What is your average risk to reward ratio?

Hi guys,

A question for full time profitable traders. What is your average risk to reward ratio?

Perhaps no full time traders bother with forex factory?

//----

perhaps the markets have them quite busy at this point....... many have already put in a rough 9 hours.......

mine would probably average 1 to 1.....h

Hehe thanks hayseed. You are the only one so far...

It's a poll that I wanted to do with more options:

less than 1:1
1:1
1:2
1:3
1:4
1:5
1:5 <---> 1:10
1:10 <---> 1:25
1:25 <---> 1:50
more than 1:50

But i haven't the option poll activated when I started a new thread and i don't know how to activate it.

Edit: I found the solution: First post a new thread and then post a new poll.

Sorry but I'm a newbie.

Too risky:Too greedy

The question is good and not only for experienced traders as myself, this is a question every trader should ask him/herself.
I do not use a fixed percentage on risk:reward because I don't expect the market to give me a fix reward every time.
If I would have to make a little table with risk:reward ratio, probably it would look like this, keeping in mind that my trading style has 1 (maximum 2, now and then) losing trades out of 10 and my SL is the same every time:

Risk Reward Occurance
1 0.5-1 1/10
1 1-1.5 3/10
1 1.5-2 2/10
1 ~2 2/10
1 >2 2/10

Most of the times the traders do not ask themselves the risk:reward ratio as they are focused on how much money they can make from every trade. Most of the times, the losing trades are more than the winning trades and/or risk:reward is much higher on the risk side than on the reward side which would result in a losing system/trader in the end.

Website myfxbook has a handy function to show this.

it is strongly recommended that novice traders should not even think about taking positions with a risk/ratio of as high as 1:1 or even 1:2.

recommended by whom ?
