What is the risk/reward ratio?

The risk/reward is the ratio between the potential gain and the potential loss.

Example: We have a target at +100pips and our stop is at -50pips. Our risk/reward ratio will be 50/100 = 0.5

In the technical analysis we try to have a risk/reward < 0.5. Our potential gain should be twice of our potential loss.
More the trend is clear more we accept high risk/reward.
