Understanding Risk:Reward
What is R:R?
Risk:Reward ratio compares your potential loss (risk) to potential gain (reward). A 1:2 ratio means you risk 1 unit to potentially gain 2 units.
Why it matters:
With a 1:2 R:R, you only need to win 34% of trades to break even. Higher ratios allow lower win rates while staying profitable.
What is a Risk/Reward Visualizer?
The risk/reward visualizer helps you understand the relationship between risk-to-reward ratios and win rate requirements. It shows visually what win rate you need to be profitable at different R:R levels.
This interactive tool demonstrates why higher risk-to-reward ratios allow for lower win rates while still being profitable, helping you design trading strategies with positive expectancy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Risk:Reward (R:R) compares how much you risk versus how much you could gain. A 1:2 ratio means risking 30 pips to gain 60 pips. Higher ratios mean you need lower win rates to be profitable.
Many traders aim for at least 1:2, meaning each win covers two losses. However, this depends on your win rate. A 1:1 ratio works if you win more than 50% of trades. Find what fits your style.
At 1:1 R:R, you need >50% wins to profit. At 1:2, you only need >34%. At 1:3, just >25%. Higher R:R gives you more room for error but harder-to-reach targets. Balance is key.
Not necessarily. Very high ratios (1:4+) often mean tight stops or distant targets that rarely hit. Many professional scalpers use 1:1 with 65%+ win rates successfully. Find what suits your strategy.
