Stop Loss
A pre-defined price level at which a losing trade is closed automatically. The foundation of risk management — trading without a stop loss exposes the account to unlimited risk.
Risk-Reward Ratio
The ratio of potential profit to potential loss on a single trade. A 1:3 RR trade risks $1 to make $3. Strategies with RR above 1:2 can be profitable even with win rates below 50%.
