Example Take Profit and Stop Loss Calculation
Suppose the entry price is $100, the stop-loss distance is 5%, and the risk-reward ratio is 2:1. The stop-loss price is $95 and the take-profit price is $110.
This type of calculation helps compare planned downside and upside before reviewing a trade scenario.
- Enter the entry price.
- Enter the stop-loss percentage.
- Enter the risk-reward ratio.
- Review stop-loss price, take-profit price, risk per share, and reward per share.
Take Profit and Stop Loss Comparison
Changing the risk-reward ratio changes the target price while the stop-loss distance stays the same. This example uses a $100 entry and 5% stop-loss.
| Entry | Stop-Loss | Risk-Reward | Take-Profit |
|---|---|---|---|
| $100 | $95 | 1:1 | $105 |
| $100 | $95 | 2:1 | $110 |
| $100 | $95 | 3:1 | $115 |
How to Interpret the Result
A higher risk-reward ratio raises the target price for the same stop-loss distance.
A target price can look attractive mathematically but still be unrealistic if market conditions do not support it.
