Negative RRR but high winrate?

[maria_fp]

I think that when people say “negative” RRR, they normally just mean “less than 1.0”, not really negative at all.

@Addison1985

negative RRR means you make a lot of profit for every loss

Why does it mean this?

@flamingoproxy

in professional and institutional trading circles, an ‘R’ of around 0.7 is very common, and an R above 1.0 is much rarer

This information matches my very limited second hand knowledge of 2 former colleagues who now trade for a living, one has reward to risk of two thirds (0.67) and the other three quarters (0.75), of course each with high win rate. Both are encouraging me accordingly.

I have also read (but this is only internet information) that among people doing prop firm challenges, the few who pass mostly have low R and high win rate, and people who try with higher reward to risk like 2/1 are normally in the failing majority. I believe this, anyway.
