Three numbers tell you whether the trade is even worth taking. Set your entry, stop, and target. We'll do the math and show you the win rate you actually need.

At your R-multiple, here's what you net (in $) for every $1 you risk, at common win rates:
| Win rate | Net per $1 risked | Outcome |
|---|
R is the ratio between what you stand to make and what you stand to lose on a trade. If your stop is $2 below your entry and your target is $6 above, your R is 3 — you risk $1 to make $3. R is the only number that lets you compare a trade in $50 stock against a trade in a $5 stock against an options play. It strips out the dollar amount and leaves the shape of the trade.
New traders chase win rate. Experienced traders chase R. Here's why: at 3R, you only need to win 25% of the time to break even. At 1R, you need to win 50%. At 0.5R, you need to win 67%. The higher your R, the more your strategy can survive a bad week, a bad month, a misread setup. The math works for you instead of against you.
This is also why "I'm right 70% of the time" is not the flex traders think it is. If you take 0.3R trades, you need to be right 77% of the time just to break even. Most aren't, over a long-enough sample.
Most traders plan trades at 3R and exit them at 1R. Kyra Trading detects that gap in your own data: planned vs realized R-multiple, win rate by setup tag, what you actually do under different emotional states. On-device, no account, no AI coach.
