Why 90% of Traders Fail: They Ignore This Simple Math



You can be wrong 7 out of 10 times and still make money. How? Risk to Reward Ratio.

If you always risk $1 to make $3, you only need a 30% win rate to be profitable.
- 3 wins x $3 = +$9
- 7 losses x $1 = -$7
- Net: +$2

Yet most beginners risk $100 to make $20. They need a 90% win rate just to break even. The market isn't your enemy. Bad math is.

I'm reviewing my R:R on every trade while grinding PointPrize Period 18 on Gate. Discipline pays. What's your average R:R? Be honest below.
