Disliked{quote} true, but: then we get a problem: in trading many changed over years and you still live in many many decades back... this will not help, when you cant accept, that in this time the factor is not every time 2,0 and its still martingale. but however.... anyone has to live with his own definition and in his own time, history of any word definitions or reality today. and even in past there was different factors (by the way)...Ignored
the definition must be flexible!
the reality today? or the different factors in the past?
welcome to your modern new world, where you dislike a definition and create your own little utopia with very very light black colours.
even given the exact definition of "martingale", and the gambling reference, where there is no what if, but exact events ( like each new roulette spin), and all you do is search for excuses, when all it would take to say: i was wrong?!
but it is our fault, you know, wasting time....
there is always, always another trade!!
