DCA / Martingale bot
Average down automatically and exit the whole position on a small bounce — marketed with win rates above 90%.
What it actually does
Opens a position, then adds increasingly larger safety orders as price moves against it, moving the break-even closer so a small reversal closes everything in profit.
Where it exists

Before running it anywhere, compare what the round-trips will cost on the fees page — on thin edges the fee tier decides the outcome.
Our out-of-sample verdict: 96% wins, net-negative
Our replay of a martingale scalper showed a 96% win rate — and a negative total. The rare losing trades are the ones where every safety order filled, so a single loss erases dozens of small wins. High win rate is the illusion this bot type sells; expectancy is what pays.
