What the Crypto Risk/Reward Calculator does
Risk/reward compares the distance to your stop against the distance to your target. It determines the minimum win rate your strategy needs — a favourable ratio lets you be wrong more often than right and still profit.
Formula
Risk = |Entry − Stop|Reward = |Target − Entry|Ratio = Reward ÷ RiskBreak-even win rate = 1 ÷ (1 + Ratio) × 100
