📐 Profit percentages can mislead you. Measure every trade in “R” instead.
R is the amount you agree to risk before entry.
Example:
• Entry: 100
• Stop: 98
• Risk per unit: 2 = 1R
• Target: 104 = potential +2R
Why this matters:
1️⃣ Different trades become easy to compare.
2️⃣ Position size can change while account risk stays controlled.
3️⃣ You can evaluate whether the expected reward justifies the risk.
4️⃣ Your journal shows process quality—not only profit in dollars.
A 70% win rate is not automatically profitable if losses are much larger than wins. Always review win rate together with average R gained and lost.
وحدة R تعني مقدار المخاطرة المحدد قبل الدخول، وتساعدك على مقارنة الصفقات وإدارة رأس المال بوضوح.
Do you record your results in money, percentages, or R-multiples?
