A 1:3 TRADE DOESN'T NEED TO WIN EVERY TIME
At a 1:3 risk-to-reward ratio, a winning trade earns three times the amount risked, before costs.
In a simplified model, the breakeven win rate is 25%, before spreads, commissions, slippage, and other costs.
The lesson isn't to chase a ratio. It's to understand how your actual strategy performs over a meaningful sample.
