There's an inverse correlation between R:R and win rate.


The more R you target, the lower win-rate you will have.
The less R you target, the higher win-rate you will have.
Now why do you always see me target 2R ?
Because mentally I couldn't handle losing way more than I win.
Couldn't handle the long losing streaks.
Couldn't handle the long wait in between winning trades.
In fact, humans in general struggle to play any game where they lose 60% or more of the time.
Psychological studies also show the pain of losing is twice as intense as the pleasure of winning.
So imagine constantly feeling that negative feedback/energy on your trading more than the positive.
It sucks.
Thats why it's very difficult for many people to make low win rate strategies work.
Is it impossible? Absolutely not, just takes a much more hardened mind.
Which im not ashamed to say I don't have lol.
Target low hanging fruit objectives
Get your small piece of the pie
And be content with enough..
I really think you will find more consistency this way.
