help with risk %

[meatskin2000 1]

Could someone help me set this script to “risk 1R to make 1.25R”  so either I lose 1R or profit 1.25R?  thx in advance.

Long
change
 

$target=3*$pricetostop+Ask;

to 

$targettmp=$pricetostop*1.25;$target=$targettmp+Ask;

 

Short

change

 

$target=Bid-$pricetostop-$pricetostop-$pricetostop;

to

 

$targettmp=$pricetostop*1.25;$target=Bid-$targettmp;

i might update the article with this more elegant solution so you can just change 1.25 to whatever number you need.
