    *   QuantConnect University
    *   Martingale Position Sizing Experiment
    *   
    *   Martingale is a [risky/gambling] technique which can be applied to trading:
    *   When a trade is going against you, double down and flip the position (long -> short). 
    *   If the position is still going against you continue flipping direction until you win.
    *
    *   Typically martingale curves are perfectly straight, until they drop off sharply a cliff! 
    *   This is because they hide the intra-trade risk and only show the closing profits. QC shows the full 
    *   equity curve exposing true martingale risks.
