# R-multiple

A trade's result expressed in units of its initial risk. Risking $200 and making $600 is +3R; hitting the stop is -1R. It makes results comparable across account sizes and position sizes.

GFN’s figure

In R terms a GFN 1 Step evaluation is straightforward to size: 10% at 0.5% risk per trade is +20R net, and the 8% drawdown floor is 16R of room.

- **1 Step Target at 0.5% risk**: +20R
- **1 Step Drawdown room at 0.5% risk**: 16R
- **2 Step Phase 1 target at 0.5% risk**: +16R

In detail

## R-multiple, explained

R-multiples strip out position size, which is the only honest way to compare trades taken at different sizes or on different accounts. A journal kept in R is far more useful than one kept in dollars.

Expressed in R, an evaluation becomes a simple arithmetic problem: a target divided by risk per trade gives the net R needed to pass.

## Terms that come with it

Most rules only make sense next to the ones they interact with. These are the entries this one depends on.

- [Risk-reward ratio](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/risk-reward-ratio) - The size of a trade's target relative to its stop, expressed as a ratio. A 2:1 trade risks one unit to make two, which sets the win rate the strategy needs in order to be profitable.
- [Expectancy](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/expectancy) - The average result of a trade over a large sample, combining win rate and average win and loss. A positive expectancy is necessary for a strategy to work and not sufficient for it to pass an evaluation.
- [Trade journal](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/trade-journal) - A record of every trade with its reasoning, size, levels and result. It is the only way to find out whether a strategy is being followed, as distinct from whether it is working.
- [Fixed fractional](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/fixed-fractional) - Risking a constant percentage of equity on every trade, so position size falls after losses and rises after gains. It is the standard position-sizing model and the one most prop rules assume.
- [Profit target](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/profit-target) - The virtual gain required to pass an evaluation phase, stated as a percentage of the starting balance. It is the only objective you have to reach; every other rule is something you have to avoid.
