Not sure how a long-term investing standpoint differs from a trading perpective, but it depends upon how much you are willing to risk.

If you buy a share of ABC at $10 and have a stop at $9, then you are risking $1. If you believe the market to have a value or target of $12, then you are risking $1 to make an EV of $2, a 2:1 risk/reward ratio on that trade.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for. The Sharpe ratio may be a more suitable calculation to use, which will help you measure risk-adjusted returns.
