I equate reward with volatility--like a stock moves 7% on average from high to low per day. I equate risk with predictability and a risk to reward ratio as predictability to volatility.

I can't help it if a bunch of fools create all these nonsensical notions about what these terms mean. Risk isn't volatility and it is categorically different from predictability. You equate risk/reward to predictabilty/volatility? This is nonsensical. Predictability can't even be defined and volatility isn't a stable measure. In fact, it can't be rigorously defined. It's just public hand waving.
