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.
๐น 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.
๐น 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 โ $200
Trade 2 โ $200
Trade 3 โ $200
Trade 4 โ $200
...
No scaling. No adaptive sizing. No recovery progression.
๐น When Should You Leave It Empty?
You may intentionally disable Money Management when:
1๏ธโฃ Testing a New Strategy
You want clean performance metrics without progression affecting results.
2๏ธโฃ Running Fixed Risk Models
If you're already using fixed fractional risk (e.g., 1% per trade), you may not want additional progression layers.
3๏ธโฃ Small Account Capital
Aggressive scaling can amplify drawdowns in small accounts.
4๏ธโฃ Measuring Raw Strategy Accuracy
Disabling progression helps evaluate true win rate and expectancy without compounding effects.
๐น Advantages of Fixed Position Sizing
- Simpler risk structure
- Predictable capital exposure
- Easier backtesting comparison
- Lower complexity
๐น 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.
โ Summary
Setting:
Sequence: []
Means:
- โ No progression
- โ Fixed trade size
- โ No adaptive recovery
- โ No dynamic scaling
It is the safest and simplest configuration โ but also the least adaptive.
