R-multiple
A trade result expressed as a multiple of the risk you defined (1R). It makes setups comparable regardless of position size in PLN.
Definition
An R-multiple expresses a trade result as a multiple of the risk defined in advance (1R = the distance from entry to stop-loss in money). It makes setups comparable: +2R is twice what you risked, whether the trade was in forex or in stocks.
Example
You risk 150 PLN to your stop (1R). You close with a profit of 300 PLN → +2R. Another position loses 150 PLN → −1R. In your journal you compare series in R, not just in “feelings” and raw PLN at varying size.
Anti-example / common mistake
Moving the stop after entry and still calling it “a −1R trade”, or entering without a defined 1R. Without a fixed definition of R the metric is useless.
