Re: Money management & Martingale

It might work if you impose other rules to it, but then the question becomes - are you even performing a martingale strategy?

It's something I've thought about before as well and in the end, it was a slippery slope (for me).

There's only one way to find out - do some backtesting and/or live testing and see how it goes. Keep detailed records. It could be an easy analysis if you do it on paper, while trading the way you currently do. See where you are at the end of the day.
