Imagine this... 21% drawdown on just one trade, after doubling down time and time again to try an salvage the bad trade, rather than setting a stop (e.g., 5%), taking your losses, and starting a new trade. The net result of this purely Martingale strategy - a $70,841 loss on one trade alone! The only reason this person's strategy is still alive is because he's hyper-extending his leverage while doubling down on losing bets, then utilizing a pray-and-wait approach in hopes of a bounce-back. Though he makes money (so far), the risk is too great and the technique (Martingale) proven to result in disaster eventually.
