1-to-12 Risk-Reward Trading Strategy
TL;DR
A multi-timeframe trading strategy uses higher timeframe direction confirmation combined with lower timeframe entries to achieve 1-to-12 risk-reward ratios, with stops below recent lows and targets on significant upside moves.
Key Takeaways
- 1The strategy combines higher timeframe directional bias with lower timeframe entry signals for confirmed trades
- 2Risk-reward ratio of 1 to 12 is achievable, meaning risking $1 to potentially gain $12 per trade
- 3Stop loss is placed below the low that gets 'stabbed,' defining the exact risk level for each trade
- 4Targets are set to the upside with potential profits realized within 2-5 hours based on the example shown
- 5Entry occurred at 10:00 a.m. with target hit the same afternoon, demonstrating intraday execution
Notable Quotes
“You're looking at a 1 to 12 opportunity.”
“Beauty of this model is it happens on the higher time frame for direction. And then it happens again on the lower time frame for entry.”
Chapters
1. Entry Setup
Entry is triggered when a low gets stabbed; stop loss is placed directly below that low to define risk precisely.
2. Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
Higher timeframe provides direction bias, while lower timeframe confirms the exact entry point, creating a dual-confirmation model.
3. Target and Execution
Upside target is set with a 1-to-12 risk-reward ratio; the example trade entered at 10:00 a.m. and hit target by afternoon.
