Ask a discretionary trader what their risk per trade is and you'll usually get a lot size, not an answer. Rapid Trade Panel is our free on-chart panel that fixes that: type a risk percentage, and every order is sized from your actual stop distance — one click, same fraction of the account at risk every time.

Why risk-based sizing matters
With a fixed 0.10 lot, a 20-pip stop and a 60-pip stop are three different risks pretending to be the same trade. Sized by risk, the math is honest: 1% risk on a $10,000 account is $100; with a 25-pip stop on EURUSD that's 0.40 lots, with a 50-pip stop it's 0.20. The panel computes this from the symbol's tick value on every click, so you stop doing it in your head — and stop skipping it.

What's on the panel
- One-click BUY / SELL with SL and TP placed automatically in pips.
- Risk % or fixed-lot sizing, with a live readout of the exact lot the next order will use.
- CLOSE ALL / CLOSE PROFIT / CLOSE LOSS / PARTIAL 50%.
- BREAK-EVEN for every qualifying position, and a TRAIL on/off toggle.
- Balance, equity, open positions and floating P/L, always visible.

The unglamorous safety work
Every lot is clamped to the broker's minimum, maximum, step and volume limit, and to your own hard cap. Required margin is checked before each order, so the panel doesn't produce "Not enough money" rejections at the worst possible moment. By default it manages only its own trades (its magic number), so it coexists with your EAs without touching their positions.

Practice in the tester first
Because the panel places real orders, every button works in the Strategy Tester's visual mode. Run it on history for an afternoon, get the muscle memory, then take it live.
