Minimum Ratio
The trader defines the lowest acceptable planned reward compared with planned risk.
Entry Filter
The rule can discourage trades where the target is too close or the stop is too far away.
Plan Versus Outcome
The rule evaluates the planned setup. It does not guarantee the trade result.
Why This Rule Exists
Some trades are emotionally tempting because the entry feels obvious, but the math is weak. The stop may be wide, the target may be close, or the setup may not offer enough potential reward for the risk being taken.
A minimum risk reward ratio rule turns that judgment into a predefined boundary. The trader is no longer deciding from excitement after the setup appears.
What This Rule Does Not Do
A risk reward rule does not say a trade is good. It does not measure probability, news conditions, liquidity, or whether the trader's strategy has edge.
It only checks whether the planned target and planned stop create a ratio that meets the trader's own minimum requirement.
TradeReign Enforcement Context
TradeReign supports a required risk/reward ratio rule for supported workflows. The user defines the minimum ratio and chooses the available response behavior.
This page is intentionally separate from max risk per trade. Risk/reward ratio is about payoff relationship. Max risk per trade is about absolute dollar exposure.
FAQ
Common Questions
What is a risk reward ratio rule?
A risk reward ratio rule requires the planned reward on a trade to meet a minimum relationship to the planned risk. For example, a trader may require planned reward to be at least two times planned risk before the trade is allowed.
Does a higher risk reward ratio guarantee better results?
No. A risk reward ratio is only one part of a trading plan. It does not predict market direction or guarantee profitability. It simply defines whether the planned payoff is large enough relative to the planned risk.
Can TradeReign enforce a minimum risk reward ratio?
TradeReign includes a required risk/reward ratio rule for supported workflows. The user defines the minimum ratio and the enforcement behavior available in their settings.
