How the recovery stake is calculated
A winning binary trade returns your stake multiplied by the payout. To get back the money already lost plus a target profit in a single win, divide that total by the payout (as a decimal). Each additional loss in the streak adds to the loss you're trying to recover, so the required stake climbs steeply.
How losses compound at an 80% payout
| Losses in a row | Cumulative loss ($10 base) | Recovery stake (+$10 profit) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $10.00 | $25.00 |
| 2 | $20.00 | $37.50 |
| 3 | $30.00 | $50.00 |
| 4 | $40.00 | $62.50 |
| 5 | $50.00 | $75.00 |
| 6 | $60.00 | $87.50 |
| 7 | $70.00 | $100.00 |
| 8 | $80.00 | $112.50 |
Notice how fast the stake grows. A martingale-style recovery plan can wipe out an account during a normal losing streak, because each required stake is larger than everything risked before it combined. Position sizing that survives streaks beats chasing them.
Frequently Asked Questions
It shows the single stake you'd need to recover a string of losses plus a target profit at your broker's payout, and how much of your account that puts at risk.
Because a binary win only returns the payout fraction, recovering past losses plus profit in one trade requires a stake larger than everything risked so far. Each added loss compounds it.
No. Doubling or stake-chasing recovery grows risk fast and a single extended losing streak can drain an account. Treat the output here as a warning, not a plan.
Many traders keep each trade to a small fixed fraction of the balance so no streak is fatal. The exact figure is personal — read our risk warning before deciding.
