Rise/Fall vs Higher/Lower
- Rise/Fall: you win if the exit price is higher (Rise) or lower (Fall) than the entry price.
- Higher/Lower: you win if the exit price is above or below a barrier set away from the entry price. Moving the barrier changes both the chance of winning and the payout.
Straddle Edge (Rise/Fall)
Trades 1-tick Rise/Fall on Volatility 10. Instead of a multiplier, it follows a stake list: after each loss it moves to the next stake on the list, and after a win it goes back to the first. You can also choose a plain martingale, and set take-profit and stop-loss.
Apex AI (Higher/Lower)
Trades 5-tick Higher/Lower on Volatility 75. Before entering, it labels each of the last few tick moves as up, down or sideways and only buys when they line up in one direction. Its money management is built around limits:
- Take profit and stop loss for the session.
- Optional martingale with a multiplier and a maximum number of steps, after which the stake resets.
The real cost of a stake list
A stake list looks harmless because each number is written down. Add them up. Here is the kind of list the Straddle Edge bot is built for:
| Loss in a row | Next stake (USD) | Total risked so far (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| Start | 0.35 | 0.35 |
| 1 | 0.43 | 0.78 |
| 2 | 0.85 | 1.63 |
| 3 | 1.74 | 3.37 |
| 4 | 3.55 | 6.92 |
| 5 | 7.30 | 14.22 |
| 6 | 15.00 | 29.22 |
| 7 | 31.00 | 60.22 |
| 8 | 65.00 | 125.22 |
| 9 | 130.00 | 255.22 |
| 10 | 260.00 | 515.22 |
A single win near the start of a cycle earns cents, but ten losses in a row risks over 500 USD. Shorten the list or lower the stakes until the bottom row is an amount you can afford to lose.
