Break-even Win %
// R:R Ratio
Reward distance ÷ risk distance. A trade with 1:3 R:R needs only ~25% win rate to break even.
// Break-even Win %
= risk ÷ (risk + reward) × 100. Below this win rate, the strategy bleeds money.
// Tip
Most pros refuse trades with worse than 1:1.5 R:R unless their win rate is exceptional.
