I risked 0.5% of my account with a stop loss of 12 pips to get 1% of total amount in a take profit of 20 pips. This represents a Risk Reward Ratio of 1.5.
The only problem was I had to go to work and I could not follow the trade by my self, so I had to set a very short take profit and stoploss.
See the picture above and you will figure that I could do 3 times more profit if I had not gone out too soon.
