About Take Profit Level Calculator

Setting the target as a multiple of the risk fixes the reward-to-risk ratio before the trade. That ratio also determines the win rate you need: at 2.5 to 1 only about 29% of trades need to work for the strategy to break even.

Formula

Target and break-even

Target = entry + R×|entry - stop|; break-even win rate = 1/(1+R)

Worked example

With the default values below, Take Profit Level Calculator returns Take-Profit Price of $550.00. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a higher reward ratio always better?

Not necessarily. Distant targets are hit less often, so the win rate falls — the two must be tested together.

Should the target ever be moved?

Moving it out mid-trade abandons the plan. A trailing stop is the disciplined way to let a winner run.
