This setting determines how accurately expected value is calculated. R measures how many "risk units" you gained or lost on a trade. The expected value, profit/loss ratio, and maximum drawdown figures shown in the overview are all R-based calculations — changing this setting updates all of them.

Setting	What it does
Default stop loss	Factory default 30%, range 1 to 99. Used when Risk basis is set to Cost × stop % (recommended).
Risk basis	Cost × stop % (recommended): risk per trade = cost × stop loss %. R = multiple of cost: calculates multiples based on cost.

Trades with a cost of 0 (such as airdrops) cannot produce an R value. They are excluded from R statistics, and the overview will state how many such trades exist.
