Calculated Take Profit
5125.00
Based on your entry, stop-loss, and selected target RRR.
Optional Money Estimate
RRR is based on trade structure. Currency only matters when estimating money risk, money reward, position size, pip value, point value, tick value, or account exposure.
Risk Planning
A trade needs enough upside to justify the downside.
A strong setup is not just about being right. It is about whether the potential reward is worth the risk if the trade works — and whether the loss is controlled if it does not.
The basic formula
Risk / Reward Ratio = Potential Reward ÷ Potential Risk
A 1:2.5 setup means the planned reward is 2.5 times the planned risk. This does not guarantee profit, but it helps traders understand whether a trade is structurally worth considering.
