Both outcomes include the same estimated round-trip charges and slippage reserve. The break-even win rate assumes every trade finishes at this stop or target with these costs; it is not a predicted win rate.

Stops can slip. Actual losses may exceed the planned amount.
View result178 shares ↑Position sizing uses the same tested calculation as our position-size calculator. Net reward is the entry-to-target movement multiplied by shares, less estimated round-trip charges and slippage. Reward-to-risk divides that reward by the planned loss at the stop, including costs. Break-even win rate is loss divided by loss plus reward, for a simplified two-outcome model.
Short exposure limits do not calculate broker margin or establish eligibility. Real fills, gaps and costs can cause losses beyond the planned amount. This is planning arithmetic, not an order or investment recommendation.
Want to see the stop and target on a real chart? TradingView's position tool draws entry, stop and target on live price data and shows the risk-reward zones. Its help page lists no setting for Indian charges; this tool rounds to whole shares, keeps the position within your capital and deducts estimated charges before sizing.
Already know your quantity and exit price? Zerodha's calculator breaks down brokerage, STT, exchange charges, GST and stamp duty for a buy price, sell price and quantity, and also covers F&O, currency and commodities. This tool works the other way round: it starts from the loss you can accept and finds the quantity with charges included.
