#RiskRewardRatio The risk-reward ratio measures potential loss vs. potential gain in a trade. It's calculated like this:
Risk-Reward Ratio = (Potential Loss) / (Potential Profit)
Example:
If you risk $100 to potentially gain $300, the ratio is 1:3 — meaning for every $1 you risk, you aim to earn $3.
Why it matters:
A good ratio helps manage losses over time.
Many traders aim for 1:2 or better.
Even with 50% win rate, a positive ratio can keep you profitable.
Use it with stop-loss and take-profit levels for smarter trading decisions.
