Firstly, you shouldn't link risk/reward with leverage. They are seperate discussions.
Secondly, risk/reward should only be one part of the equation. Your trading performance expectation is based on two primary factors: 1) Your win%, 2) The ratio of the size of your average gain vs. your average loss. The latter is basically you risk/reward ratio.
If you're risking 25 to make 10, then your win/loss ratio is .40 (10/25). That means you must having winning trades at least 75% of the time to be net profitable over time (based on equal trade sizes).
