Enter the contract, entry, stop and target to see risk, reward and the break-even win rate.

How it’s calculated
Stop ticks = |Entry − Stop| ÷ Tick sizeTarget ticks = |Target − Entry| ÷ Tick sizeTotal risk = Stop ticks × Tick value × ContractsTotal reward = Target ticks × Tick value × ContractsReward multiple = Total reward ÷ Total riskBreak-even rate = Risk ÷ (Risk + Reward) × 100

Stops do not guarantee an execution price. Slippage, gaps, commissions, exchange fees and spread are not included.

What a 1:2 risk/reward ratio means

The calculator always shows risk first: 1:2 means risking one unit to target two. The break-even win rate comes from that ratio; it is not a prediction of your strategy’s results. Use it with your realized win rate in the trading expectancy calculator.

A stop price is not an execution guarantee

Gaps and fast markets can create slippage, while stop-limit orders can remain unfilled. Review the Investor.gov stop-order explanation and the exact rules of your broker. Then inspect the position’s margin footprint.

A stop and target are only half the plan.

Turn the same stop distance into a contract count, or check the position's margin and leverage — every futures calculator lives on one page.
