Trading in crypto can always go both ways, you either win or lose. That’s why it’s always good to be prepared for any possible outcome and bear the consequences of your actions. Most of the time people tend to into a trade blind sided with no actual information about the assets. This is why I think it always advisable to have a good risk-reward ratio, to help cut down your losses if the trade doesn’t go well as expected.

The risk-reward ratio is a strategy that is commonly used by many experts in trading cryptocurrencies. It helps one to determine their reward in a particular market against the risk involved. When you understand this, you’ll then know whether you should proceed in making the risk and invest in that trade.

Most of the time, especially when it comes to beginners they tend not to factor in this risk-reward ratio before proceeding into making an investment or trade. At the end, the risk is significantly higher and they tend to be in a loss when the market goes the other way.

Also, we should keep in mind that it is not only about risk-reward ratio that can make a successful trade in crypto. We should always perform our fundamental and technical analysis on crypto assets before we even think about investing or trading. With this knowledge, you’ll be able to weigh the pros and cons which is to say, you’ll determine whether the profits you’ll make out of the investment is actually worth the risk.

Now when it comes to risk-reward ratio, its good to always make sure that they are proportional and that one is not significantly higher than the other. To be on the safer side, make sure the risk is minimal so that you’re able to recover from loss when the market goes sideways.

Even with that, we know how the market can be extremely volatile sometimes. This is why it is also necessary to set up stop loss and other mechanisms which will also help manage your risk and at the end, if there is loss in the trade it can be reduced.
