Calculate realized R multiple from entry, stop, and exit (works for long and short trades).
Note
Outputs are only as accurate as your inputs.

$ r-multiple
2.4 R
Enter your inputs before you place the trade, not after. Pre-trade planning is where calculators create value.
Use realistic values based on your actual execution conditions. If you understate slippage, fees, or stop distance, output quality collapses.
Document the result inside your journal so you can compare planned vs realized outcomes during review.
R multiple measures outcome in units of your planned risk. It is the cleanest way to compare trades across markets and volatility.
Use it in review: planned R, realized R, and where slippage/fees or discretion changed the outcome.
Most preventable losses come from skipping one simple calculation when markets move fast. This tool enforces the minimum math needed for disciplined execution.
The value compounds when used consistently. One correct risk decision rarely changes a year; repeated correct decisions usually do.
Tie calculator output to your strategy tags so you can evaluate whether your planning assumptions match live performance.
Use this tool at planning time, then compare outcome quality in weekly review sessions.
If planned and realized values diverge, investigate execution behavior before adjusting strategy logic.
Pair this with one behavior correction each week for compounding improvement.
Using unrealistic inputs because they feel better emotionally.
Changing parameters mid-trade to justify staying in a bad position.
Treating one output as a signal to trade rather than a risk filter.
Yes. The calculator is free and available without signup.
R multiple is profit or loss divided by your initial planned risk (the distance from entry to stop). It lets you compare trades consistently even when position sizes and prices differ.
Compute the realized R based on your weighted average exit and total position size. If you scale out in chunks, you can also compute R per chunk and sum the results for a more detailed review.
Outputs are only as accurate as inputs. Use realistic assumptions and review planned vs realized values weekly.
Yes. You can pair tool outputs with your review workflow and setup tags for better post-trade diagnostics.
