How Risk-Reward Works

Risk-reward ratio compares potential loss against potential gain based on the entry, stop loss, and target values entered. It is a reference calculation and does not predict outcome or strategy quality.

Assumptions

Results may vary by broker, exchange, instrument, contract size, fees, and market conditions.

Example Calculation

Example inputs for a long EUR/USD scenario:

  • Entry Price: 1.1000
  • Stop Loss: 1.0950 (Risk = 50 pips)
  • Target Price: 1.1100 (Reward = 100 pips)
  • Ratio: 100 / 50 = 1 : 2.00

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good risk-reward ratio?

A higher estimated ratio indicates a larger potential reward relative to the potential risk. Whether a ratio is useful depends on assumptions, fees, market conditions, and user analysis. This calculator is for reference only.

Why is my ratio showing 0?

This happens if your target price is worse than your entry price based on your chosen direction, or if your stop loss is not logically positioned. Check the warning messages below the calculator inputs.
