Here is a simple xcel spreedsheet that you can use to calculate your risk/reward and risk per contract. Just enter symbol, entry, stop, and target. To modify the formulas if needed the sheet password is 1234.
Some of the values look unrealistic and that's correct, just test input to make sure the math was correct, just never cleared the cells.
Let me see if I understand. For ES for instance
ESE-mini S&P 5000.250000$50.00$5.00
if I see .2500 as the tick size I need to devide by 1 to find out it takes 4 ticks to = one contract. and it the cost for .25 is $5. then that means for a contract to move one point for ES the cost or profit would be $5 x 4 = $20 per contract to move 1 point. Correct.
See attached speadsheet. - let me know if my added columns are correct.
