Risk : Reward Calculator

Reading the R:R

R-multiple is reward divided by risk. A 1:2 setup means you stand to gain twice what you risk if the target is hit before the stop.

The breakeven win rate tells you how often the trade has to work for the strategy to be profitable in the long run, ignoring fees:

breakeven% = risk ÷ (risk + reward)

A 1:2 setup needs only ~33% wins to break even. A 1:1 needs 50%. A 2:1 (asymmetric losers) needs ~67% — which is why scalpers with thin targets need very high hit rates.
