> Stake after N losses = base_stake × 2^N (classic martingale)

> Goal: recover all previous losses + profit equal to base_stake on a win

> Reality: 6 consecutive losses at $5 base = $315 risked. Most accounts can't survive 8+.

> Broker limits — most brokers cap max trade at $500-$1000, limiting recovery after 7-8 losses

> Martingale doesn't change expected value — it only changes the distribution of wins/losses

> NFA — martingale is the fastest way to blow an account. Use at your own risk.
