Stop-Loss & Take-Profit Calculator
Set your stop-loss and take-profit levels before you enter a trade, not after. Enter your entry price, how far you're willing to risk, and the reward ratio you're targeting — this calculator gives you both exit prices instantly.
Calculate Your Stop-Loss & Take-Profit
How This Calculator Works
You set your entry price, pick a direction, and choose how far (in %) your stop-loss sits from entry. The calculator applies that distance in the correct direction (below entry for longs, above for shorts) to get your stop price, then multiplies the resulting risk by your target risk/reward ratio to place your take-profit at a matching distance on the other side.
Why Planning Both Exits Matters
Deciding your stop-loss and take-profit before entering removes emotion from the trade — you know exactly where you're wrong and exactly where you've met your target, so you're not improvising exits while the position is open. It also forces you to check the risk/reward profile of a setup before committing capital to it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose my stop-loss %? Many traders base it on recent volatility (e.g. ATR) or a technical level like a recent swing low/high, rather than a fixed number for every trade.
Does this work for crypto and stocks? Yes — the inputs are percentage- and ratio-based, so they apply to any asset.
How is this different from the Risk/Reward Ratio Calculator? The Risk/Reward Ratio Calculator checks a setup you've already defined; this tool builds the stop and target prices for you from a target ratio.
