Take Profit & Stop Loss Calculator
Compute your risk-reward ratio by price, the profit and loss amounts at target prices, and the new average cost after adding positions — with levels re-calculated.

What is it
A trade plan needs both sides: where you take profit and where you cut the loss. The reward-risk ratio compares how much you can win against how much you risk. Adding positions lowers the average cost but also changes both levels — this calculator shows both before and after.
Notes & fun facts
Professional traders rarely talk about targets without stops. A 2:1 reward-risk ratio means the win pays twice the loss — but only if you respect the stop. Averaging down feels comforting yet moves the whole plan, which is why seeing both versions side by side matters.
Origin & history
Stop-loss orders have existed since the earliest futures markets; the reward-risk framework became standard in technical analysis in the 20th century. Averaging down (pyramiding) has always been debated — this calculator lets you check the math before you commit.
