R-Multiple Calculator
Enter your entry, stop, and exit to get the trade's R-multiple and reward-to-risk. R is the unit your whole journal should speak — it normalizes every trade so you can compare them apples-to-apples.
Estimate only, not financial advice. Assumes a single entry and a single stop.
Every trade, in R — automatically
SignalDeck computes R-multiple, expectancy, and SQN across your whole journal from your imported trades — no spreadsheet. Free during beta.

FAQ
What is an R-multiple?
Your result as a multiple of what you risked. 1R = entry-to-stop distance. +2R means you made twice your risk; -1R means you hit your stop. Measuring every trade in R lets you compare across sizes and instruments.
How is it calculated?
Risk = |entry − stop|. Reward = exit − entry (long) or entry − exit (short). R-multiple = reward ÷ risk. Buy 100, stop 98, exit 106 → 6 ÷ 2 = +3R.
What's a good reward-to-risk?
Planned R:R is target distance ÷ stop distance. ≥2:1 is common, but it only matters alongside win rate — expectancy (win rate × avg R) is what actually compounds.
