Let's talk briefly about odds.
Which has better odds of making a profit? Risking 1 to make 2 or risking 2 to make 1?
1:2 has 33% odds to win, 2:1 has 77% odds to win. Most people would then say "well the end profit is the same, it evens out" but that's not true as win rate is for each individual trade. It's not cumulative like everyone thinks. Ex: If you take 2 trades with 33%, odds are you lose both. If you take 2 trades with 77%, odds are you win both.
