What does this stop loss & target calculator do?
A stop loss and target calculator turns a trade idea into exact exit prices. It finds the stop loss from a demand or supply zone, a fixed percentage or a multiple of ATR, measures the risk as the entry-to-stop gap, and projects targets at 1R, 2R and 3R — one, two and three times that risk away from entry.
How does the stop loss and target calculator work?
The calculator has three modes that differ only in how the stop loss is found. Once entry and stop are known, the risk is the gap between them, and every target is a multiple of that risk. This keeps targets tied to the actual risk of the trade instead of a round number chosen by feel.
Long: Target(n) = Entry + n × Risk Short: Target(n) = Entry − n × Risk (n = 1, 2, 3)Risk = |Entry − Stop loss|. The 2R target is the common minimum under a 1:2 rule.How do you calculate stop loss and entry from a demand or supply zone?
Zone mode follows the demand-supply placement rules. For a demand zone, entry sits just above the proximal line and the stop just below the distal line. For a supply zone it mirrors: entry just below the proximal line, stop just above the distal line. The buffer is the small rupee cushion you choose for 'just above' or 'just below'.
Entry = Proximal + Buffer Stop loss = Distal − BufferEntry = Proximal − Buffer Stop loss = Distal + BufferA demand zone's distal line must be below its proximal line; a supply zone's must be above.How do you set a percentage stop loss?
Percentage mode places the stop a fixed percentage away from entry. It is quick and easy to apply consistently, but it ignores chart structure: a 2% stop may sit inside a zone on one stock and far beyond it on another. It suits traders who want a uniform rule or who are planning before a precise level is marked.
Risk = Entry × Stop % ÷ 100 Long stop = Entry − Risk Short stop = Entry + RiskHow is an ATR stop loss calculated?
ATR (Average True Range) measures how much a stock typically moves per candle, and a 14-period setting is a common default. ATR mode sets the stop a chosen multiple of ATR away from entry, so volatile stocks get wider stops and quiet stocks get tighter ones. Use the ATR of the same timeframe you trade — a 5- or 15-minute chart for intraday, daily for swing trades.
Risk = ATR × Multiplier Long stop = Entry − Risk Short stop = Entry + RiskWhich stop loss method should you use?
Each mode answers a different question. Zone mode asks where the trade idea is proven wrong, percentage mode asks how much movement you will tolerate, and ATR mode asks how much noise the stock normally makes. Many traders use zone mode to place the stop and then check it against ATR so the stop is not inside normal day-to-day movement.
| Method | Stop based on | Strength | Weakness |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zone | Distal line ± buffer | Exits exactly where the setup is invalidated | Needs a correctly marked zone; wide zones give large risk |
| Percentage | Fixed % of entry | Simple and consistent | Ignores structure and volatility |
| ATR | ATR × multiplier | Adapts to each stock's volatility | Ignores where support or demand actually sits |
Frequently asked questions
Stop loss kaise calculate kare?
Demand zone mein entry proximal line se thoda upar aur stop loss distal line se thoda neeche rakhein. Jaise proximal ₹1,000, distal ₹970 aur buffer ₹2: entry ₹1,002, stop loss ₹968, risk ₹34. Target kam se kam 2 guna risk par: ₹1,002 + 2 × ₹34 = ₹1,070. Percentage ya ATR method bhi calculator mein available hain.
How do you calculate an intraday stop loss?
Use the same methods on an intraday chart. Mark a demand or supply zone on a 5- or 15-minute chart and place the stop just beyond its distal line, or use the ATR of that intraday timeframe multiplied by a factor such as 1.5. Intraday stops are usually tighter, so check that brokerage and slippage are small relative to the risk per share.
What multiplier should I use for an ATR stop loss?
There is no single correct multiplier. Lower multipliers such as 1 give tight stops that normal movement can trigger; higher ones such as 2 or 3 give room but increase the risk per share and reduce the quantity you can buy. Choose one, apply it consistently and review your own trades, rather than switching multipliers trade by trade.
How big should the buffer be in zone mode?
The buffer is a small cushion so the order sits just beyond the line rather than exactly on it. It is usually a few rupees or a few ticks, scaled to the stock's price — a buffer that suits a ₹100 stock is far too small for a ₹5,000 stock. Keep it small; a large buffer widens the stop and lowers the risk reward ratio.
Why are targets set at 1R, 2R and 3R?
R is the risk per share, so targets expressed in R keep reward linked to risk on every trade. 2R is the common minimum under a 1:2 rule, where the break-even win rate is about 33% before costs. 1R and 3R help with partial exits or trailing plans. Check that the chosen target sits before the next opposing zone.
