[Guide] the secret of people who profit even at a 40% win rate — setting your risk-reward (RR)

beginners obsess over 'win rate', but real pros watch the risk-reward (RR). the key: - RR = how much you make per win ÷ how much you lose per loss. Stop at 100, target at 300 = RR 3:1 - Even RR 2:1 is long-term positive at a 40% win rate. (4 wins of +800, 6 losses of -600 → +200) - Conversely, RR 0.5:1 (take small, hold losses long) loses even at 70% win rate - That's why 'cut losses short, let winners run' is the cliché. Set your stop + target BEFORE entry, and if RR is under 1.5, don't take it bottom line: stop trying to be right every time. Build a structure where you lose small when wrong and win big when right. That matters more than win rate.
