Martingale
Definition
Martingale is a position-sizing strategy that doubles the lot size after every losing trade to recover all previous losses with one winning trade. While mathematically sound in theory, it carries extreme risk of account blow-up during extended losing streaks. Anti-martingale (reverse) increases size after wins instead.
