Would you suggest otherwise
In general terms yes.
I often see people quoting R/R based upon a price somewhere in the future
and a stop level at X difference being their ratio.
As you have.
In itself it is quite meaningless as it at best is an anticipated figure.
The closed trade figure will determine your ACTUAL R/R.
You can manipulate the figure by simply moving to B/E as soon as you can your anticipated R/R may ne 1:0.5
but in reality your closed trade R/R could be vastly different.
One I use often I picked up on the SPI thread by Trader Girl--with a twist of M/M from myself.
Its simply fading very high volume moves at resistance or support.
Initially using a 10 tick stop and looking for a 5 tick profit.
It has a particularly high win rate --- around 75% so 7.5 x 5 ticks = 37.5 tick to 25 tick loss.
a 1:1.5 R/R.
My version is closer to 1:2.4
My win rate is 65% though---Ill leave it to you work that out!
Good trade management will see far better closed R/R. than anticipated R/R if trading discretionary.

Don’t know about your broker, but mine has about a 2 point spread on NZDGBP, and a 9 point spread on GBPNZD. The two charts are the mirror image of each other – you’re better off trading whichever one has the tighter spread.

Hi Bunyip,
I got stopped out on this trade unfortunately, but my broker doesn't offer NZDGBP only GBPNZD?
My spread is about 5 points for GBPNZD.

Not to your level T/H.
But do some short term stuff.
Nothing like 50-100 trades a day.
