Compare this to a plan for a TP of 20 and a SL of 10 and 50% Chance of either a win or loss:
(20*.5)-(10*.5)=5
A 2:1 ratio with a 50% success rate is what everyone always uses as an example. Unfortunately, there aren't any systems out there that can reliably produce this level of success in the long run. If there were, anyone using such a system while containing risk to avoid getting wiped out during a bad streak would inevitably become rich.
Personally, I'd be happy with a 1:0.9 ratio and a 54% success rate if it could be maintained.
