Risk-Reward Calculator
Evaluate your trade setup quality
Calculate the risk-reward ratio for any trade setup. A good R:R ratio (2:1 or higher) is essential for long-term profitability, even with a modest win rate.
Enter your entry, stop-loss, and take-profit targets to instantly see risk in pips, reward in pips, and the exact ratio. The calculator also tells you how much price must move to reach your target so you can judge if the setup aligns with current volatility.
Pair this R:R calculator with the profit/loss calculator and our trade setups lessons to build a checklist that only green-lights trades offering at least 1:2 or 1:3 expectancy. Consistently filtering for high reward-to-risk trades protects your equity curve even if your win rate dips.
