How to Use This Calculator

  • Trade Direction: Select Long if you’re buying (expecting price to go up) or Short if you’re selling (expecting price to go down).
  • Entry Price: The price at which you plan to open the position.
  • Stop Loss: Your predetermined exit price to limit losses.
  • Take Profit: Your target price to lock in gains.

The Formulas

Risk = |Entry Price − Stop Loss|
Reward = |Take Profit − Entry Price|
R:R Ratio = Reward ÷ Risk
Required Win Rate = 1 ÷ (1 + R:R Ratio) × 100%

A ratio of 1:2 or higher is generally considered favorable. At 1:2, you only need to win 33% of your trades to break even. AlgoZilla signals typically achieve risk-reward ratios between 1:2 and 1:4.
