your confusing me now...here are your posts...which is it?

well i tried it last month on demo ,it works like magic,just have patience,the good thing you alwayas hedged and getting positive %

no,demo was 100:1 with negative% and nearly doubled

1.this is when you trading in real account with 50:1
2.you can't change margin on demo

Hey maybe you can tri-ple and use 400:1...does FXCM pay you interest in that leverage...

Mr double is of course making a joke here. I would say this--This strategy does work, but only if ridiulously underleveraged (extremely less than 1 to 1) at the first trade.

Underleveraging does not an edge make.

Actually it does. However, most traders are not patient enough to be underleveraged.

No, it doesn't.

You bet the minimum when you are forced to play at a losing game -- eg, roulette. Start with a million chips and $1 bet, keep betting on black using martingale, and you might provide the illusion of having an edge on the game temporarily. But it still doesn't change the house edge of 5.26%.
