Understanding Risk:Reward

A 1:2 R:R means you risk 1 unit to gain 2 units. With a 1:2 R:R, you only need to win 33.3% of trades to break even. Higher R:R ratios allow profitable trading even with lower win rates.

Expectancy = (Win Rate × Avg Win) – (Loss Rate × Avg Loss)

Positive expectancy means the strategy is profitable over the long run, regardless of any individual trade outcome.
