1:1 Risk/Reward Frowned Upon?

I think so...

You also need to be able to use a trailing stop. And here, I suppose, a lot depends directly on the trading system itself, on the input signals that it gives, on the timeframe on which it is used. DEPENDS on the conditions provided by the broker. In general, I don't see much point in putting a trailing right away. I tried it. In history, it turns out to be a loss anyway. Maybe it's just me. But if you put it in the area where the take was planned, then maybe something will come of it. I think.

you guys should back test different strategies with different money management setting to see what actually works.

tell your strategy to chatgpt and it will code it for you....then see what make a difference and what not etc....
