA will also be erased.

The balance protection function should be set to at least 30% or more.

Forward Test Environment

FXSTABILIZER’s forward test environment is a real account.

The trading environment differs between demo and real.

Even though the price movements look the same, there are differences in the execution such as slippage. So even if the same EA, the results may be different between demo and real.

FXSTABILIZER targets large pips, so it is expected that the results will not change significantly between demo and real.
In the first place, the results with the real account are open to the public, so it can be considered that it has been proven that profits can be made with real accounts.

Back Test Result

Below are the results of the EURUSD version 2 mode backtest.

■ EURUSD Turbo setting

 

■EURUSD Durable setting

You shouldn’t believe the backtest results alone. It is used as reference information only.

After all, “Turbo” has a higher profit rate than “Durable”.
In the backtest, as the balance increases, the lot size of the initial entry also increases. On the other hand, in the forward test, the lot size does not increase even if the balance increases.

Adjusting the lot size according to your balance will increase your profit rate, but keep in mind that it also increases your risk.

Parameter Settings

The parameter settings of FXSTABILIZER are as follows.
It does not require complicated settings and is very simple.

Explanation of Negative Points

The points that are likely to be negatively evaluated are explained below.

About Martingale EA

The martingale itself may be criticized, but the martingale itself should not be criticized.
It is a method that uses the essential feature that the market price repeats up and down, and the profit rate tends to be high.

However, since it will make additional entries while increasing the lot size, we must tolerate relatively large floating loss.
Another characteristic of the martingale is that if the floating loss bulges too much, the large loss may occur.

FXSTABILIZER has a balance protection function, so you can probably avoid the risk of losing your account at once.

However, it is a mistake to recognize the EA as unbeatable by looking at the clean upward curve of the forward test. It is worth recognizing that there is a possibility that you may lose the specified percentage in one shot.

・FXCHARGER
・Forex Truck EA
・Forex inControl Reborn

Although there is uncertainty about the developers,  you should judge the goodness of the EA by looking at the trade logic itself and the result of the forward test.

About Results for General Users

There are some bad results of FXSTABILIZER by general users.

As a result of confirmation, users with poor results were operating with a highly volatile currency pair that they did not support, or with a balance that was too small.

If it is operated according to the recommended settings, it is assumed that the bad results have not been obtained.

However, the results other than EURUSD are often uncertain.
Forward tests that mixed multiple currency pairs were published by the vendor, but are now deleted.
Operating in highly volatile currency pairs may be a little riskier.

Therefore, if you want to use this EA, the EURUSD version is sufficient.
Unless you can prepare a very large balance or you are interested, you may not need to purchase the PRO version or ULTIMATE version.

Summary of FXSTABILIZER

It is an EA that has endured a long-term forward test and has a high-profit rate. There are not many EAs that perform as well as FXSTABILIZER.

Risks should be recognized and used, but the balance protection function is designed to avoid the risk of unexpected losses.

You can also choose to have the lot size calculated automatically according to your balance with the “Auto Risk” parameter. However, while profitability increases, so do risk. Therefore, it may be better to adjust the lot size manually.

Even with 0.01 lots, the average profit will be about $ 200, so it is better to operate carefully with a large balance and a small lot size.

Although it is a high-risk and high-return martingale EA, it may be more useful than poor trend-following EAs or a scalping EAs that depends on the operating environment.

Notes on Use

Since it operates while allowing floating losses, the following leverage and balance recommendations should be adhered to.

Leverage

The minimum leverage is 1: 200.

Minimum Balance

The minimum required balance is $ 150 in Turbo mode and $ 2500 in Durable mode, assuming a minimum of 0.01 lot operation.

You may be wondering why Durable mode, which should be less risky, requires more balance. Martingale EA has the characteristic that the larger the balance, the smaller the risk and the stable operation, so it may be in the Durable mode including the recommended balance.

On the other hand, $ 150 in the Turbo mode is too small. It is better to prepare at least $ 500, which is the same as the forward test.

Recommended Broker for FXSTABILIZER

Some brokers offer 100% deposit bonuses that double your balance.

Martingale EA like FXSTABILIZER operates with floating loss, so it is advantageous to have as many account balances as possible and it will operate stably. On the contrary, if the balance is small, the risk of large loss is high.

Therefore, the deposit bonus of Forex brokers is definitely a good service to use.

Especially, the 100% bonus of “XM (XM Trading) Standard Account“ will cover the floating loss even if the equity balance reaches 0. (Other brokers only have the advantage of be able to open large position, and the bonus disappears when the equity balance reaches 0.)
With a deposit of $ 500, you can trade twice as much as $ 1000, and the maximum leverage is 888 times, which is the most advantageous operating environment for FXSTABILIZER.

In addition to the double deposit bonus, you can also get an account opening a $30 bonus at XM.

* To receive a 100% deposit bonus + $30 account opening bonus, select “Standard Account (1lot = 100,000)”. A bonus cannot be received with a Zero account.
