Risk-reward / R-multiple calculator
See how many times your risk a trade pays back, measured in R.
Your risk is the distance from entry to stop-loss — call it 1R. Your reward is the distance from entry to target. The ratio is your R-multiple: risk 1R to make 3R and you only need to be right a third of the time to break even.
Direction
Reward : Risk
1 : 3.00
You risk 1R to make 3.00R.
Risk (1R): 10.0 pips
Reward: 30.0 pips
What is an R-multiple?
- R is the money you planned to lose if the stop is hit — one unit of risk.
- Win 3× that and you booked +3R; lose the planned amount and you booked −1R.
- Measuring in R lets you compare a $100 trade and a $10,000 trade on the same scale.
AUTOMATE IT
Let LOTUX apply this on every trade
These are the same calculations LOTUX runs automatically — set your risk rules once and every signal from TradingView, a webhook, an AI bot or a copied master is sized and executed for you.
- Self-host — run the bridge on your own machine.
- Cloud — run it on LOTUX cloud instead.
Most bridges give you one or the other. LOTUX gives you both.
Questions
- What is a good risk-reward ratio?
- Many traders look for at least 1:2 (risk 1R to make 2R) so a modest win rate still turns a profit. The right ratio depends on how often your strategy wins.
- How is R-multiple calculated?
- For a Buy: (exit − entry) ÷ (entry − stop-loss). For a Sell: (entry − exit) ÷ (stop-loss − entry). It is your realized move divided by the risk you planned.
- Where does LOTUX use R?
- LOTUX records the R-multiple of every closed trade in your history, so you can see whether your winners really outweigh your losers over time.
