DislikedWell I think when you're risk to reward ratio is negative, then it's pretty much guaranteed you're going to lose all your money.Ignored
The reason is you can think of a 2R trade as being a 1R trade where if you ever hit TP, you now imagine closing your 1R trade and then opening a new 0.5R trade at exactly the same price, with a new 1R take profit, and a 2R stop.
So in other words a 2R trade is just a 1R trade combined with a 0.5R trade.
You can of course imagine any massive R trade as being many negative R trades combined in this way.
The only reason to follow these kinds of rules regarding R, is when you have data supporting you for your specific strategy, otherwise it does not make sense.
