How this Trade Return calculator works

  1. Set a start balance, account currency, and number of trades.
  2. Enter your average win, average loss, and win rate.
  3. The calculator converts win/loss amounts into reward and risk percentages of starting balance.
  4. It compounds the balance trade by trade and estimates ROI plus max drawdown.
  5. Losses are spread through the sequence to create one plausible equity curve.

Why it matters for challenge-fit

A strategy that looks profitable on paper can still fail a challenge. The profit target is only half the test. The drawdown rules are the other half.

A 40% win rate with 1:3 RR is a positive expectancy system. But if your typical run produces a 15% drawdown on the way, a challenge with a 10% max drawdown rule is an automatic fail.

Enter your real stats and see which challenges have profit targets you can reach and drawdown limits wide enough for your normal variance.
