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.
