Risk/Reward Calculator

The Risk/Reward calculator is used to find the difference between two points of the risk and reward zone. Select the Risk/Reward tool on your Calculators Toolbar. Click on your chart where you want your technical formation to begin and drag to cover the area between your initial order and your risking stop loss order.

The calculator will create an equal-sized reward area that can be stretched to the proper distance you expect the graph to retrace. The numbers in the tool indicate the dollar amount of risk and reward.

When the chart is trading within the risk area (negative number), you are risking your own money. When the chart is trading within the reward area (positive number), you are risking OPM or "Other People's Money." Use the Risk/Reward calculator on all trades to calculate where your order entries and exits should be placed.
