this reminds me of my early years of my trading ..usually i use 10-30 usd capital to trade
there is one time where i follow the trend ...until i'm able to achieve 9000 dolars from 30-100 usd capital.
this means , nothing is impossible in trading , as long as u have good determination , passion and more important , patience.
and after i withdraw 5000 dollars from broker , i try to gain from balance 4000 dollar but i cant ...because i lose the trade during Japan earthquake early 2011 (the one causing the nuke reactor leaking) ..
man ..nothing is impossible ...just the time is not right for you...u need to brush up the trading ...even me myself try to discover new way of trading ...using price action, EW,martingle and so on ..
but patience is the key .without it , u will not achieve anything ...period
Martingle still works these days? Quite risky imho.
A lot of EA based on Martingle dont end up well.

honestly, any strategy can work and make money. keep it simple. why people blow their account and cannot grow their account is coz of poor MM.
it doesn't matter if you can do 20 straight wins but 1 gold trade or greedy trade take out those profits.
just focus and improve on your MM. it's actually pointless to go search for the best technical analysis or trading system if your MM sucks.
took me quite a while to realise this and also cost me my first account which was usd1500.
Greed is a killer. I think it happens for most people....
Once upon a time... I earned USD 1500 in 1hr......then I think I m god, I keep trading for the sake of trading...One spike, boom. USD 2000 fly away....

Once upon a time...that was...erm...I think my first month of trading live account. Lesson learned... Never be greed.
