Martingale Calculator
See how a losing streak grows your stake, and how much deposit the full chain actually requires before you turn Martingale on.
What Is Martingale?
Martingale is a stake-management technique: after every loss, the next stake increases by a fixed multiplier, so that a single win recovers all previous losses plus a small profit. It doesn't decide when to open a trade — that's the job of the underlying strategy (RSI, MACD, Stochastic, and so on) — it only manages how much to risk on the next attempt. See the full breakdown, including the real risks and when using it actually makes sense, in the Martingale strategy article.
| Step | Stake | Total staked so far |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $10,00 | $10,00 |
| 2 | $22,00 | $32,00 |
| 3 | $48,40 | $80,40 |
| 4 | $106,48 | $186,88 |
| 5 | $234,26 | $421,14 |

How to Read the Results
• Stake — how much each individual attempt in the chain costs.
• Total staked so far — the running total if every attempt up to that step loses.
• Stake at the last step / Total capital required — the two numbers to check against your actual deposit before turning Martingale on.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Martingale steps should I use?
Most traders use 4–6 steps. More steps recover from longer losing streaks, but the required deposit grows exponentially — check the stake at the last step above before deciding.
Does Martingale guarantee a profit?
No. Martingale doesn't change the probability of winning a trade, it only changes the stake size. If the underlying strategy loses more often than the step chain can cover, Martingale only makes the eventual loss bigger.
What multiplier should I use?
2.0–2.2 is the most common range: each step roughly doubles the previous stake plus a small margin for profit. Pocket Option Bot uses 2.2 by default.
This calculator is for planning only and doesn't guarantee a profit — trading in financial markets always carries the risk of losing funds. See how Martingale actually works in the full article.
