Why count recovery trades?
Knowing how many average wins it takes to recover supports honest planning and helps avoid revenge sizing.
Trades needed = total deficit ÷ average win, rounded up.
How to use

- Enter average win and average loss amounts.
- Click Calculate for the deficit and required wins.
Formula
- Deficit = losses × average loss
- Wins needed = ⌈deficit ÷ average win⌉
Example
5 losses × 200 average loss = 1,000 deficit; at 400 average win, about 3 wins recover it.
Smaller average wins need more trades.
