How it works

How is position size calculated?

Money at risk = balance × risk %. Lots = money at risk ÷ (stop loss in pips × pip value per lot). Risk 1% of $10,000 with a 20-pip stop on EURUSD: $100 ÷ (20 × $10) = 0.50 lots.

What is an R-multiple?

R is what you risked on a trade. Exiting at twice your stop distance in profit is +2R; a full stop-out is −1R. Measuring in R makes trades of any size comparable.

Every trade in R, automatically.

Tiltless works out R, win rate and your leaks for you, and catches tilt before it costs you.
