Re: Risk/reward in the Long Run ...

Im surprised no one has directly mentioned position size. If you enter at X and determine Y is a good place for your 'technical' stop based on market structure (for example above the last swing high) you are now in good shape to determine your position size based on how much you want to put at risk.

The key metric (imho) is risk of ruin. My favourite site that talks about that is http://www.traderscalm.com/ Im not affiliated just thingk its a great little site and free to boot.
