#RiskToReward : "Why 90% of Traders Fail: They Don't Respect the Risk-Reward Ratio!"
Most traders chase profits.
Smart traders calculate risk first.
Here’s the hard truth: If your Risk:Reward ratio is 1:1 or worse, you’re not trading — you’re gambling.
Let’s break it down:
Scenario 1: Risk:Reward = 1:1
Win Rate Needed: Above 50% to be profitable.
Not sustainable for long-term success.
Scenario 2: Risk:Reward = 1:2
Win Rate Needed: Only 34% to break even.
This is how professional traders stay in the game.
Scenario 3: Risk:Reward = 1:3
Win just 25% of trades, and you’re still growing your capital!

So what’s the real edge?
Enter trades near key levels (support/resistance).
Keep tight stop-losses — don't over-risk.
Always aim for higher reward zones — trend continuation, breakouts, liquidity zones.
Golden Rule:
“Take trades where your potential reward is at least 2-3x your risk — every single time.”
Because it's not about how many trades you take,
it's about how much you risk to win what matters.
