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?

  • Underestimating market trends
    Averaging thrives in sideways markets, but long, one-way trends destroy it.
  • Unlimited risk
    Without a stop-loss or position size cap, the risk becomes exponential.
  • False sense of security
    Most bots die within 3–6 months. Then the monitoring link gets deleted.
  • 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  • ✅ Partial withdrawals — even if the bot eventually loses, you’ve already withdrawn more than the deposit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.

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
