How it works

R:R = |Target − Entry| ÷ |Entry − Stop|. A 1:3 trade only needs a 25% win rate to break even, while a 1:1 trade needs 50%. Higher R:R = lower required win rate, but typically lower hit rate. Combine R:R with realistic win-rate expectations to design positive-expectancy systems.

Note: Contract specifications, spreads, swaps, and margin requirements vary by broker. The figures above are illustrative estimates using typical CFD specs. Always verify with your broker before trading. This tool does not constitute financial advice. Trading CFDs involves significant risk of loss.
