#RiskRewardRatio The risk-reward ratio (RRR) is a way to measure the potential profit of a trade relative to its potential loss. Here's how it's calculated:
Risk-Reward Ratio = Potential Loss / Potential Gain
Example:
If you're entering a BTC trade at $70,000, with:
A stop-loss at $65,000 (risk = $5,000)
A take-profit at $80,000 (reward = $10,000)
RRR = 5,000 / 10,000 = 0.5
This means you're risking $1 to make $2 — a solid 1:2 risk-reward setup.
Ideal Ratios:
Day traders often aim for 1:1.5 or higher
Swing traders/investors often want 1:2 or 1:3 setups
The higher the ratio, the fewer trades need to be winners for you to be profitable
