DETAILS
This section explains what the calculator does, what goes into the result, and how to interpret the output so you can apply it confidently.
This calculator turns a few key inputs into a clear output you can act on — a number that traders and investors commonly use for planning and decision-making.
Use it to compare scenarios quickly and to understand the trade-offs behind the final result.
Treat the output as a planning number. Small changes in inputs (time, rate, price, quantity, risk, or cashflows) can change the outcome meaningfully — so keep assumptions realistic.
If the tool returns multiple outputs, focus on the ones that drive decisions (e.g., net result, breakeven, or risk-adjusted value), not just the biggest number.

HOW IT WORKS
Input your entry price and the 14-period ATR value from your charting platform.
Choose 1.5x–3x ATR to define your stop distance based on volatility tolerance.
See the exact stop price, shares to buy/sell, and profit targets at 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 R:R.
FAQ
Average True Range (ATR) measures the average daily price range of an instrument over a period (typically 14 days). It is a volatility indicator — higher ATR means more volatile, requiring wider stops.
Day traders often use 1.5x–2x ATR. Swing traders use 2x–3x. Using less than 1x ATR often leads to stop-outs from normal market noise rather than actual trend reversals.
ATR (14) is available on TradingView, Zerodha Kite charts, Upstox charts, and most charting platforms. Look for "ATR" in the indicators section and use the 14-period default.
Fixed stops ignore market volatility. An ATR stop adapts — it widens in volatile markets (avoiding whipsaws) and tightens in calm markets (capturing more profit).
