If you enter it, the tool also shows what the same ratio is worth in money. Unit: account currency.

Nothing is stored or emailed. The maths runs on the figures you typed.

What this tells you

A ratio is not a prediction. It tells you how much the trade pays if it works, relative to what it costs if it does not.

Method

Risk = |entry − stop| in pips. Reward = |target − entry| in pips. Ratio = reward ÷ risk, then both outcomes are converted to money using lot size and pip value. Direction is inferred from the relationship between entry, stop and target.

Where the numbers come from

Contract sizes, pip conventions and session hours come from one published specification table, and the same class answers on the page and through the API. A conversion rate is only ever the figure you enter — the site does not fetch a price, because a hardcoded quote would be wrong for your broker and stale in seconds.

Is 1:3 always better than 1:1?

No. A higher ratio usually means a lower hit rate. The ratio is one input to an expectation, not a verdict on the trade.
