We will also try to bust a few myths about R:R and how to avoid losing trades.
Before entering a trade, you need to determine 3 things.
1. Entry trigger
2. Stop loss
3. Target
Generally a set of reasons AKA confluence is a higher probability trade and a generally a safer entry.
Example of an entry trigger.
The price in the opposite direction of the trade where the trade is exited, at a loss.
At this level, the reason for the entry becomes invalidated according to TA and the price can then move in the opposite direction, probabilistically.
Target is the next path of least resistance from where the price might reverse.
We will always ONLY use TA to determine all 3.
We will try to understand what really R:R in this thread.
R:R simply is the ratio of the distance between entry and target, and entry and the stop loss.
Here is an example of the R:R ratio
If the target is 10% above the entry and the stop loss is 5% below the entry, the RR is 2:1
YOU SHOULD NOT BE ENTERING A TRADE UNLESS THE R:R IS KNOWN.
A fixed minimum R:R is necessary for taking a trade.
Even Murphy in his book has advocated for the same but in my opinion it is a wrong benchmark to have.
Sticking to a fixed RR can prevent us from entering a high probability trade at times, eg at confluences.
Profitability depends on 2 factors. R:R and win rate.
Study the chart below.
Eg. If your win rate is 50%, you will be at breakeven at a R:R ratio of 1.
The formula to calculate the same is as below.
-Test your strategy
-Find your win rate
-Use only the R:R setups which suits your win rate.
Eg. Always choose a trade with R:R greater than 2 if win rate is around 33%

To further enhance it, I have added a cross indicator on the cross which works the best historically on Alts.
Condition 1- The cross.
Entry is made when a Cross occurs on the EMA 13/21.
The indicator automatically indicators the Cross with P for a positive cross or N for a negative cross.
This is the first condition for an Entry.

I’m torn on how to approach the idea of luck. I’m the first to admit that I am one of the luckiest people on the planet. To be born into a prosperous American family in 1960 with smart parents is to start life on third base. The odds against my very existence are astronomical.
I’ve always felt that the luckiest people I know had a talent for recognizing circumstances, not of their own making, that were conducive to a favorable outcome and their ability to quickly take advantage of them.
In other words, dumb luck was just that, it required no awareness on the person’s part, whereas “smart” luck involved awareness followed by action before the circumstances changed.
So, was I “lucky” to be born when I was—nothing I had any control over—and that I came of age just as huge databases and computers were advancing to the point where I could use those tools to write “What Works on Wall Street?” Absolutely.
Was I lucky to start my stock market investments near the peak of interest rates which allowed me to spend the majority of my adult life in a falling rate environment? Yup.

"Luck is the flip side of risk. They are mirrored cousins, driven by the same thing: You are one person in a 7 billion player game, and the accidental impact of other people\u2019s actions can be more consequential than your own."
