1:1 Risk Reward Ratio - Why it just makes sense

I take it you didn't want to read then, or maybe you did read and didn't understand? If you couldn't find the relevant posts then would you like me to help you find them, or do you think you can find them on your own?

1:1 Risk Reward Ratio - Why it just makes sense

I think you probably need to read the preceding post(s) to understand the context and which specific ratio was being referred to, and why. Then ask a relevant question if things are still unclear to you......or don't.

What, you think it wouldn't be interesting to see those numbers, do you think they'd be irrelevant?

1:1 Risk Reward Ratio - Why it just makes sense

Nice easy to understand summary of trading!

How do forex traders predict price?

I'm not sure anyone is disputing that are they? R:R is just one ratio, it might be interesting to see some Sharpe (or similar) ratios as well.

Roofx, I think you might be missing a lot of posts, or maybe misunderstanding them?

1:1 Risk Reward Ratio - Why it just makes sense

I think it becomes easier if one looks at it as simply 'buying', 'selling', and 'exposure' rather than SL and TP, it's more applicable not to mention helps relieve some of the psychological challenges. Having said that, we also need to try and keep ...

1:1 Risk Reward Ratio - Why it just makes sense

I don't remember mentioning any particular ratio, just letting profitable trades run when the opportunity arises and the market offers profit. Personally my trades are closed when the market, and my analysis of it, indicate they should be closed ...

Huh? Evidently. You're excused....

1:1 Risk Reward Ratio - Why it just makes sense

Troll them? Not trolling anything, just presenting and supporting an opinion, counter it seems to the majority here. Do you have an opinion about the subject or anything to say that's related maybe? Really, is that what makes trading so great for ...

LOL I'm sure he'd like to be....it's just as well we live in different continents! Why's your guy wearing a womans corset?

1:1 Risk Reward Ratio - Why it just makes sense

No difference there then. I'm also reducing risk and locking in profit, I just haven't banked it yet. That's a dangerous and inaccurate assumption to make. What's to stop me doing likewise and adding to my position? I'm already on the train, with no ...

And win rate is of primary importance, why? I don't understand your point, seriously, if there's any merit in it I'd like to know!

1:1 Risk Reward Ratio - Why it just makes sense

lol, I'm with you. Yes technicals, fundamentals, and trade management. If the market looks undecided I'll lock in profit, maybe reduce exposure, or a combination of both and then see where it takes me.

1:1 Risk Reward Ratio - Why it just makes sense

As long as your decision is based on something logical then great, that makes sense to me, it's the illogical win rate chasers who I can't fathom. They seem more focussed on winning than maximising profit and minimising risk.

1:1 Risk Reward Ratio - Why it just makes sense

I'm not disagreeing with that point, I'm saying 'it just depends on what the market offers'. It seems some people have no logical reason for setting a mandatory 1:1 other than to have a high win rate and take the money and run when it's available. ...

1:1 Risk Reward Ratio - Why it just makes sense

Less risk for more reward is obviously best, it just depends on what the market offers. I keep asking but nobody has answered, why would anyone purposely cut profit short if it's being offered, what's the rationale behind that approach?

1:1 Risk Reward Ratio - Why it just makes sense

Anything can be just as effective as anything given the right circumstances! You're the one who started talking about your profits, I was just pointing out the discrepancies. Your claim is that 1:1 can compound an account faster than a higher R:R. I ...
