How it’s calculated

Risk = |entry − stop|. Reward = |take profit − entry|. R:R = reward ÷ risk. Break-even win rate = 1 ÷ (1 + R:R), before costs.

Frequently asked

What is a good risk-to-reward ratio?

There is no universal number. A ratio only matters together with how often a setup reaches its target; the break-even win rate shows the minimum required before costs.

Does this include spread and commission?

No. It compares price distances only. Use the profit/loss or position size calculator to include costs.

Why is my sell rejected?

For a sell, the stop must be above entry and the target below it.
