How to Use Martingale Tracker: A Step-by-Step Guide

October 7, 2026 · 5 min read

Martingale Tracker is a free web app that helps you plan a series of trades, follow a daily target and stop at the right time. It works in your browser without an account. This guide walks through each part of the app, from setting your numbers to saving your results in the calendar journal.

1. Set your capital, trades and target

At the top of the app are three fields:

• Capital: the amount you are putting into one series. This is the amount you could lose if every step of the series loses, so it should be a small part of your trading money. See position sizing.
• Trades: the number of steps in the series. Use the minus and plus buttons to change it.
• Target: how much you want to make for the day.

The app uses a 92% payout to calculate each step so that a win at any step recovers the earlier losses and makes the same profit. To understand the math, read the martingale strategy explained.

2. Read the series

Below the fields, each step of the series is shown as a box with its trade size. The current step is highlighted in yellow. Underneath, the app shows three numbers for the current step:

• Mise: the size of the trade to place now.
• En risque: the total at risk in the series so far, including this trade.
• Si genyen: the profit if this trade wins.

3. Follow your target

The target section shows your profit per winning series, how many wins you need to reach your target, and your final capital if you get there. A table shows your balance after each win, with a flag on the final one, and a progress bar fills as you go.

Lock Balans fixes the table on your current balance, so the plan does not change during the session. This makes it easier to follow your plan. See how to build a trading plan.

4. Record each trade with WIN and LOST

• WIN: adds the profit to your capital, counts one win toward your target, and starts a new series at step 1.
• LOST: moves to the next step of the series. The lost steps are marked with a red cross.
• RESET: goes back to step 1. After you reach your target, Reset starts a new objective from your new balance.

5. Know when to stop

The app is built to help you stop on time:

• When you reach your target, the WIN and LOST buttons are disabled, and a message reminds you to stop and come back in 24 hours. See why to stop at your target.
• If every step of a series loses, the app deducts the full series from your capital and asks you to take a 24-hour break to manage your emotions. See why to stop after a big loss.

6. Save your results in the calendar journal

When a session ends, either at your target or after a full losing series, the app shows your session result and today’s date. Choose Anrejistre (save) to add the result to your calendar, or Pa anrejistre (don’t save) to skip it.

The calendar needs a free account, so your journal is saved and available on any device. Open it with the calendar icon at the top left. It shows your monthly and annual results, your winning and losing days, your win rate, and your best and worst days. You can also add or delete entries by tapping a day. See how to keep a trading journal.

7. Watch the video guides

The info icon at the top right opens short video guides on using the app.
