What happens if the sequence is empty ([])?
If the Sequence is set to an empty array:
Sequence: []
Money Management is completely disabled.
This means the bot will no longer apply dynamic position sizing or progression logic. Instead, it will use a fixed position size for every trade, regardless of previous wins or losses.
πΉ What Changes in Behavior?
When the sequence is empty:
- No multiplier progression is applied
- No forward or backward movement in steps
Modesetting becomes irrelevantMoveBackStepshas no effect- Trade size remains constant
Every trade will use the same base position size that you configured in your strategy settings.
πΉ Example
If your base trade size is:
$200
With Money Management enabled:
- Trade sizes may increase or decrease depending on streaks.
With Sequence: []:
Trade 1 β $200
Trade 2 β $200
Trade 3 β $200
Trade 4 β $200
...
No scaling. No adaptive sizing. No recovery progression.
πΉ When Should You Leave It Empty?
You may intentionally disable Money Management when:
1οΈβ£ Testing a New Strategy
You want clean performance metrics without progression affecting results.
2οΈβ£ Running Fixed Risk Models
If you're already using fixed fractional risk (e.g., 1% per trade), you may not want additional progression layers.
3οΈβ£ Small Account Capital
Aggressive scaling can amplify drawdowns in small accounts.
4οΈβ£ Measuring Raw Strategy Accuracy
Disabling progression helps evaluate true win rate and expectancy without compounding effects.
πΉ Advantages of Fixed Position Sizing
- Simpler risk structure
- Predictable capital exposure
- Easier backtesting comparison
- Lower complexity
πΉ Limitations of Disabling It
Without Money Management:
- Losing streaks are not softened by dynamic reduction
- Winning streaks are not amplified
- Recovery remains linear
- Capital growth may be slower
It removes adaptability from the system.
β Summary
Setting:
Sequence: []
Means:
- β No progression
- β Fixed trade size
- β No adaptive recovery
- β No dynamic scaling
It is the safest and simplest configuration β but also the least adaptive.
