Understanding Risk-Reward Ratios for $EURCAD

When we talk about risk-reward, it's simply the ratio of how much you're willing to lose versus how much you stand to gain on a trade. For instance, if you were considering a long on $EURCAD around its current 1.60646, with a stop loss at 1.60400 and a target at 1.61200, your potential risk is roughly 24 pips and your potential reward is 55 pips. That's a risk-reward of about 1:2.3, which is generally considered reasonable for many setups, assuming your probability of success is also favorable. It's a critical element for managing capital.

While the 1:2.3 ratio looks appealing on paper, the underlying catalysts for such a move in EURCAD are more critical. A good ratio doesn't guarantee a higher probability trade.

Good example of calculating it out. Do you usually aim for a specific risk-reward ratio, or does it vary a lot depending on the setup?
