But then as soon as you place the first trade of a planned martingale system, you are committing to that deal, with all the probabilities and gamble involved - once in, you can't get out until you win. That increases risk on the very first trade above what it would otherwise be... @Reya

Since a following trade isn't independent of any later trades, which under the martingale system, have to be placed bythe forex trader, don't these have to be factored into risk/reward as well?
