How it works
The gain needed is the loss divided by what's left. The trade count assumes each trade adds your risk times your average result, compounding, with no bad streaks and no costs. Real recovery won't be that smooth, so treat this as a best-case pace.
R means the amount you risk per trade. If you don't know your average result per trade, that's the first number to find out. Read The math of a drawdown for the full picture.
