I prefer the 2:1 risk reward. But yeah you need to trade above 75%.

Everyone has a strategy that works best for them, may I ask why you prefer 2:1 risk to reward?

well if you target is twice as close as your stop loss then basic probability is in your favour. you can then improve your profitability with 'runners'. happy to elaborate if that doesnt make sense.

So i guess its not really 2:1 .. its 2:1 on the first 66% of the trade. Once that target is met you can zero your stop loss and have 0:infinite on the remaining 33%..

Makes perfect sense! I use the same method with my positions, once target one has been achieved I'll move my stop loss into profit to bulletproof the trade.
