Quoting philmcgrewDislikedDial, maybe that's the way you teach your dudes but the rest of the trading world is just the opposite and consider the intial risk to be 'R' not the reward as you suggest. You always know your R value. You can not know your R multiple until you've exited the trade since it is profit divided by risk. Regardless of the profit target most traders have some clue as to whether the trade in queston is worth risking their capital and engaging the market. You can read up on this in Van Tharp's Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom. The calculation is explained on page 144.Ignored
You can quit and they won't care, but you will always know.
