What are CFD Shares?

CFD shares, or Contracts for Differences on shares, are derivative contracts that allow traders to speculate on the price movements of underlying shares without owning them. You enter a contract with a broker to exchange the price difference of a share between the time the contract is opened and when it’s closed.

Risk Reward Calculator

A Risk–Reward Win Rate Calculator is a tool that helps traders understand the balance between how much they risk on each trade compared to how much they aim to gain, and how often they need to win to stay profitable. It works by combining the size of your average risk (for example, the distance to your stop-loss) with the size of your average reward (the distance to your take-profit). From these inputs, the calculator shows the “win rate” required to break even and how profitable a strategy could be over time.

For instance, if you risk $100 on a trade and aim to make $200, your risk–reward ratio is 1:2. In this case, you only need to win 34% of the time to break even. If the ratio were flipped — risking $200 to make $100 — you would need to win at least 67% of the time just to avoid losses.
