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.
