R:R ratio

MINIMUM WIN RATE TO BREAK EVEN
25.0%

Trade quality: EXCELLENT

With a 1:3.00 R:R, winning 25.0% of trades breaks even. Above that = profitable.

HOW TO INTERPRET R:R

  • 1:1 or below — requires 50%+ win rate. Hard to be consistently profitable unless you have a proven high win rate strategy.
  • 1:2 — only need 33.3% win rate to break even. Standard minimum for discretionary traders.
  • 1:3 — only need 25% win rate. Forgives bad days and losing streaks.
  • 1:4+ — excellent. Small edge produces large returns over time.
