The Risk/Reward Ratio Calculator is a vital tool for traders in Forex, Stocks, and Crypto. It helps you quantify the potential profit of a trade relative to its potential loss.
Professional traders often stick to a minimum ratio of 1:2 or 1:3. This means for every $1 they risk losing, they aim to make $2 or $3 in profit. This mathematical edge allows you to be profitable even if you lose more trades than you win.
Why use this calculator?
- Visualize the Ratio: Instantly see if a trade setup is worth taking.
- Calculate Exact Dollar Amounts: Input your position size to see exact PnL (Profit and Loss).
- Auto-Detect Direction: Works for both Long (Buy) and Short (Sell) positions.
- Protect Your Capital: Ensure you aren't risking too much of your portfolio on a single trade.
