Planned reward-to-risk 1.06 to 1, measured from the least favourable end of your entry range (0.6995).

That is the distance to your target divided by the distance to your stop, and nothing else. It says nothing about how likely either price is, or about whether the trade is worth taking.

What this tool does

Write the reason, risk and exit before you place the trade: instrument, thesis, entry, stop, target and risk limit. Each card is timestamped and locked, with a full amendment trail.

The full instructions, and the definition and limit of every number it produces, open with the tool itself.
