How this is calculated
R = |TP − entry| ÷ |entry − SL| · breakeven win rate = 1 ÷ (1 + R) · $ = price distance × lots × 100

R measures how much you stand to make per dollar risked. At 1:2 you only need to win 33.4% of the time to break even — R:R and win rate only mean something together.

Dollar amounts use gold contract math: a $1.00 price move is worth $100 per 1.0 lot, so dollars = price distance × lots × 100. In pips (1 pip = $0.10 of price), that's distance × 10 pips at $10 per pip per 1.0 lot.

A good ratio does not make a good trade. Trading gold on margin carries high risk — this tool is educational, not advice.
