Risk-to-Reward & Break-Even Win Rate Math
The Risk-to-Reward (R:R) ratio measures the expected return for every unit of capital risked. The higher your R:R ratio, the lower your required win rate to achieve profitability.
Formula Definition:
Risk_to_Reward = (Target_Price - Entry_Price) / (Entry_Price - Stop_Loss_Price) Break_Even_Win_Rate = ( 1 / (1 + RR_Ratio) ) * 100%Trader Risk Best Practices
- check_circleAt 1:2 R:R, you only need a 33.3% win rate to break even.
- check_circleAt 1:3 R:R, you only need a 25.0% win rate to break even.
- check_circleAvoid taking trades with less than a 1:1.5 R:R in discretionary trading to leave room for slippage and fees.
