FAQ
Questions traders ask
Why calculate R multiple before replaying the chart?
It stops you from calling every clean-looking setup tradable. Many charts read well but still offer poor reward relative to the stop.
Can I use this for long and short trades?
Yes. The calculator uses the distances between entry, stop, and target, so it works for either direction.
