🎯 Risk/Reward Ratio Calculator
Calculate the risk/reward ratio of any trade setup and determine if the trade is worth taking.
Standard forex lot = $10/pip, Mini = $1, Gold (XAUUSD) = ~$15
How to Use the Risk/Reward Calculator
- Enter your entry price — Where you plan to open the trade
- Set stop loss price — Your exit point if the trade goes against you
- Set take profit price — Your target exit for a winning trade
- Enter position size — Number of lots you plan to trade
- Input pip value — The dollar value per pip (standard lot = $10)
What is a Good R:R Ratio?
Most professional traders aim for a minimum 1:2 risk/reward ratio — risking $1 to make $2. However, the ideal R:R depends on your win rate:
| Win Rate | Minimum R:R | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 60%+ | 1:1 | Risk $1 to make $1 |
| 50% | 1:1.5 | Risk $1 to make $1.50 |
| 40% | 1:2 | Risk $1 to make $2 |
| 30% | 1:3 | Risk $1 to make $3 |
R:R vs Win Rate — The Breakeven Formula
Breakeven Win Rate = Risk ÷ (Risk + Reward)
Example with 1:2 R:R: 1 ÷ (1+2) = 33.3% — you only need to win 1 out of 3 trades to break even.
