Risk:Reward Visualizer

Enter your entry, stop loss, and take profit to see the risk-to-reward ratio and the minimum win rate you need to break even over time.

This is an educational tool, not investment advice. The breakeven win rate assumes equal position sizes across trades and does not account for commissions, slippage, or swap fees. Always verify pip values with your broker. XpFirm does not guarantee trading outcomes.

Breakeven Win Rate

25.0%

Win at least this often to break even (before fees).

With a 3.0R ratio, you only need to win 25% of trades to break even — any win rate above that is net profitable.

What is Risk:Reward and why does breakeven win rate matter?

Risk:Reward (R:R) compares the distance from your entry to your stop loss (risk) against the distance to your take profit (reward). A 1:2 ratio means you stand to gain twice what you risk.

Breakeven win rate tells you the minimum percentage of winning trades needed to avoid losing money over time. The formula is: 1 / (1 + R:R). For example, at 1:2 R:R you need to win just 33.3% of trades to break even.

This means traders with higher R:R ratios can be profitable even with lower win rates. However, wider take-profit targets may also mean fewer trades reach the target — there is always a trade-off.
