How it works
- Stop loss: entry × (1 − stop %) for a long, entry × (1 + stop %) for a short, or the price you enter.
- R = distance from the entry to the stop loss.
- Take-profit at nR = entry + n × R for a long, entry − n × R for a short.
Example
Buy at 100 with a 5% stop: the stop is 95 and R is 5. Targets are 105 at 1R, 107.50 at 1.5R, 110 at 2R and 115 at 3R. With 1,000 USDT and 1% risk, you would hold 2 coins: the stop costs 10 USDT and 2R pays 20 USDT.
Every ALPHAVYN signal already has a stop loss and two targets. Check any setup with the risk/reward calculator.
Common stop loss and take profit mistakes
- Choosing the stop by how much you want to lose. Place it where the trade idea is wrong, then size the position to fit your risk.
- Targets that ignore the chart. A 3R target means little if strong resistance sits at 1R.
- Stops on obvious round numbers. Many stops cluster there; a small buffer can help.
- Moving the stop further away. It turns a planned small loss into an unplanned larger one.
Questions
How do I calculate a stop loss price?
For a long trade, stop loss = entry × (1 − stop %). For a short, stop loss = entry × (1 + stop %). You can also enter the stop price directly.
What does 1R, 2R or 3R mean?
R is the distance from your entry to your stop loss. A 2R target is twice that distance in the profitable direction, so it would pay twice what you risk.
Which take-profit should I use?
That depends on the market and your plan. Many traders check whether a target lines up with a real resistance or support level before choosing it.
Are fees included?
No. Fees reduce every profit and add to every loss. Use the break-even or profit calculator to include them.
