How to Use the Stop Loss Take Profit Calculator
1
Choose Trade Direction
Select whether you're going long (buying) or short (selling). This determines how stop loss and take profit levels are calculated relative to your entry price.
2
Set Entry Price
Enter your planned or actual entry price. This is the baseline for calculating both your stop loss (risk) and take profit (reward) levels.
3
Define Risk Percentage
Input your maximum risk tolerance as a percentage. This determines how far your stop loss should be from your entry price based on your account size.
4
Set Reward Ratio
Choose your desired risk-to-reward ratio. A 1:2 ratio means you're willing to risk $1 to potentially make $2, helping ensure long-term profitability.
Understanding Stop Loss & Take Profit Strategy
Why Use Stop Losses?
Stop losses are essential for capital preservation. They automatically close losing positions, preventing small losses from becoming account-destroying disasters. They also remove emotion from exit decisions.
Take Profit Strategy
Take profit levels secure your gains by automatically closing profitable positions. They help you maintain discipline and avoid the common mistake of holding winning trades too long and watching profits disappear.
Risk-Reward Ratios
A good risk-reward ratio (like 1:2 or 1:3) means your average win is larger than your average loss. This allows you to be profitable even if you're wrong more often than you're right.
Position Sizing
Your stop loss distance should determine your position size, not the other way around. Risk a fixed percentage of your account per trade, then adjust position size based on your stop loss distance.
