Position Tool - TradingView-style Long/Short position calculator - indicator for MetaTrader 5

Position Tool brings the familiar Long/Short Position drawing from TradingView to MetaTrader 5. It draws a target zone and a stop zone on the chart and calculates the correct lot size for your risk, so you can plan a trade visually before you open it.

Drag the Entry, Stop or Target line with the mouse and every number updates instantly: lot size, money at risk, potential reward, reward-to-risk ratio, distance in points and required margin. Profit and loss per lot are taken from OrderCalcProfit(), so the result is correct for any symbol (Forex, metals, indices, crypto CFDs) and any account currency.

How to use

• Attach the indicator to a chart: the tool appears at the current price with a 1 x ATR(14) stop and a 2:1 target.
• Drag the Entry line to move the whole tool (price and time). Drag the ends of the Entry line to change the width.
• Drag the Stop and Target lines to set your levels. If you drag the Target to the other side of the Entry, the tool switches between Long and Short automatically.
• Long/Short button mirrors the tool, Reset button places it at the current price again.

The lot is rounded down to the symbol's volume step, so the real risk never exceeds your setting. If even the minimum lot is larger than your risk, the tool shows a MIN LOT > RISK warning.
