R-multiple target

Because a target is set as a multiple of R, the same 2R target means different actual prices on different trades — a wide-stop trade's 2R target sits further from entry than a tight-stop trade's. This keeps targets comparable across trades with very different entry prices and stop distances, since they're measured in the same risk-adjusted unit.

Target(n) = Entry ± (Rₙ × R)
