Martingale

Martingale is a high-risk trading approach where traders increase their position size at a multiplier after an open position goes into a loss. The goal is to recover previous losses with a larger winning trade. While this method can generate profits in favorable conditions, it rapidly escalates risk. This often leads to large drawdowns and potential account failure when losing streaks occur. Example: If a trader opens a 1-lot EURUSD long position and it moves into a loss, then opens a second EURUSD position with a multiplier greater than 1.1 while the first trade is still open, it will trigger the PTF risk bot and result in an evaluation failure.

Why It's Restricted

• Uncontrolled risk exposure — losses can compound quickly.

• High drawdown potential — a few consecutive losses can drain an account.

• Unsustainable long-term strategy — risk increases exponentially.

Martingale Add-On: Trade with Limits

For traders who prefer a more aggressive approach, PropTrading.Fun offers an optional add-on upon checkout that allows Martingale strategy usage with a 1.5 lot multiplier cap.

Attempts to exploit the martingale breach system for example: Opening a 1-lot trade, then following it with two 1.5-lot trades at similar entry levels and time intervals after the first trade goes into a loss, will be flagged by the system as a martingale breach attempt. NB: To avoid being flagged when using the 1.5 lot multiplier cap, we recommend configuring your EA — or manually adjusting your trades, to round down when applying 1.5x multipliers during drawdowns

This add-on enables traders to apply controlled progression, ensuring risk remains within manageable boundaries while still leveraging the principles of Martingale in a structured way.
