🧠 The Myth of an “Unlosable” Forex Robot Using Averaging — Fact or Fiction?

🚀 Introduction

Every trader has heard about the myth of a “never-losing” Forex robot that automatically profits using averaging (martingale-like strategies). Some claim to have seen flawless equity curves, some have bought bots from forums, and others even tried coding their own.

But is it really possible to run a bot that never blows an account, while using a risky approach like averaging?

Let’s dig into it.

🤖 What is Averaging and Why Use It?

Averaging means opening additional positions in the same direction after a loss, often with a larger lot size, hoping the price will bounce back so all trades can be closed in profit.

Example:

• You buy EUR/USD at 1.1000 — the price goes down.

• You buy again at 1.0980, then again at 1.0960, and so on.

• When the price eventually goes up — all positions close in profit.

Pros:

• Fast recovery from losses during ranging markets

• Smooth, impressive equity curves (until they’re not)

Cons:

• One long trend against the position — and the account is gone

• No clear risk limit

• Illusion of stability while hiding enormous exposure

❌ Why Do These “Unlosable” Bots Still Lose?

Many averaging bots look great… until they don’t. Here’s why:

1. Underestimating market trends
   Averaging thrives in sideways markets, but long, one-way trends destroy it.

2. Unlimited risk
   Without a stop-loss or position size cap, the risk becomes exponential.

3. False sense of security
   Most bots die within 3–6 months. Then the monitoring link gets deleted.

4. Marketing over reality
   Creators promise “never-losing” systems but hide max drawdown, leverage, or grid depth.

🧩 Is There a Real Bot Behind the Myth?

Can an averaging robot really be designed to avoid blowing up?

Yes — but with conditions.

What can make an averaging robot “safer”?

• ✅ Fixed number of grid levels (e.g. no more than 5 steps)

• ✅ No geometric lot growth — use flat or gently increasing lot sizes

• ✅ Volatility filters — avoid trading in high-risk zones (e.g. news events)

• ✅ Time-limited trades — don’t hold forever, even in a grid

• ✅ Session-based logic — e.g. don’t trade on Fridays or during Asian sessions

• ✅ Partial withdrawals — even if the bot eventually loses, you’ve already withdrawn more than the deposit

📊 A Different Goal: Trading for Volume, Not Profit

Some traders run averaging bots not to earn from the market directly, but to generate volume.

Why?

Because many brokers offer rebates — cashback from the spread or commission. For example:

• A $10,000 account trades 100 lots per month

• The bot may break even or lose a little

• But the broker pays $10–$20 per lot = up to $2,000 rebate per month

This creates a sustainable income, even if the robot eventually loses — because you are withdrawing profits all the way.

🧠 Conclusion: Myth or Reality?

An “unlosable” averaging bot with no limits is a dangerous myth.

A controlled, limited, smartly-designed bot using averaging can work in specific conditions and with the right mindset.

It’s not about magic — it’s about:

• Understanding the strategy

• Limiting exposure

• Taking profits regularly

• Accepting that no system is eternal

💬 P.S.

If you’re curious to try a custom-built averaging robot with strict risk control that also earns rebates — drop me a message or follow the link in the profile.

But only if you understand that stability isn’t free — it’s the result of discipline, control, and realistic expectations.
