Define a single consistent 1R sizing convention first; do not mix open trades, different strategies or different cost bases.
Amount conversion (optional)

R statistics are still calculated when blank; after input you can view cumulative expected amounts.

Paste at least 5 completed trades and confirm all trades use the same R definition.
Core formula:Expected value = win rate × average gain + loss rate × average loss; Profit Factor = total gains ÷ absolute total losses; R drawdown is calculated from the running peak of the cumulative R curve.

Model limitations:This page only analyzes the completed R results you paste in; it does not know each trade’s price, slippage, fees, time, strategy tags or liquidity. Small samples, mixed strategies, survivorship bias and excluded open trades can distort statistics; historical positive expectancy does not guarantee future results.

How to use this finance tool

This page turns a finance concept into checkable inputs, formulas, and scenarios. Read the variable definitions first, then compare conservative, base, and stress cases; one result is not a promise of return.

Suggested workflow: confirm units and time periods, enter your own assumptions, then review sensitivity, costs, and downside cases.

Limitations: the model does not forecast markets and may not include every tax, slippage, liquidity, credit, regulatory, or contract term. Verify important decisions with current primary information and a qualified professional.

Markets and local rules can change quickly; verify current primary information and take responsibility for your decisions. Past performance, model outputs, and simulations do not guarantee future results.
