R-multiple:
results in units of risk.
A trade’s result measured against what it risked. If your stop risked $100 and you made $250, the trade was +2.5R.
R = points made ÷ points to your stop (a short makes entry − exit). On a loser with no stop logged, the exit is taken as the stop
1R is what you stood to lose at your stop. Measuring every trade in R makes a $50 trade and a $500 trade comparable, and shows your edge without the noise of position size.
Long NQ at 21,000 with a stop at 20,990: 10 points of risk. You exit at 21,025, 25 points up. That’s 25 ÷ 10 = +2.5R, whatever the size.

Every trade in R.
Log the stop and each trade shows its R. Reports switch from dollars to R in one tap, and the trades that lost more than 1R are counted for you.
- R on every trade with a stop
- Reports in dollars or in R
- Losses past your stop, counted
