How it works

RR = |target − entry| ÷ |entry − stop|

break-even win rate = 1 ÷ (1 + RR)

Worked example

Entry $100, stop $95, target $112: 1:2.4. You break even winning just 29.4% of such trades; everything above that is edge.

FAQ

What is a good risk-reward ratio?

Nothing is universally good; it pairs with win rate. Scalpers profit at 1:1 with 60% wins, trend traders at 1:4 with 30%. The mismatch is what loses money.

Should I skip trades below 1:2?

Only if your real win rate is below ~50%. Know your stats first; this calculator shows the arithmetic they must satisfy.
