Assuming you're talking about risk-to-reward ratio, it means how much you risk vs how much you stand to gain. I have a winning rate of <50% yet I am profitable - the greater "risk ratios" your strategy holds, the lower the win rate required to be profitable.

Another way to look at it is just keeping your losses small while letting your winners run. If you have a solid risk-to-reward ratio—like 1:3 or even better—you can afford to lose a few trades without wrecking your account.

I've had times where I took a bunch of small hits but then hit a big winner that covered those losses and more. So, it’s all about patience and not getting rattled when you hit a rough patch. Just remember, consistency beats perfection any day!

I have this with my own trading strategy. But some many people do not understand that you can be profitable with a win rate lower than 50%

Yea, it's pretty hard to comprehend it emotionally - but it's key to profitability. There's just too many factors affecting the markets, having a high R:R ratio just gives you a better odd at profiting.
