Calculate the risk-to-reward ratio of a trade and the win rate you need to break even, from your entry, stop-loss and take-profit.
You need to win more than the break-even rate for this R:R to be profitable.
The risk-to-reward ratio compares what a trade can lose at its stop-loss with what it can make at its take-profit. It does not say whether a trade will win; it says how often it has to win to be worth taking.
Enter your entry, stop-loss and take-profit. The calculator shows the risk and reward per coin, the ratio, and the break-even win rate: the share of trades that must hit the target for the strategy to make zero before costs.
A higher ratio lowers the win rate you need, but targets further away are reached less often. Judge a setup on both numbers together, never on the ratio alone.
Entry 65,000, stop-loss 64,000, take-profit 67,000.
There is no single good number. 1:2 needs a win rate above 33%, 1:1 needs above 50%. A strategy that wins 60% of the time can be profitable at 1:1; one that wins 30% needs better than 1:2.33.
Fees, slippage and funding reduce every win and enlarge every loss, which pushes the win rate you need up. On tight stops the effect is largest.
Yes. For a short the stop-loss sits above the entry and the target below; the calculator uses the distances, so the ratio and break-even rate work the same way.
