I’ve been testing out the Martingale strategy on a demo account, and honestly, it’s kind of addictive. The idea of doubling down after a loss feels like it should work eventually, but I’m starting to see how quickly things can spiral. Had a losing streak last week that almost wiped out my fake balance, and now I’m wondering — is this just too risky for anything long-term, or is there a smarter way to manage it?

Man, been there. I did something similar in 2022 — looked great until volatility kicked in and suddenly I was 5X deeper than I wanted to be. What helped me reassess was this breakdown I found that actually tests Martingale over real historical Forex data — super eye-opening. You can check it out here: https://forextester.com/blog/forex-martingale-strategy/. Helped me realize it's okay for short bursts, but definitely not for passive, long-term

I’ve seen a few people in my Discord group experiment with it, and reactions are always mixed. Some swear it’s genius, others say it’s just slow-motion account suicide. I guess it depends a lot on how you use it and what kind of setup you’ve got. Everyone seems to have a different threshold for risk, and that’s where things get tricky.
