TradeLikeBerlin: Understanding Risk to Reward Management and Probability Game

Introduction

• Host: Berlin from TradeLikeBerlin.
• Focus of the session: Risk to Reward (RR) Management and Probability Game.
• Session divided into two parts: Theory and Practical implementation.

Importance of RR Management

• Many traders focus on strategies with high accuracy rates (e.g., 90%, 95%, 99%) but still lose money.
• Key Quote: "What matters is how much money you are making when you are right and how much money you are losing when you are wrong."

Example of RR Management

• Two Traders:
  • Trader A: 90% accuracy, ends in loss.
  • Trader B: 60% accuracy, ends in profit.
• Key point: It's not the win rate but how much you win compared to how much you lose.

Suitable Risk to Reward Ratios

• Minimum recommended RR is 1:2.
• Ideal RR ratio: 1:3 to 1:5.
  • Example: Losing ₹10 but winning ₹30 or ₹50.

Strategy Example: Fibonacci

• 10 trades using a 1:5 RR ratio.
• Worst case scenario: 6 losses, 4 wins.
• Outcome: Still ends in profit.
• Emphasizes the importance of not using a 1:1 RR ratio.

Key Traders and Advice

• Ed Seykota: "Keep cutting the losses, keep cutting the losses, keep cutting the losses."
• Importance of a healthy RR and cutting losses.

Probability Game

• No need for detailed chart analysis or specific strategies.
• Focus on numbers between 1 to 100.
• Example:
  • Track a ₹20 option.
  • If it reaches ₹40, buy with SL at ₹30 and target at ₹80.
• Implement this method 10 times and you should either break even or profit.

Example Outcomes

• Expectation: 4 wins and 6 losses out of 10 trades.
• Wins: Earn ₹40 per successful trade.
• Losses: Lose ₹10 per unsuccessful trade.
• Net result: Profit even with fewer wins due to a favorable RR ratio.

• Promise of practical application in future sessions.
