Profitability Analysis

Required Win Rate for Breakeven

33.3%

You need to win at least 33.3% of your trades to break even with this risk-reward ratio. A higher win rate will make you profitable.

💡 Quick Guide:

  • • Win rate > 33% = Profitable
  • • Win rate = 33% = Break-even
  • • Win rate < 33% = Losing money

🎯 Position Sizing

Position sizing is crucial for risk management. Never risk more than 1-2% of your capital on a single trade. This ensures you can survive a series of losses without depleting your account.

🛡️ Stop Loss is Mandatory

Always use stop losses to limit your downside. Know your exit point before entering a trade. Your stop loss should be based on technical levels, not arbitrary percentages.

📊 Risk-Reward Ratio

Aim for a minimum 1:2 risk-reward ratio (risking ₹1 to make ₹2). This allows you to be profitable even if you win only 40% of your trades. Better ratios give more margin for error.
