#RiskRewardRatio
The risk-reward ratio (RRR) is a metric used in trading and investing to compare the potential profit of a trade or investment to its potential loss.
Formula:
Risk-Reward Ratio=Potential Loss (Risk)/Potential Profit (Reward)
Example:
If you're risking $100 to potentially gain $300, the RRR is:
100/300=1:3
This means for every $1 risked, you aim to make $3.
Interpretation:
1:1 = Equal risk and reward
1:2 or better = Favorable, as the reward is at least twice the risk
Higher ratios (e.g., 1:3, 1:4) = More potential reward per unit of riskte to assess long-term profitability.
Traders often use RRR along with win rate to assess long-term profitability.
