Risk/Reward Calculator
About This Calculator
The Risk-to-Reward Calculator is a fundamental tool for disciplined traders. It helps you assess whether a potential trade offers sufficient reward relative to the risk you're taking. Professional traders typically only take trades with favorable risk-reward ratios (1:2 or better).
How It Works
- Entry Price: The price at which you enter the trade
- Stop Loss: The price where you'll exit to limit losses
- Take Profit: Your target profit price
- Risk Amount: How much you're willing to lose (Entry - Stop Loss)
- Reward Amount: Potential profit (Take Profit - Entry)
- R:R Ratio: Reward divided by Risk (e.g., 1:3 means $3 reward for $1 risk)
Use Cases
- Evaluating whether a trade setup is worth taking
- Setting optimal stop loss and take profit levels
- Maintaining trading discipline and consistency
- Comparing multiple trade opportunities
