What “flat staking” means
The same stake on every trade, win or lose — no doubling, no multiplier, no recovery sequence. Losses add up linearly: five losses at $1 cost $5, ten cost $10. You know what a bad streak costs before it happens, because nothing compounds.
Worked comparison: five losses in a row
| Trade | Flat $1 stake | 2x Martingale from $1 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $1 | $1 |
| 2 | $1 | $2 |
| 3 | $1 | $4 |
| 4 | $1 | $8 |
| 5 | $1 | $16 |
| Total | $5 | $31 |
Five identical losses cost 6.2 times more under 2x Martingale, because each stake builds on the last instead of resetting. Neither method changes how often a trade is right — they change what a run of wrong trades costs. The full cycle-cost table is in Martingale risk explained.
Where this sits in Avalisa PO Bot
Straight answer: Avalisa has no flat-stake setting. Both modes — Martingale and Avalisa Bot (Pro) — apply the post-loss multiplier (2x to 3x) and the Martingale Steps cap. What you control is how far a losing cycle can run:
- Steps = N allows N + 1 trades in a losing cycle, then the stake resets to the start amount.
- The smallest cap is Steps 1: two trades, 1 + 2 = 3× the base stake at 2x (1 + 3 = 4× at 3x). That is the closest the bot gets to flat staking.
- At 2x, Steps 3 costs 15× and Steps 5 costs 63× the base stake.
- The default is Infinite — the cycle keeps going until a win, a manual stop, or the next stake exceeding the balance (the bot then pauses). Change it before you start.
- There is no separate stop-loss or daily-loss-limit setting; limiting Steps is the cap.

Choosing between them
This is about exposure, not prediction. Martingale is a recovery strategy: after a loss it raises the next stake so one later win covers the run. Flat staking has no recovery logic — each trade stands alone and the cost of being wrong stays constant. If your question is “what is the worst this streak can cost me?”, flat staking answers it trivially; with Avalisa, a low Steps value answers it before you press Start.
Either way, the payout sets the line you need to clear: break-even win rate = 1 / (1 + p), about 52.1% at a 92% payout — see honest win rates and break-even.
Risk statement
Binary options are high risk, and a system that multiplies stakes after losses can lose more than you expect. In our large-sample measurements no setting has beaten break-even. Use only money you can afford to lose. Trading involves risk. Avalisa does not guarantee profits. Start on a demo account.
Frequently asked questions
Does flat staking reduce the chance of losing a trade?
No. It changes the cost of a losing streak, not the trades. The streak that costs $5 flat costs $31 at 2x Martingale from a $1 base.
Can I run Avalisa with a flat stake?
No. The multiplier always applies after a loss. Setting Martingale Steps to 1 limits a losing cycle to two trades (3× the base stake at 2x).
Is there a stop-loss I can set instead?
No separate stop-loss or daily-loss-limit setting exists. Limiting Martingale Steps is the cap, and the bot pauses when the next stake would exceed your balance.
Where should I try my settings?
On a demo account. The extension places trades the same way on demo and real accounts.
Set a cap, then test on demo
Install Avalisa PO Bot from the Chrome Web Store, set Martingale Steps before your first run, and judge it on demo. The free Demo plan includes 10 Martingale trades; Basic is $69 one-time; Pro is $119 one-time or $29/month (a recurring subscription) — see pricing.
