Stop Loss / Take Profit Calculator
The Stop Loss / Take Profit Calculator is a practical tool for traders and investors who want to accurately define their exit levels from a trade, whether at a loss (Stop Loss) or at a profit (Take Profit).
The app helps maintain a strong trading discipline, reducing emotional risk and optimizing the risk/reward ratio.
How it Works
The user enters:
- The entry price of the position;
- The desired risk percentage (e.g. 2%);
- The risk/reward ratio (e.g. 1:2);
- The type of position (long or short);
- Optionally, the position value in euros, to estimate the economic impact of loss or profit.
The app automatically calculates the levels of Stop Loss and Take Profit, also providing estimates of potential loss and gain in both absolute and percentage terms.
Interpreting Results
The result shows:
- Stop Loss → the price at which the trade should be closed to limit the loss;
- Take Profit → target price level to realize the profit;
- Potential loss and profit (if the position value is specified);
- Risk/reward ratio assessment with an automatic message:
- ≥ 2:1 → Optimal strategy;
- 1.5–2:1 → Balanced but improvable;
- < 1.5:1 → High risk compared to reward.
