Risk/reward calculator

Test the trade after costs, then turn its payoff and your estimated win rate into a multi-trade expectancy scenario.

Price plan

The stop and target must sit on the correct side of entry for the selected direction.

What changes after costs

The raw price ratio compares the target distance with the stop distance. The net ratio subtracts fees and a slippage allowance from a winning trade and adds them to a losing trade. That is the ratio used for breakeven win rate and expectancy.

Expectancy formula

Expected value per trade = win rate × net target gain − loss rate × loss at stop. It is an average across a comparable sample, not a prediction for the next trade.
