Asymmetric payoff isthe upside probability (a mathematical calculation) is greater than the downside loss or risk.

Asymmetric payoff is the outcome of a trade has more profit than loss .

As you can see in the graph below, asymmetry is preferred over symmetry: (symmetry is when your risk and reward is balanced, so the outcome for profit is the same as the outcome for loss.
