What is martingale trading strategy?

Martingale involves doubling trade size after each loss, aiming to recover all losses with one win. While attractive in theory, it carries extremely high risk and often leads to account blowouts. For example, starting with $100, after 5 consecutive losses, the next trade size becomes $3,200. Although martingale can produce short-term profits, eventual losing streaks wipe out accounts. Professional traders avoid pure martingale but may use modified versions with strict limits. It is more of a gambling tactic than a sustainable trading strategy.
