There are uses of martingale that don't wipe the account in one blow, like linearly averaging down with fixed number or positions, or even slightly increasing the lot size while keeping the number of positions even smaller (like 1, 2, 2). I though that was being used in the account in question, since the trader said 'but always using a protection'. Either way, I agree that using martingale is very damaging to an account. If it does not crash it, at least it's trashing the performance metrics I'm tracking. He who thinks he can, and he who thinks he cannot, are both right. ~ Henry Ford |

Dear Remus,
Yes martingale can be very damaging to an account if not used properly. There are some position which are badly timed which can be saved by this method. Where people go wrong they try to save all position using this which leads to wild draw down. But to save a mistimed trade I am yet to find a better way A Successful speculator bases no move on what supposedly will happen but reacts instead to what does happen |

Yes, I completely agree. it's too dangerous.
Losses might get out of hand especially when trader is in losing streak. NextLevelForex posted: Chikot posted: I cannot wrap my head over why people use martingale at all.
