Managing trading risk effectively is the cornerstone of a profitable trading strategy. The Risk to Reward Ratio (RRR) is an essential concept for risk management in forex trading.

Features of the Risk Reward Indicator​

1. Visual Display of RRR:
   
   • The indicator calculates and displays the risk-to-reward ratio directly on the chart.
   • Example: RRR = 1:3.76, where the first number (1) represents the risk, and the second (3.76) represents the reward.
2. Horizontal Lines:
   
   • Green Line: Represents the take-profit (TP) price level.
   • Red Line: Represents the stop-loss (SL) price level.
   • Blue Line: Marks the entry price.
3. Automatic Calculation:
   
   • Computes the RRR for both long and short trades based on the entry, stop-loss, and take-profit levels.

How the Indicator Calculates RRR​

1. Risk Calculation:​

• For Long Trades:
  Risk = Entry Price – Stop Loss (SL)
• For Short Trades:
  Risk = Stop Loss (SL) – Entry Price

2. Reward Calculation:​

• For Long Trades:
  Reward = Take Profit (TP) – Entry Price
• For Short Trades:
  Reward = Entry Price – Take Profit (TP)

3. Risk-to-Reward Ratio:​

RRR = Reward ÷ Risk

Example Calculation:

• Entry Price = 1.07985
• Stop Loss (SL) = 1.07922
• Take Profit (TP) = 1.08222

Risk:
1.07985 - 1.07922 = 0.00063

Reward:
1.08222 - 1.07985 = 0.00237

RRR:
0.00237 ÷ 0.00063 = 3.76
Thus, RRR = 1:3.76.

Using the Risk Reward Indicator for Trading Decisions​

Good vs. Bad Trades:​

• Good Trades: RRR ≥ 1:2
• Bad Trades: RRR < 1:2

Example Scenarios:​

1. RRR 1:2:
   
   • Risk = 30 pips
   • Reward = 2 × 30 = 60 pips
2. RRR 1:3:
   
   • Risk = 30 pips
   • Reward = 3 × 30 = 90 pips

By ensuring a favorable RRR, traders maximize profitability while minimizing losses.
