Risk

What is the Sharpe ratio?

The Sharpe ratio asks: how much return did you get per unit of risk? Higher return alone isn't always better if the ride was brutal.

How StockIT helps you practice this

The risk/reward bar is your game-friendly Sharpe cousin: more return per unit of swing beats raw return chasing. Fill the bar with smarter mixes.

In-game tip: “Sharpe Ratio Matters” — Higher returns aren't always better - you want more return per unit of risk.
