Think in R, not dollars

Lesson 7 of 14 in The Journal. Operator grade, 120 XP. Free to read, mission runs live in the terminal.

» R = your risk on the trade. If you risked $100 and made $200, that's +2R.

» Thinking in R makes every trade comparable, no matter the size.

» Good traders chase R, not dollar amounts. The dollars follow.

» Log a trade in R-multiples and feel how it reframes the win.

Watching a concept is not the same as running it, so every Academy lesson ships with a live mission inside the Tapeboard terminal. This one runs on the trade log in the trade journal (/journal/log). Reading is free; running missions takes a free account.
