Estimates use standard contract assumptions. Broker specs, spreads, commissions, swaps and account-currency conversion may vary.

Calculator results are educational estimates only. Broker contract sizes, spreads, commissions, swap, slippage, margin rules and account currency conversion can materially change real trade outcomes.
FAQ
Risk Reward FAQ
Answers for traders using this calculator before entering the market.
What is a good risk reward ratio?
There is no universal number. The ratio should fit your strategy, win rate and market context.
Can R:R guarantee profitability?
No. R:R is only one part of a trading plan and does not guarantee trade outcome.
Does this work for BUY and SELL trades?
Yes. The calculation uses absolute distance between entry, stop and target.
