Risk/Reward Basics

The Risk/Reward ratio compares the potential loss (risk) to the potential gain (reward) of a trade. It's expressed as 1:R, where R is how many times greater the reward is than the risk.

1:2 or higher is considered favorable

1:1 is break-even with 50% win rate

Below 1:1 requires high win rate

  • Never risk more than 1-2% of your account on a single trade
  • Expected value is the best indicator of a trade's long-term profitability
  • Consider moving stop loss to breakeven when your trade is in profit
