What is a good risk/reward ratio?

A risk/reward ratio (R:R) compares how much you stand to gain versus how much you're willing to lose on a trade. A 1:2 R:R means you risk $1 to make $2.

Most professional traders target a minimum R:R of 1:1.5, with 1:2 or better being the standard. Here's why: with a 1:2 R:R, you only need a 33% win rate to break even. With a 1:1 R:R, you need 50%.

The break-even win rate formula is: 1 ÷ (1 + R:R ratio) × 100. At 1:3 R:R, you break even at just 25% — meaning you can be wrong 3 out of 4 trades and still not lose money.

The best traders combine a solid R:R ratio with honest journaling — tracking actual win rate vs. the break-even threshold for every setup type. SuperTrader calculates this automatically from your trade history.
