3:1 Risk-Reward is Bullsh*t - Bran Barrett [Full-Time Pro Futures Trader Since 2011]

Join Brannigan Barrett - full-time professional Futures trader for over a decade - as he debunks the myth of high risk-reward ratios in day trading. The truth is that high risk-reward ratios like 3:1 & higher are extremely rare (and mainly just exploited for ego or marketing purposes). When you break down the overall stats, you'll find that most traders have a risk-reward ratio around 1:1 or less (even for the best, most profitable traders out there).

Y'all are missing badly in these comments, lol. You will hit 1:1 80% of the time easily if you can actually trade. If this is not true for you, you are not a good trader at all. Go and backtest your 3:1 strategy moving your S/L to 1:1 when in profit 1:1.5. Journal how many times you hit your 1:3. Journal how many times the trade misses your 1:3. Finally journal how many times you actually hit 1:1 while missing your 1:3. You will discover capturing that 1:1 happens on almost every setup even when the 1:3 is not actualized.

I love the fact that most of the people on the comments are triggered by “bad risk to reward” concepts. But let’s remember that 90% of traders are failing to make money consistently in the markets. Thereby further validating the value of the concept that Barrett is talking about. Just think about it, if everyone is doing the same thing of chasing high targets and at the same time no one is really profitable from it, then logic dictates that using an inverse approach should give you more favorable results

90% of traders fail. Whats the number 1 thing most traders want? A high win rate. What is one thing majority of traders cant do? Hold trades for big targets and or add to a winning position. Logic dictates that the bigger targets allow for more room for error. 3 losses are back to break even with 1 win.

This are true statements when
Traders daytrade with 100 - 300 pips SL.

Most traders are lazy and they don't filter out to improve their niche/edge. I consider traders as data analysts and risk managers.

There are 3 to 5 opportunity on each instrument per week that can give 3:1 trades at least.

30 pips SL and 95 pips TP and these setups are predictable on M15 timeframe.

Anyway... that's his opinion. Controversial but we respect that.

Thanks for the quality of content Korbs. That's very entertaining. Wish you good 2024.

3 to 1 is good for some symbols but obviously not all.. like everything it depends what you are doing. Also it depends how you define 3 to 1 if you mean you will always take the loss at the full 1 then yeah I agree that's not that practical, but 3 to 1 is fine if you frequently get out of trades that are not going as planned, at a much lower loss than 1 or at break even

you got brannigan on my trading hero, now im a subacriber

[Yellowsupercar]

LISTEN TO THIS MAN, BEFORE 1:1 I DIDN’T WIN A SINGLE TRADE FOR MONTHS EVEN WHEN I KNEW THE TREND, IT WOULD ALWAYS REVERSE AND STOP ME OUT BUT WOULD ALWAYS HIT THAT 1:1 TP

[inANUTSHELLANIMATION]

i use negative risk to reward and i am a profitable trader. early i was using 1:3 and all that other nonsense and was constantly losing.

[levarosales]

i go for a 1:1 RR. how can I go about scaling my account properly to a point where I dont need my job. ?

[inANUTSHELLANIMATION]

people need to understand the casino concept

[robBOI]

I've been tracking about 30 different management systems over 2.5 years.. risking 1 for a reward of 2, all or nothing is the most profitable over that time compared to the others. 1 to 1 and 1 to .5 are towards the bottom of the list

[farhandanish]

Guys don’t listen to this bull shit aim more then 1:3 because when you have a drawdown period those 1:3 trades will save you those days

[carsonnoel]

only 1:1 is trash lmao. 2-3R in 35-50% very common

[MrDrMeow]

Flawed assessment. Most trades are 1:1 RR I agree however 1:1 at 40, 50, and 60 win % are still losing $ or at best breaking even. This is why interviewing traders is a joke. He’s just crafting a narrative. His win % would be roughly 70% to start making money risking 1:1. Plain and simple I would only interview traders who make their tax return public.
