Risk:Reward Calculator

Entry, stop, and target → risk:reward ratio plus the win rate you need to break even.

How to use this

Risk:reward is the ratio of how much you stand to gain vs how much you stand to lose on a single trade. A 1:2 R:R means a winning trade pays twice your risk. The break-even win rate is what % of trades you need to win at that R:R just to not lose money over time - excluding spread, commission, and slippage.

Common myth: "Higher R:R is always better." Reality: very high R:R targets are often unrealistic in actual market conditions. A 1:2 R:R that wins 45% of the time is more profitable than a 1:5 R:R that wins 18% of the time, and the 1:2 setup tends to occur far more often. Match your R:R to setups your strategy actually produces.
