Frequently Asked Questions

What does the calculator do?

Computes R:R ratios, breakeven win rates, and expected value for long/short trades with up to three TP targets. Visualizes risk vs reward and account risk %.

How is breakeven win rate calculated?

Breakeven WR = 1 / (1 + R:R). With 2:1 R:R you need about 33% win rate to break even before fees.
