The Fatal Mistake — Ignoring the Risk-Reward Ratio
Risk-Reward Ratio — A mistake that silently destroys your account
Risk-Reward Ratio
It compares the potential loss with the expected profit on a trade.
A 2:1 ratio = risk $1 to make $2
Crypto example: BTC • ETH • SOL
Real-life example:
Target: 64,000 → Stop-loss at 58,000 USDT (2,000-) → Correct 1:2 ratio
But without a stop-loss, the price drops to 55,000 → Loss of 5,000 = -2.5R
Why does this mistake happen?
• No prior plan or stop-loss
• Greed for quick profits
• Revenge trading after a previous loss
• Only enter if the profit is ≥ twice the loss
How it affects you — Trader psychology
Hope and denial — delaying closing the trade in the hope that the price will recover
Fear of missing out (FOMO) — entering randomly without analysis
Steps to protect yourself
1- Don’t risk more than 1-2% of your capital
_(The remaining steps were repeated in the image due to the design. The correct steps are: Set a clear target, use at least a 1:2 ratio, and stick to the plan.)_
