Risk/Reward Calculator
Calculate your potential profit compared to your maximum possible loss before entering a trade.
The Risk/Reward Calculator helps crypto traders evaluate whether a trade setup is statistically worth taking. By comparing stop loss distance to take profit distance, traders can quickly measure expected reward relative to risk.

How Calculations Work
Step 1 — Risk Distance
Risk Distance = abs(Entry Price - Stop Loss)
Example: 105000 - 102000 = 3000
Step 2 — Reward Distance
Reward Distance = abs(Take Profit - Entry Price)
Example: 111000 - 105000 = 6000
Step 3 — Risk/Reward Ratio
Risk/Reward Ratio = Reward Distance / Risk Distance
Example: 6000 / 3000 = 2
Step 4 — Final Ratio Display
Displayed Ratio = 1 : Risk/Reward Ratio
Example: 1 : 2
What Is Risk/Reward Ratio?
Risk/Reward Ratio measures how much potential profit a trade offers compared to its possible loss.
A good trade setup usually aims for higher reward than risk. For example, risking $100 to potentially make $300 creates a 1:3 risk/reward ratio.
This helps traders remain profitable even if not every trade wins.
Why Risk/Reward Matters
Many traders focus only on win rate, but risk/reward ratio is equally important for long-term profitability.
A trader with:
- •40% win rate
- •Consistent 1:3 risk/reward
can still remain profitable over time.
Proper risk/reward planning helps:
- •Improve consistency
- •Prevent emotional trading
- •Avoid low-quality entries
- •Build sustainable trading systems
- •Control downside exposure
Recommended Risk/Reward Ratios
| Trading Style | Suggested Ratio |
|---|---|
| Scalping | 1:1 – 1:1.5 |
| Day Trading | 1:2 |
| Swing Trading | 1:2 – 1:4 |
| High Probability Setups | 1:3+ |
Common Mistakes
Common risk/reward mistakes include:
- •Using unrealistic take profit targets
- •Moving stop losses emotionally
- •Entering trades without predefined exits
- •Taking trades with poor reward potential
- •Ignoring market volatility
