Help CenterYes, martingale strategies are permitted with limitation. We focus on educating traders and advocating sustainable practices. Aggressive averaging methods like martingale carry high risks, relying on the assumption of guaranteed wins while overlooking potential large losses. In contrast, investing equal amounts of money at regular intervals regardless of asset prices offer a methodical, risk-managed approach, aiming to mitigate market volatility and focus on long-term strategy.
Martingale entails opening multiple positions on the same instrument in the same direction during a drawdown of the initial position. It's identified as Martingale if any of the following conditions occur:
- Subsequent positions are opened at a multiplier greater than 1x.
- Subsequent positions are opened with varying volumes but at similar prices and times, resulting in a combined volume exceeding 1x of the original position.
Violating these conditions results in an account breach and challenge failure.
