Every trade is a trade-off: how much you could gain vs how much you could lose. That's risk vs reward.

StockIT's boost tip nails it: "More risk, more reward." There's no magic high return with zero risk. The goal isn't zero risk — it's worth it risk.

Detective mode: the risk-reward bar surfaces when a trade has a favorable ratio — more upside than downside. You're not doing math in your head; you're spotting value the way a good broker scans a desk full of tickers. Trade smart, earn energy.

Personal fit matters too: "Only take risks you can sleep with at night." If a position makes you anxious, it's too big — in the game and in life.

After enough rounds, "is this reward worth this risk?" becomes your first question automatically. That's an educational result that sticks because you felt it in play.
