★Explosion Power = Danger? What We Found After 1 Year of Testing★
Explosive Martingale Operation
Know your enemy to infinitely reduce risk!
The Martingale’s greatest enemy is "a losing streak"
What matters most in Martingale is not simply the win rate.
The truly important point to watch is,how many consecutive losses the logic allows before it triggersand continues.
Because in Martingale trading, the more losses in a row, the higher the lot size, the greater the required margin and floating loss risk. In short, checking the number of consecutive losses is extremely important for assessing the risk of a Martingale EA.
If you run it without knowing this...
Consecutive-loss distribution verified over about 1 year
```In this backtest, we counted consecutive losses and checked how frequently they occurred.
| Consecutive Losses | Occurrences | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| 1 loss | 195 times | 51.46% |
| 2 losses | 98 times | 25.86% |
| 3 losses | 54 times | 14.25% |
| 4 losses | 23 times | 6.07% |
| 5 losses | 5 times | 1.32% |
| 6 losses | 4 times | 1.06% |
| 7 losses | 0 times | 0.00% |
| 8 losses | 1 time | 0.26% |
Consecutive-Loss Distribution Graph

```Key Points
```Occurrences of 5 or more consecutive losses are, in total, onlyabout 2.64%
8 consecutive losses, in yearly validation,only once
This shows how often the most cautionary consecutive-loss scenario occurs in Martingale operation. We are sharing this data openly without withholding it.
```Why this data is strong evidence
```In Martingale EAs, merely looking at win rate does not reveal real risk. Even a high win rate can be overwhelmed by frequent extreme drawdowns.
That is why this EA checks not only profits but also how often consecutive losses occurred.
In about one year of testing, the maximum eight-loss streak was recorded, yet the test finished with the same settings up to the end.
This is a crucial verification point in Martingale operation. It confirms the test through a full year of market conditions, not just a short-term period with profits.
``````
This consecutive-loss distribution comes from past backtest results and does not guarantee that future markets will produce the same loss counts.
However, revealing not only profits but also the risk of consecutive losses is an important input for operational decisions.
```Martingale cannot be run long-term.
Verified under the above white-label conditions
No curve fitting.
No setting changes.
About one year, tested with the same settings until the end.
What we want to convey most this time
Martingale EAs can yield large profits in the short term, but over long periods, there are cases where they collapse midway.
Therefore, what matters is not short-term gains but how long you can run without changing settings even as market conditions change.
In this validation, we completed about a year of backtesting with no setting changes and no curve fitting.
What this validation did not cover
```No optimization to fit past markets.
About one year, tested with the same settings.
No parameter changes to produce profits midway.
Testing to verify the EA’s intrinsic performance.
About one year of backtest results

Why enduring Martingale for a year matters
Martingale operation offers allure in recovery after wins and capital efficiency. However, over long periods, it’s crucial to withstand losing streaks and market biases.
In this validation, we completed about a year of backtests without changing settings.
This is not simply a story of profits.
What truly matters in Martingale operation, whether it can be sustained long-term with the same settings.
Why the win rate of 52.44% still built profits
A win rate of 52.44% may not look impressive at first glance.
But the important thing is not the win rate alone.
Profit-and-loss balance, capital efficiency, and the ability to operate over the long term.
In this validation, about one year of same settings across 1,476 trades,growing from $1,000 to $8,899.97.
Drawdown
Maximum drawdown was 46.70%. This value is not small.
However, showing only convenient numbers is meaningless. What truly matters is to assess both profit and risk together.
This validation aims to verify the EA’s intrinsic performance, so it does not employ fund-management methods such as:
- Compound interest trading
- Lot-up proportional to profits
- Lot-down during drawdown
- Capital management by risk rate
These are results of about one year tested under the same conditions.
In actual operation, you can tailor the trading plan by adjusting lot sizes according to your capital and risk tolerance.
The value of this validation
This is not just about profits.
In Martingale operation.
No curve fitting.
No setting changes.
Completed about a year with the same settings.
There is value in validating that profits could be accumulated under these conditions until the end.
No optimization. No mid-course changes.
Completed backtesting for about one year with the same settings in Martingale EA.
From $1,000 to $8,899.97
Results across various market environments, not just a short period.
※ Actual results may vary depending on market conditions, spreads, order execution environment, and trading settings.
※ There is a risk of loss in EA trading. Please trade only with funds you can afford to risk.
