The Martingale method
In this post, I will explain why, when using the Martingale method, we don’t need a high win rate, and how to apply it correctly in trading
- The main principle of the Martingale method is to double the bet after each loss in order to recover all previous losses and achieve a profit equal to the initial bet when a win occurs.
- In other words, after each loss, you increase your bet until you win. Once you win, you return to the initial bet and start over. It's important to note that this method shows its effectiveness only for up to three steps.
- Example:
This illustrates how the Martingale method works, gradually increasing your bet after a loss to recover all previous losses and secure a small profit once you win.
It’s important to note that when using this method, you should pay close attention to the asset's profitability you’re trading with. It should not be less than 80%.
When using the Martingale method, you don't need a high win rate because this method allows you to compensate for losses by doubling the bet after each loss. Each win covers all previous losses and provides a profit equal to the initial bet. Therefore, even with a low win rate, the method can be profitable if you have enough capital to cover the losses.
Let's break it down using my trading example:
Morning session in my VIP channel:
- Trade opened: $2000 bet (doubling the amount after the loss).
- Result: The trade closed with a profit of +$1520, covering the previous loss and generating a profit above the initial amount.
I always indicate the doubling of the previous stake in my signals.
