    Obviously it does depend on your starting date and your starting stake size compared to your starting capital. Here is a starting stake size of 6 on a capital of just 5K starting just before the 2008 crash.

    …but had the starting stake been just 5 then this happens:

    Which I guess just proves that if you want to increase your risk as you win or decrease your risk as you win the most important thing is starting with enough capital to be able to actually win.

    So I guess that is the lesson learnt from this little exercise in reverse thinking.
