How many R did this trade actually make or lose me?

How this is calculated

• 1R is your initial planned risk per share: the distance between your entry price and your original stop-loss price.
• Your actual result per share is your exit price minus your entry price on a long trade, or your entry price minus your exit price on a short trade.
• Your R-multiple is your actual result per share divided by your initial risk per share. A trade that made twice its planned risk is +2R. A trade that lost its full planned risk is -1R.
• Thinking in R instead of dollars lets you compare a $50 account and a $50,000 account on the same scale, and it makes it obvious when a loss was bigger than your plan called for.
• This calculator uses your original stop, not any stop you moved after entering. If you widened your stop mid-trade, your R-multiple on this trade is worse than a calculation based on the wider stop would suggest.
• This is a single-trade calculation. Track R-multiples across many trades in your own journal to see your actual expectancy in R.
