How it's calculated.
Risk distance is the gap between your entry and stop-loss; reward distance is the gap between your entry and take-profit. Both convert to pips using the instrument's pip size.
The ratio divides reward pips by risk pips. Break-even win rate is 1 divided by (1 plus the ratio): the share of trades at this ratio you'd need to win just to come out flat.

Many traders look for at least 1:1.5 to 1:2, so a strategy can still be profitable with a win rate below 50%. The right ratio depends on your actual win rate, which this calculator doesn't measure.
