Martingale Strategy
Part 2

from part 1, lets now
consider what happens
when you hit a losing run.

Part 2
Again, you hold $10
and place an initial bet
of $1. You lose so your
balance is now $9.

Martingale Strategy
Part 2
So, you bet $2 next time, lose
again and end up with $7. On
the third bet you gamble $4 but
as your losing streak
persists, you now only have
$3.

You now do not have
enough money to “double

In the following example, at
2 lots, you need the

Part 2
By adding more lots, you lower your
average entry price. Even though

lot of the EURUSD if the price hit
1.255, you only need the currency to
set to recover to 1.2569 to break
even.

Sooner or later, things may
turn in your favor, but with the
Martingale Strategy you may
not have sufficient money to
keep up in the game long

So this why you need deep
