breakeven
The point where you have not won or lost any money: what you made exactly covers what you lost.
The fuller meaning
The point at which a trade, method or option position neither gains nor loses. In this app a win pays 1.5 and a loss costs 1, so about 4 wins in every 10 trades only break even. Traders also move a stop to the entry price, a breakeven stop.
breakeven, also called break even, break-even.
