How this is calculated
Quantity = (capital × risk %) ÷ (entry − stop loss), limited by the capital you have. Risk-reward = (target − entry) ÷ (entry − stop). The win rate you need to break even = 1 ÷ (1 + reward ÷ risk).
What the letters mean: Capital × risk % = money you can lose; entry − stop = loss per share; quantity = money at risk ÷ loss per share.
Timing: Assumes the stop loss fills at your price; gaps and slippage can make the loss bigger.
Default values: Trading capital: ₹5.00 L · Risk per trade: 1 % · Entry price: ₹500 · Stop loss: ₹480 · Target: ₹560
