📊 Risk Reward Ratio: The Trader’s North Star ⚖️
Every trade is a calculated gamble—risk-reward ratio is my compass. Here’s how I use it to filter noise and focus on high-probability wins:
How I Calculate & Apply RRR
I never enter a trade without a 1:3 RRR minimum. For example, if I risk $100, I target $300 in profit. To set this:
1. Stop-Loss: Place it at a logical support/resistance break or a 2-3% loss cap.
2. Take-Profit: Aim for 3x the risk distance, aligned with historical resistance or Fibonacci extensions.
Tools I Trust
- Fibonacci Retracement/Extensions: Identifies realistic profit zones and pullback levels.
- ATR (Average True Range): Measures volatility to set dynamic stop-losses.
- Support/Resistance Zones: Pinpoints low-risk entry points with clear exit triggers.
Real-World Impact
In April 2023, I spotted SOL consolidating near $20. Using RRR:
- Stop-Loss: $18 (10% downside risk).
- Target: $26 (30% upside, 1:3 RRR).
The trade hit my target in 2 weeks. Even if it had failed, my system ensures losses stay small while winners compound.
Another example: Skipped a memecoin pump because its RRR was 1:1. It crashed 60% hours later—proof that discipline beats FOMO.
Why It Works
- Emotion Killer: Predefined exits prevent greed or panic from hijacking decisions.
- Math Over Hype: Focus on trades where rewards objectively justify risks.
Mastering RRR isn’t about winning every trade—it’s about losing smartly and winning bigger. 🎯
