Who can achieve 13 consecutive winning trades with a risk reward ratio of 1:1. risking the entire amount and therefore doubling equity. is it possible? any1 up for the challenge? risk will always remain just $10 I have seen 16 consecutive reds in roulette so wats the chances of picking the very high probability trade setups, and remember consecutives happen very often in roulette with just a 48% bias, and that is why the martingale strategy always fails. so wont it be much more likely to get consecutive wins like that in forex where u have control...

No even George Soros can achieve this. Only adjustment and retracement is enough to wipe the account, even if the setup is strong and would finally follow the direction

The challenge is good to a certain extent with modification of course...room for a loss. After while there is no need to compound anymore too.

That means you have to win 13 times in a row. Which, from 13 out of 13 tries, 12 of 13 it will not reach 13 times winning in a row.

If this concept is impossible then why is it that the martingale strategy always fails eventually

Stop trying to get rich quickly, it cannot be done.
It takes years just to acquire any skill, trading is no different and after acquiring the skill you don' t make a million in a year. It takes another years to enjoy the fruit of that skill. One thing people don't understand and it took me a long time to get is that compounding small growth rates consisently outperforms higher growth rates that are volatile.
When you see it, BET big.

Sounds counterintuitive but the math works. The reason being that the trick of investing is addiction. My rule is simple if I m down a month I consider that a big failure. I don' care about the upside, the goal is to not lose money on any given month. Cheers.

Hit Take profit and you wont lose money =)

find a true unbalance, the moment where the price WILL move in 1 direction and close the trade in profit, stop aiming for a 1 to 342342342 Risk/return to cover a shitty strategy and you will be on the right track

This can be achieved by luck and BY chance.But we have to see the probabilty of occuring such type of event.

Now lets get into some real life statictics.To go from 10$ to 80000$ in 13 trades.

This thing breaks down to getting 13 wins in a row.Now consider this scenario for example heads a winner and tails as a losser.
Considering your risk to reward is 1 to 1.And you double your money if you win in that particular trade until you reach your 80000$

10$[this is when you start] 20,40,80,160,320,640,1280,2560,5120,10240,20480,40960,81920.

So even if you lost one trade in between you will be back to zero once again.
So according to this stats the probability of such an event happening by chance is [1 in 8000 times.]

However if some skill is applied while doing this than this might change the scenario completely.

Yes. If to double the account with every winning, but lose it all every time you lose, the chance is, for 2 chances, 1/4 (lose-win, win-lose,lose-lose, win-win), then it is 1 / (2^chance).

Considering you want to win 13 times, then the chance is 1 / (2^13) = 1/8192.

Yes thats right the precise number is [8192 in 1] 8000 was just a rounded of number i said.
Now lets further calculate this thing,
If you lose 8192 times[8192 × 10 = 81920$] and win ONE TIME 81920$ you are back to zero.

But Like i said if someone had a slight edge than this can change completely.

How much of a slight edge do you need to put confidently 13 winning trades in a row ?

  • May 9, 2018 7:13am May 9, 2018 7:13am
I think if you look at it with a 'slight edge' perspective than instead of 8192/1 scenario with a 3 to 7 percent edge it might come down to 7600/1 or even 7000/1 .
meaning you win 81920$ while losing 70000$ [your profit would be 11920$ considering you have an edge of atleast around of 5percent] on an average everytime minus the spread.

Hello Red, I am curious. Do you trade divergences? If you took up this challenge am I right in my assumption that you would aim to achieve this feat using divergences? Hope to hear from you.
