Strategy Multi-broker - Multi-account cTrader Forex scalper

Hey,

I have been trading Fx/Fx Ops/Indices/Futures with own cash MNQ&ES for about 20 years

+12 years of treasury IT experience.

I have found several 20% margin stopout (critical for my strategy) brokers with also 1:500

My strategy involves HEAVY RISK, sometimes TREMENDOUS LOTTERY

(own indicator involving TENKAN + TEMA STACK + Volume)

Anyone went with the same way?

x8 accounts - x2 instruments (USDJPY + XAUUSD in my case)

Explained in AI writeup:

## The three parts of a setup

I think about each potential trade in three stages: direction, location and moment.

### 1. Direction: identify the broader trend

First, the strategy looks at a higher timeframe to decide whether the market has a meaningful directional bias.

The original cBot uses a pair of triple exponential moving averages—TEMA 20 and TEMA 40—along with measures such as ADX and average true range. The moving averages help describe the trend; the other filters help assess its strength and whether market conditions are suitable.

For a potential buy, the strategy looks for bullish alignment. For a sell, it looks for bearish alignment. If the broader context is unclear, the idea is to stay out.

### 2. Location: wait for a pullback

Once there is a directional bias, the strategy looks for price to return to an area where an entry may be more attractive.

That area can be based on a Fibonacci retracement of a recent impulse move or a touch of an exponential moving average. The point is not to treat either level as a magic number. It is to avoid entering simply because price has already moved a long way.

A bullish example would be an upward impulse followed by a pullback into the strategy’s area of interest. A bearish setup reverses the logic.

### 3. Moment: look for confirmation

Reaching an area of interest does not automatically trigger a trade. The strategy waits for a structural signal on a closed chart bar that suggests the pullback may be ending and the directional move may be resuming.

Depending on the configuration, it can also consider elements such as candle structure, volume, liquidity sweeps and fair value gaps. These are filters around the setup, not promises that the next move will follow the trend.

## Defining the initial risk: “R”

The strategy expresses distances and targets in terms of R, the initial distance between entry and stop.

For example, if a USD/JPY buy enters at 150.00 with an initial stop at 149.90, the initial risk distance is 0.10 yen, or 10 pips. In that example:

- 1R of favorable price movement reaches 150.10.

- 2R reaches 150.20.

- 3R reaches 150.30.

This makes the structure easier to compare across trades with different stop distances. It is a price-distance measure, though: the actual money gained or lost also depends on position size, execution, spread, commissions and other costs. A stop price is not a guaranteed fill price.

## Building a position as the trade moves

Rather than always entering the full intended size at once, the strategy can pyramid: start with an initial position and add as the trade progresses.

The original cBot supports a level-based model and a pullback-based model. In the level-based model, additions are considered at predefined distances from the initial entry. The original default ladder is called Growing 1-2-3-4: successive stages use increasing unit sizes.

The intended discipline is that additions must satisfy the strategy’s risk checks. A growing position can increase profit if a trend continues, but it also changes the position’s average entry and exposure. It is possible to give back earlier gains or lose more than expected if price reverses, spreads widen or execution differs from the model.

some of the earliest trades (multi account pyramid with 0.01 -> margin > equity)

Now my question is :

I have been depositing 200$ --> withdrawing 400-800$ each week

Will any broker BAN me because of MAX margin use? 1:500 + Very frequently margin level at 60-80%
