Enter your entry price, stop loss, and target to instantly calculate your risk-reward ratio and the win rate needed to be profitable at that R:R.
Risk-reward ratio compares the potential profit of a trade to its potential loss. A 1:2 risk-reward means you risk $1 to potentially make $2. Setting minimum risk-reward thresholds before entering trades is one of the most powerful ways to improve trading performance.
At 1:2 R:R, you only need a 33% win rate to break even. This means even traders who are wrong more than half the time can be profitable — if their winners are consistently twice the size of their losers. Most professional traders target a minimum of 1:2 R:R.
| Risk-Reward Ratio | Break-Even Win Rate |
|---|---|
| 1:1 | 50% |
| 1:1 | 40% |
| 1:1 | 33.3% |
| 1:1 | 28.6% |
| 1:1 | 25% |
