Thread: Need some help with R/R

  1. #1
    Hey ff. I dont understand why im having struggles with this, but heres my problem.

    Im pretty new to trading (ive just been doing demo trading for the last year-ish. Read a book or two on trading. Nevertheless learning lots) and ive been wanting to keep a good R/R for my trades. Im figure out how im supposed to keep a 3:2 or 2:1 R/R ratio. I dont understnd the way the pips are installation.

    Any help would be appreciated. Additionally I feel like im more of a scalper. I enjoy not having to have a big risk but prefer to make smaller profits. Information or any books would assist me tons. For indiors ive noticed RSI has helped me a lot. Im buying around the 20-30 mark and selling in 70-80. Its something ive been messing about with on the demo. Ive also thought about starting live at a month or so. I know that the demo account isnt like the same as a live account so the best way is to test it out right?

    Any input is appreciated!
    Thank you

    Not sure if this is a valid question, but I have a few minutes to kill, so here goes.

    Risk-to-Reward, the clue is in the name.

    Nothing to do with pip setups.

    Should you risk 200 dollars, and also make 400, you've only achieved 1:2. Not sure what is so difficult to grasp.
    Should you insist on talking about pips afterward, risk 10 and also make 20. There you go,.
    1x risk for 2x reward. (or 3x of 4x or anything you like) Simples.

    Stop dicking about with RSI and learn the basics;-]

    Trust me on this
    Ask yourself a simple question what's different about me I can triumph when 95% fail within this business
    5% winners go extra mile,remain additional long,study 5more hours and others,search incisively for answers,emulate great traders in short they enthused about trading.
    If you believe you enjoy trading because you can seat on seat pressing buttons then you've got no clue what's stored for you.
    It's hard not only skill wise but plogically as well.I am hard on you but much better telling you the truth then giving you a false hope.
    Greatest bible line which to me encompasses everything in life.

    Ask and It Is Going to be given to you; hunt and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you

    IMHO As everytrade is not the same trade then each SL and TP ought to be different. I target a spacific place for TP as as long as I get 1:1 or longer it's worth the risk.

    Lots of free content around the web can assist you with that. Like the others say, use google or the search function here and you'll find exactly what you're searching for. Fantastic luck!

    R:R is a post trade calculation. You will automatically begin restricting yourself whether you set a TP based on a predetermined stop. This is the very reason why large players know where your orders are placed and take you out. Drop the indiors and read the articles of .

    Good fortune. It is very difficult to be a thriving retail trader in the largest decentralized market.

    Your article suggest a idle attitude.You can find anything online by googling couple of minutes.If you anticipate spoon feeding you then have ZERO chance to create it.
    Only strong,committed,flexible,enthusiastic people survive.
    This post probably you didn't anticipate! But you must show attempt before asking help especially what you are asking is basic trading 101
    You should not even trade live until you have the basics right.
