How it works

Enter entry, stop, and target. The calculator returns risk/reward ratio, required win rate, and potential profit/loss so you can compare multiple setups instead of judging each one emotionally in isolation.

Formula

Risk/Reward = (Target − Entry) ÷ (Entry − Stop) for longs. A ratio above 2:1 is often preferred because it lowers the win rate required to stay profitable over time. The cleaner the target and stop placement, the more useful the ratio becomes.

Example

Long at $100 with stop at $95 and target at $115: risk = $5, reward = $15, risk/reward = 3:1. You can be wrong twice for every win and still stay near breakeven before fees. If the same trade only targets $108, the ratio drops sharply and the idea becomes less attractive unless your win rate is unusually high.

Tips

  • Aim for ratios ≥2:1 to offset inevitable losses.
  • Tighten stops only if they still respect the setup structure.
  • Combine with position sizing to keep dollar risk consistent.

FAQ

Is 1:1 ever okay?

Only if win rate is very high; most traders prefer at least 2:1 to build edge.

Does slippage change the ratio?

Yes. Include expected slippage and fees for a realistic view.

What win rate do I need?

At 2:1, break-even win rate is ~33%. At 3:1, ~25%.

Should I move targets?

Adjust only if the market structure changes; avoid cutting winners too early.
