The Reward to Risk Entry Settings let you control when your bot enters a trade based on the potential profit compared to the potential loss. This helps you ensure your bot only takes trades that fit your preferred risk/reward profile.
Reward to Risk is the ratio between your potential profit (based on your take profit level) and your potential loss (based on your stop loss).
If your take profit is much larger than your stop loss, the reward to risk is high.
If your stop loss is larger than your take profit, the reward to risk is low.
The Auto Trader calculates this percentage automatically every time a trade signal is triggered.
You can set Reward to Risk requirements in the entry rules (inside the Auto Trader creator flow or the bot settings popup):
Minimum %: The trade will only enter if the reward-to-risk ratio is greater than or equal to your chosen percentage.
Maximum %: The trade will only enter if the ratio is less than or equal to your chosen percentage.
Both: You can set a minimum and maximum to define an acceptable range.
Always enter percentages as whole numbers. For example, 30% = 30.
Let’s say you want your bot to only take trades with at least a 200% reward to risk:
Take Profit = $300 potential gain
Stop Loss = $100 potential loss
Reward to Risk = $300 ÷ $100 = 300%
Since 300% is greater than your minimum of 200%, the bot will allow the trade.
If another trade has:
Take Profit = $90
Stop Loss = $100
Reward to Risk = $90 ÷ $100 = 90%
This trade would be blocked if your minimum is 200%.
By setting Reward to Risk Entry rules, you can:
Filter out low-quality trades automatically.
Ensure your strategy only takes trades that fit your comfort level.
Add an extra layer of discipline and consistency to your bots.
Reward to Risk = potential profit ÷ potential loss.
Use entry rules to set a minimum, maximum, or both.
Enter values as whole numbers (e.g., 200% = 200).
Example: $300 profit / $100 loss = 300% Reward to Risk → trade passes if min ≤ 300.
