How this calculator works

The Crypto Risk Reward Calculator helps traders convert entry, stop, target, and position size into a clean downside-versus-upside comparison. Enter entry price, stop price, and target price to estimate risk amount, reward amount, and reward-risk ratio.

Inputs

Planned entry price for the trade setup.
Planned stop-loss level where the trade thesis is invalidated.
Planned take-profit level used to estimate upside.
Number of coin units or contracts used to convert price movement into value at risk.

Outputs

Total downside in currency terms if the stop is hit.
Total upside in currency terms if the target is reached.
Reward divided by risk for the selected trade plan.

Assumptions

The trade is modeled with one entry, one stop, and one target.
Fees, slippage, and partial exits are not included in the baseline result.

Tips

Check the reward-risk ratio before entry so the setup quality is clear while you are still objective.
If volatility is high, test a wider stop and a more conservative target instead of forcing the same ratio.

Risk Amount = |Entry Price - Stop Price| * Position Units

Reward-Risk Ratio = Reward Amount / Risk Amount

Reward by target price
