Risk to Reward Formula

RR Ratio = (Target Price - Entry Price) / (Entry Price - Stop Loss Price)

Variables Explained:

Risk per Unit Entry Price - Stop Loss Price (for Long trades) or Stop Loss - Entry (for Short trades)
Reward per Unit Target Price - Entry Price (for Long trades) or Entry - Target (for Short trades)
Breakeven Win Rate 1 / (1 + Reward:Risk Ratio) × 100

  • Entry Price ₹1,000
  • Stop Loss Price ₹980 (Risk = ₹20 per share)
  • Target Price ₹1,060 (Reward = ₹60 per share)

Calculated Output Summary:

  • Risk : Reward Ratio 1 : 3.0
  • Breakeven Win Rate 25.0%
  • Trade Status Favorable High-Probability Setup
