My Money Management System eliminates risk at some point and allows to double lotzise on each trade with ZERO RISK.
How is this possible? Anyone can find the solution?

The question is not how is this possible but how do you make profits with zero risk? 😄 To make a profit you always risk, and not only in forex. You also cannot simply eliminate cost, costs always exists, even in alternative form. So whatever you put at stake to make profit - this is what you risk, unless if you just play with demo accounts 😉

@hodias The Martingale is a very popular system for Forex, and is used by many expert advisors. I have read that the central principle of the system is to double the bet every time it is lost, as if it were to win.

Yes, this has been mentioned several times in the discussion from what I read. So this seems to be the foundation principle of martingale.

Hey guys, the second page of this article speaks a bit more of Martingale and system types. Perhaps you are interested in. https://www.x-trader.net/articulos/trading-general/la-falacia-de-la-martingala/P%C3%A1gina-2.html

But this article is in Spanish only I see...

@tradfred Thanks for the article, best would be to have it also in English but anyways, good you shared it 😄

Demo or live... this isn't the question. How to use variant of martingale in order to eliminate risk (zero risk - covering all the costs and potential loss) while profit may be * 2 or 4 or 6.
It is possible... pure maths

I so far have not succeeded, you have been able to do it?

Here I'm going to give you an hint by providing the formula, so you can discover by yourself the martingale method used.

Pips difference / ( (Lotsize Position 2 / Lotsize Position 1) - 1 )
This formula provides (pips) where you have to set stopLoss from last opened trade to get zero risk. (minus a couple of pips to cover spread or commissions)

Does it help?

I know... that's why the guy brought the idea... I haven't said the guy who invented martingale

I would like just to add one point I read on Wikipedia - 'The fundamental reason why all martingale-type betting systems fail is that no amount of information about the results of past bets can be used to predict the results of a future bet with accuracy better than chance.'
It is pure gambling, nothing to deal with trends or analysis of the market in my opinion. I think vontogr@ is right that it is about following a losing trade.

@NEEnah
exactly,

I had a martingale strategy (smart one :))
It was working for years and DD was below 30%. Suddenly it was wiped during a day.
I am trying to say you are right, no past results could guarantee future results. But thats the case of any other system as well. :)

I am even surprised to see it worked well for years as you said :) It should have been definitely a smart one.

I would not use martingale in particular. It is a method that does not give me confidence in the absoluteness, although some have worked very well.

I prefer to be just a reader of the subject 😁

Have you had experience with the martingale? You could actually win with this method?

Interesting point!

To be honest, I have tried only a couple of times, and I haven't been really successuful => failure = zero loss ^^

The theory is simple, the practice is harder.

After some point, I find a new variant of the variant we are talking about. It is easier and could be more profitable in faster way.

If you are creative, then you may find some new variants from what I will expose. But for now, I would prefer someone find it before releasing the concept.

I see the formula provided doesn't help a lot...
More hints:
Pips Difference is the difference in pips between 2 trades.
Then for exemple... Lotsize from Order 2 is twice more from Order 1.

All you have to do, Calculate the formula with figures : )

I'm going to create an account and I will trade exclusively with this martingale...

First trade opened.... Waiting for the second one then, it is riskless.

@CrazyTrader Maybe once you open more shops you can recommend more techniques that you can be using

Not sure what you mean... you guys not curious to find the solution... one more hint.

That is, how do you give the exact formula? You can not just guess, right? There must be something more, I understand what you say about math, but there are many kinds of martingale. Duplicate, quadrupled, I'm not sure which type is the one that uses the most. Or the one that has worked.

It's martingale up and down! or inverted reversed martingale.

Thanks for the formula 😄
 

Can you expose the martingale concept then?

@CrazyTrader I, on the other hand, could not understand the formula described above. Honestly it did not help me.

I'm trying to make a real example to illustrate...
