The reason for losing on the ladder lies in how capital increase is handled 【Binary Options】
The factor behind ladder losses lies in how capital is increased
Many use averaging down, but it ultimately tends to resemble a martingale
Doing that can yield profits when lucky, but when you lose, you end up with results close to game over
So should you make a turnaround move? That question arises
If you do so, the number of bets increases, leading to a grind-down strategy
Therefore, with ladders,
you should limit yourself to trades that increase your capital
When fundamental risk exceeds profits
That is a form of capital increase, but it becomes a trade that is easy to dilute
So it’s better to be able to wager with a certain level of risk
This is easy to understand if you consider it as an online casino
Online casinos, to recover from the house edge,
will involve employing methods like capital management techniques
(Basically, probability thinking is used in poker)
In terms of martingale
The effective martingale strategies are around 2-win or 3-win
A 1→2→3 win strategy
If it’s 1→2→4, the number of bets lost becomes too large
The risk becomes extremely large
However
1→2=3 bets means the risk of loss is small
And when you win, you get a reasonable profit
Continue to treat this as a capital-increasing style
With ladders, selling early to secure profits
Typically ends up at about 50–75% of the maturity
In other words, if you bet double, you get about 1.5x profit
Even with ladders, adopting a maturity strategy is more stable
It becomes a stable strategy
However, this stable strategy is still limited to trend-following
After all, the market tends to trend
Yet you never know how long that trend will last, so
You should use trend signals that are relatively low-load even in less favorable conditions
・Relatively low-load, stable trend signals
・A strategy focused only when a trend is present
Roughly this much
To achieve stability, the most suitable approach is one that is reasonably easy to implement as a ladder
