How to Use the Risk/Reward Calculator
1
Enter your account size
Input the total capital in your trading account in USDT. This is used to calculate how much to risk per trade.
2
Set your risk percentage
Professional traders typically risk 1–2% of their account per trade. This limits losses and protects your capital over the long run.
3
Enter entry, stop loss, and take profit
Set your entry price based on your technical analysis. Place your stop loss below a key support level (for longs) and your take profit at a resistance level.
4
Evaluate the result
A risk/reward ratio of 1:2 or higher is generally considered acceptable. This means for every $1 you risk, you aim to make $2 or more.

Risk Management Rules Every Trader Should Follow
- Never risk more than 2% per trade. Even a 10-trade losing streak only costs you 18% of your account.
- Always set a stop loss before entering. Decide your exit before your emotions get involved.
- Minimum 1:2 risk/reward. You can be wrong 60% of the time and still be profitable with a 1:2 R/R.
- Size your position based on risk, not conviction. Even your best setups can fail.
- Move stop to break-even after 1R profit. Lock in a risk-free trade once price moves in your favour.
