For the Phantom Drift<\/a> arbitrage strategy<\/strong>, we use a hybrid approach that combines two distinct methods: latency arbitrage<\/strong> and a martingale system with a limited number of averaging steps<\/strong>. As we mentioned earlier, this combination enables us to disguise arbitrage activity and effectively confuse anti-arbitrage plugins<\/a>.<\/p>\n To make such a strategy work properly, it is essential to have optimized configurations for the martingale component. Previously, we provided ready-made templates for XAUUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, and EURUSD<\/strong>. By the end of this week, we will also release templates for the three most popular cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, XRP<\/strong>) and three major indices (DAX, US100, US30<\/strong>).<\/p>\n To adapt the limited martingale setup for cryptocurrencies and indices, we introduced the parameter Pips Step Percent<\/strong>, which defines the distance between martingale entries in percentage terms, rather than fixed pip values as before. Following this, we conducted optimizations, backtests, and forward tests for all the above instruments to identify their strengths and weaknesses.<\/p>\n Since all drawdowns are expected to be covered by the arbitrage component, the associated risk must remain controlled. Furthermore, to enhance disguise, we will introduce a feature in the coming weeks that enables the addition of a stream of randomized limit orders to Phantom Drift and other strategies. Phantom Drift operates under the SharpTrader platform<\/strong>, and to use it you need either SharpTrader Lite<\/strong><\/a> or SharpTrader Pro<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
