📍What Is the Risk/Reward Ratio?
The risk/reward ratio marks the prospective reward an investor can earn for every dollar they risk on an investment.

We have mentioned it in a list of our previous educational posts and we will state it again: your risk-reward plan is much more important than your win rate.

For example with a 20 pip stop,...
