Results
Calculated from the values above.
P/L at target
$1,500.00

Methodology
Results use one full exit at the target. Partial exits, fees, taxes, and slippage are not included.
How this calculator works
This tool scales an entry, stop, and target to the selected position size.
How to use it
Enter a position size together with planned entry, stop, and target values. Compare the total risk and target P/L with the account's position-size limit so an attractive percentage does not hide an oversized dollar exposure.
Formula, payoff, and assumptions
Target P/L is target minus entry times size; total risk is entry minus stop times size.
The target and stop calculation uses a fixed position size. Partial exits, scaling, commissions, and a stop that gaps through its level are not represented.
Practical example
For 100 units, a $5 risk and $15 reward per unit produces $500 risk and $1,500 target profit.
Reading this result
The dollar target and total risk scale together with position size. Compare both with the amount your plan can actually tolerate rather than focusing only on the target-profit figure.
Common planning mistake
Do not assume a target price produces a realized target P/L. Partial fills, scale-outs, commissions, and gaps can produce a different outcome.
Risk and limitations
Partial exits, slippage, fees, and gaps through the stop are not included.
