Three Setups to Test on a Demo Account

How the Steps setting shapes a cycle

In Martingale mode the stake doubles after each losing trade (multiplier 2x). Martingale Steps is the maximum number of recovery steps before the bot returns to the start amount: Steps = N allows N + 1 trades in a losing cycle. Limiting Steps is how you cap a losing streak, and when the next stake would exceed your balance the bot pauses.

All three setups share the same base: Strategy Martingale, multiplier 2x, Pair Scan on current pair only (the simplest to watch), your usual trade expiry, and a minimum payout % set so the bot skips low-payout pairs. Direction (Always Buy, Always Sell or Alternating) is your choice. Only the Steps value changes. For the full cost table see the Martingale calculator.

Watch it on a demo account (1:45)

The whole flow in under two minutes, recorded on a real Pocket Option demo account: set your rules, press Start, watch a step sequence play out, press Stop.

Demo account, no real money. Every result in the video is one demo session; a step sequence can also lose every step, so set a Steps limit you can afford and try it on demo first.

Setup 1 — Careful demo test (Steps 1)

The smallest exposure for watching how the bot behaves. Steps 1 means at most 2 trades per losing cycle before the stake resets. The worst case of one losing cycle is 3× the start amount — $3 with a $1 start.

Setup 2 — Small start (Steps 2)

After each loss the next stake doubles; with Steps 2 the bot stops recovering after at most 3 trades and resets to the start amount ($1 → $2 → $4). A fully losing cycle costs at most 7× the start amount.

Setup 3 — Longer cycle (Steps 3)

The recovery runs one trade longer before resetting: Steps 3 allows up to 4 trades in a losing cycle. The worst case of that full cycle is 15× the start amount. Each extra step doubles the last stake, so raise Steps one at a time and only after watching the smaller setups.

Keep the Pocket Option tab visible while the bot trades — see why the tab must stay visible. The extension places trades the same way on demo and real accounts, which is what makes demo the right place to learn a setup.
