Stop Loss Take Profit
Calculator

The calculator applies your specified risk amount (in price points or percentage) below the entry price for a stop-loss on a long position, and your specified target gain above the entry price for the take-profit level, giving you concrete price levels to set as orders.

It's the distance from entry to take-profit divided by the distance from entry to stop-loss, showing how much potential gain you're targeting relative to how much you're risking. A 2:1 ratio, for example, means the profit target is twice as far from entry as the stop-loss.

No — profitability also depends on your win rate (how often the trade works out). A strategy can have a good risk-to-reward ratio and still lose money overall if the stop-loss is hit far more often than the take-profit is reached, so both factors need to be considered together.

For a short position the logic flips: the stop-loss is placed above the entry price (protecting against the price rising) and the take-profit is placed below the entry price (targeting a price decline), the mirror image of a long position's placement.

Not necessarily — in fast-moving or illiquid markets, orders can experience slippage and execute at a worse price than set, especially for stop orders that become market orders once triggered. This tool calculates target levels only, not execution guarantees, and isn't investment advice.
