Risk:Reward & Win-Rate Cheatsheet

Author

The reward to risk ratio (RRR, or reward risk ratio) is maybe the most important metric in trading and a trader who understands the RRR can improve his chances of becoming profitable. Basically, the reward risk ratio measures the distance from your entry to your stop loss and your take profit order and then compares the two distances. Traders who understand this connection can quickly see that you neither need an extremely high winrate nor a large reward:risk ratio to make money as a trader. As long as your reward:risk ratio and your historical winrate match, your trading will provide a positive expectancy.

🔷 Calculating the RRRLet’s say the distance between your entry and stop loss is 50 points and the distance between the entry and your take profit is 100 points . Then the reward risk ratio is 2:1 because 100/50 = 2.

Reward Risk Ratio Formula
RRR = (Take Profit – Entry ) / (Entry – Stop loss)

🔷 Minimum WinrateWhen you know the reward:risk ratio for your trade, you can easily calculate the minimum required winrate (see formula below). Why is this important? Because if you take trades that have a small RRR you will lose money over the long term, even if you think you find good trades.

Minimum Winrate Formula
Minimum Winrate = 1 / (1 + Reward:Risk)
