Reversing Martingale: Doubling Stakes After Losses

Summary

This document describes an Expert Advisor built around a reversing martingale. After a losing trade, the strategy doubles its stake; it aims to keep increasing exposure until price movement reverses direction, then close the position in profit and recover the losses from the preceding sequence. The description says the advisor can be used with either of two MetaTrader versions, but it provides no actual trading rules for entries, exits, or the point at which direction is reversed.

The page explicitly characterizes the method as dangerous and makes recovery conditional on having enough margin. It includes no parameter details, worked examples, backtest results, or discussion of instruments and market conditions. A trader cannot infer from this description how often the recovery occurs or how large losses can become before margin runs out. Its main instructional value is the sizing mechanism and its dependence on continued capital availability; it should not be read as evidence that the method is profitable or safe.

Key ideas

• The strategy doubles position stakes after each losing trade.
• It aims to recover a series of losses by reversing with the current price movement.
• Recovery depends on having enough margin to continue the sequence.
• The document provides no backtest evidence or detailed entry and exit rules.
