Introduction to Martingale Strategy
The Martingale strategy is a well-known investment approach commonly used in traditional finance and risk management. By adapting its core principles to the crypto market's unique characteristics—leveraging automated trading tools and AI—Bitget has developed an enhanced Martingale strategy tailored for cryptocurrency trading.
Origins of the Martingale Strategy
Originally applied in speculative games like coin tosses, the Martingale strategy involves doubling the bet after each loss until a win occurs. For example:
- Round 1: Bet $1 (lose) → Next bet: $2
- Round 2: Bet $2 (win) → Resets to $1, recovering losses + profit
While theoretically offering a 100% win rate, this strategy has critical flaws:
- Unlimited funds assumption: Requires infinite capital to sustain consecutive losses.
- Risk ignorance: Prolonged losing streaks can deplete resources.
Despite these drawbacks, its high-win-rate appeal and risk-management insights make it popular among traders.
Bitget’s Martingale Strategy: Key Features
How It Works (Spot Market Example)
Bitget’s Spot Martingale strategy executes staggered buys at fixed price drops, increasing each purchase exponentially (1x, 2x, 4x...). For instance:
- Price drops 1%: Buy at 99%, 98%, 97%, etc.
- 5% drop: Average cost = 95.97%; only a 1.02% rebound needed to break even.
This "buy-the-dip" approach minimizes average entry costs, maximizing profits during recoveries.
