Frequently Asked Questions

There is no universal number, but many traders prefer setups around 1:1.5 or 1:2 when the chart structure supports that target. Lower ratios can still work if the win rate is high enough.

No. A ratio is only useful if the stop loss placement is logical and the take profit is realistic. Stretching the target just to force a bigger ratio usually hurts execution quality.

Either is fine. Percentage risk is useful for keeping sizing consistent as the account changes, while a fixed dollar amount can be simpler for traders working with a strict daily risk budget.
