The Risk/Reward Ratio compares the potential loss (risk) to the potential profit (reward) of a trade.
Example: If you risk $100 to make $300, your R/R ratio is 1:3.
Good Practice: Professional traders aim for ratios of 1:2 or better to ensure profitable trading over time.

Complete Guide to Spot Trading Risk Management
Spot trading involves buying and selling cryptocurrencies at current market prices. Unlike futures trading, there's no leverage involved, which means your maximum loss is limited to your initial investment.
Why Use Take Profit and Stop Loss?
Setting predetermined exit points is crucial for successful trading:
- Take Profit: Locks in profits when your target price is reached
- Stop Loss: Limits losses by automatically selling at a predetermined price
- Emotional Control: Removes emotion from trading decisions
- Discipline: Enforces a structured trading approach
Position Sizing Strategy
A common professional approach is to risk only 1-2% of your total capital per trade. This calculator helps you visualize how different position sizes affect your potential profits and losses.
