Calculate the risk/reward ratio for a trade from entry, stop-loss and target prices.
Risk/Reward Ratio
1:3.00
How This Works
Risk/reward ratio compares how much you stand to lose (entry to stop-loss) against how much you stand to gain (entry to target). Many traders look for ratios of at least 1:2 or better before entering a trade.
Formula
Risk/Reward = |Target − Entry| ÷ |Entry − Stop-Loss|
Example
Entry at $50, stop-loss at $48, target at $56 gives a risk of $2 and reward of $6 — a 1:3 ratio.
