Figure out if a trade is worth taking — before you risk a single dollar.

Tool 01

Enter the details of a trade you're thinking about. We'll tell you instantly if the risk is worth the potential reward.

✅ This trade passes the test. The potential reward justifies the risk.
💡 Quick tip: The best traders don't find better entries — they decide how much they're willing to lose before they get in. A trade without a stop loss is a hope, not a plan.
Tool 02
What Happens Over 50 Trades?
Every strategy goes through winning streaks and losing streaks. This shows you what to expect — so you're not caught off guard when it happens.

Risk Per Trade (%)
1.0%
📊 Good to know: A 60% win rate with 1:1 reward ratio makes the same money as a 40% win rate with 2:1. Winning more often isn't always better — what matters is how much you make when you win vs. how much you lose when you don't.
Tool 03
How Many Shares Should You Buy?
This table tells you exactly how many shares to buy based on where your stop loss is. Bookmark this page and use it every time you trade.
I'll Risk This % Per Trade

Dollar Risk: $250
Find the row that matches how far your stop is from your entry. That row tells you exactly how many shares to buy so you never risk more than your limit.

📏 The Golden Rule

If you risk 1.0% per trade and hit a 10-trade losing streak — which will happen at some point — you only lose 10.0% of your account total. You're still in the game. Risk too much and one bad week can end you.
