doji ea - someone posted a myfxbook, looks too smooth

[shadowpilot]

guy in another group shared a doji ea myfxbook, equity curve is a perfect 45 degree line up. no drawdown basically. thats the part that worries me, real trading has drawdown. a curve that smooth usually means martingale hiding the losers in floating dd. can someone who knows look at this pattern

[fadedlights]

youre right to be suspicious. check the OPEN trades and the floating drawdown on that myfxbook, not just the closed equity line. martingale/grid bots show a beautiful closed curve while carrying a pile of underwater open trades. if floating dd spikes huge periodically, the smooth line is a lie waiting to break

[asherwood]

also look at the 'max drawdown' stat and whether the account uses crazy leverage. smooth curve + low closed dd + high leverage + no track record before a certain date = curve fit or martingale almost always. and check if its a real or demo account, myfxbook shows that

perfect 45 degree line = martingale that hasnt died yet. screenshot it now cause the curve wont look like that next month

wait how do i see floating drawdown on myfxbook, i only see the green line

[parkerlee]

open the 'open trades' tab and look at the history of floating P/L if its shared. also the drawdown chart (not the balance chart). if they only shared the balance view and hid open trades + drawdown, thats deliberate, ask for the full link

checked, floating dd is massive. martingale confirmed. dodged it
