Hi there,

Greetings from new member. This is my first thread in this forum and I hope this content of mine is helpful to other fellowship members who's still beginners and keep looking for ways out of their problems in trading.

It's called risk and reward ratio. How does it important for us? Of course it is, because we'll know how much risk we want to take per trade and how much of money we can afford to lose, since we can't expect to get profits all the time from market, yes? Knowing that we're competing ourself to other traders in market, we must be careful before taking any decisions to market because everything will determine our result.

I got few recommendations about risk and reward ratio and which amounts are best for beginners to help them learn trading and able to feel the experience of profit taking and losing accepting in this business. There are the ratios: 1:2, 1:4, and 1:10. Where the first number indicates how much we want to risk our money and the second number indicates how much rewards we're looking for.

Simple math needs to be explained. In first case with 1:2 risk reward ratio and we got $100 deposit, where we can risk our money $10 and then our expected profits should be $20. Our stop loss will be $10 and $20 is our next take profit. And so with any examples you can make on your own as long as it follows the listed risk to reward ratio that I've suggested before. The bigger the reward, the longer we must hold the trade without increasing the risk and keep it fixed.

Win ratio 7: 3 is good in trading

Use risk percent against capital or pips in each of our orders

I also often use a risk reward ratio of 1: 2 because it matches the strategy and installation of the TP and SL that I use. In my opinion, the use of the right risk reward ratio needs to be considered so that the trading results are optimal.

the winning rate actually plays a bigger role, although the risk reward ratio must not be ignored. The bigger the winning rate, the more secure the condition, even though in some trading systems it applies risk> reward. Moreover, if the risk <reward with a high winning rate will also produce more profits. That means the key must be to find / use a trading system that is truly consistent with a relatively small winning rate deviation.

I also often use the risk benefit ratio because it matches the strategy and installation of the TP and SL that I use. the use of the appropriate risk reward ratio needs to be considered so that the trade results are optimal. so from there we can reach out to what we don't want to happen to us.

Right bro, I also often use risk and reward 1: 2, although sometimes I also use Risk and reawrd 1: 1 if the take profit area is not large according to my analysis.

right this is the most basic thing for Risk Management, namely with Risk and Rewards. meaning that if we want profit, we must also be prepared for losses. that is called RR.

the risk reward ratio is indeed a pretty good MM and if implemented properly it will have the opportunity to increase profit potential.

the ideal risk reward ratio in my opinion is 1: 2 but there are also those who use 1: 3, that's also good.

RRR is one of the important money management especially for beginners, so traders must understand and apply it well.

The function of the risk reward ratio itself is indeed to maximize profit targets and minimize risks.

nice explanation about basic Risk and Reward because in the transaction there must be profit and loss so it must be calculated well. for RR 1:10 is it not too big?

the best is we enter when new trends are formed. if we enter when the trend is over, it will be disastrous
