Frequently asked questions
- What is a good risk-reward ratio?
- Most traders target a minimum of 1:2 (risk 1 to potentially make 2). A 1:3 ratio is excellent — it means you only need to win 25% of trades to break even.
- Does the ratio work for short trades?
- Yes — for shorts, your stop is above entry and your target is below. The calculator uses absolute differences, so it works identically for long and short positions.
