STEP-BY-STEP

How to use this tool

  1. Select long or short.
  2. Enter the intended entry and target prices.
  3. Enter the instrument’s correct pip, point, or tick size.
  4. Enter the stop distance using the same unit.
  5. Add the dollar amount planned at risk.
  6. Review distance and ratio, then verify the target is technically realistic.
WORKED EXAMPLE

See the calculation in context

A long EUR/USD entry at 1.1000 and target at 1.1100 has a raw distance of 0.0100, or 100 pips at a 0.0001 pip size. With a 50-pip stop, the planned ratio is 1:2.

Calculation method

For a long trade, target distance = target − entry. For a short trade, target distance = entry − target. Selected units = price distance ÷ pip, point, or tick size.

AVOID THESE ERRORS

Common mistakes

  1. Choosing a target only to force a preferred ratio
  2. Mixing points, pips and ticks
  3. Ignoring likely spread, commission or slippage
  4. Assuming price will fill exactly at the target
  5. Using an unrealistic target beyond meaningful structure
FREQUENTLY ASKED

Questions and answers

Should a target be chosen before the stop?

Both should come from a defined setup: the stop from invalidation and the target from a realistic objective.

Does a larger target mean a better trade?

No. A distant target may have a lower chance of being reached.

Can I model partial targets?

Yes. Use the separate Multi-Target Position Splitter to distribute quantity across as many as three planned exits.
