#RiskRewardRatio The Risk-Reward Ratio (RRR) is a metric used by traders and investors to assess the potential profit of a trade relative to its potential loss. It's calculated as:
Risk-Reward Ratio = Potential Loss / Potential Profit
Example:
If you're risking $100 to potentially make $300, your RRR is:
RRR = 100 / 300 = 1:3
This means you're risking $1 to potentially make $3.
Key Points:
A lower RRR (e.g., 1:3) is generally better, as it implies more reward for less risk.
A good rule of thumb for many traders is to aim for a minimum RRR of 1:2 or 1:3.
It doesn't guarantee profitability—win rate also matters.
