R-Multiple
Pronunciation: AR MUL-ti-pul
A trade’s result measured in units of the risk you took ("R").
Definition
R-multiple expresses a result as a multiple of your initial risk. "R" is the amount you planned to lose if the trade failed. If you risk 100 and make 200, that is +2R; if you lose the full 100, that is −1R. Thinking in R makes trades comparable regardless of position size.
Example
You risked 50 on a trade and made 150 in profit. The result is +3R (150 / 50).
