my friend does forex trading. anytime we ended discussing it he always talks about "the ladder method."
or basically. "you'll win as long as you have money to burn method.",
Yameteh Stepladder!
basically. you bet 1 dollar, if you lose, bet 2 dollar, then if you lose again 4, then 8, then 16 and so on and so forth until you win or give up.
What do I think of it? It's a good strategy actually. You will always recoup the losses and gain 45% if the payout is 95% if you finally win.
The strategy is good because the trader will always want to win not to lose. so while on paper it's a 50-50 chance, it's not.
The only caveat here is that you must have money to burn.
