Frequently Asked Questions
How is risk-reward ratio calculated?
Risk-reward ratio = potential profit / potential loss. A 1:3 ratio means you could make 3 units for every 1 unit risked. Most traders aim for at least 1:2.
What stop loss percentage should I use?
This depends on your strategy and asset volatility. Common ranges are 1-3% for swing trading and 3-5% for position trading. Always set stops based on support/resistance levels rather than arbitrary percentages.
How does long vs short affect SL/TP prices?
For long positions, stop loss is below entry and take profit is above. For short positions, stop loss is above entry and take profit is below.
