Risk to R Ratio Manager

The Risk to Reward Ratio Manager is a visual order management tool and position size calculator designed to support disciplined trading and professional risk management. It allows traders to visually set entry, stop-loss, and take-profit levels directly on the chart, while automatically calculating the lot size and risk-to-reward ratio before sending an order. The tool helps standardize trade preparation and ensures that each position is opened with a predefined and controlled level of risk.

This tool works with a wide range of trading instruments including currency pairs, indices, metals, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. It is suitable for both manual traders and strategy-focused traders who apply risk management rules on every position. By reducing calculation time and avoiding manual errors, the tool helps traders maintain consistency and clarity in the execution process.

Main Features

1. Visual Trade Planning: The tool displays entry, stop-loss, and take-profit levels on the chart. This visual approach helps the trader see the entire setup before execution and ensure the stop and target are placed exactly where intended.
2. Automated Position Size Calculation: The tool can calculate the lot size based on the selected risk percentage. It evaluates the distance between the entry and stop-loss and computes the precise lot value needed to match the defined risk.
3. Risk-to-Reward Ratio Display: The exact risk-to-reward ratio (R:R) is shown on the panel, along with the potential loss and potential profit in the account currency. This helps traders objectively assess the trade before confirming the order.
4. Flexible Take-Profit Options: The tool supports fixed ratios such as 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4 as well as a custom ratio. This allows traders to maintain consistent reward targets or adapt them to market conditions.
5. Faster and More Accurate Order Preparation: By centralizing risk, lot size, and target calculations in one interface, the tool shortens preparation time and removes the need for manual calculations or external spreadsheets.
6. Customizable Display and Style: Users can choose line colors, line styles, panel mode (light or dark), and other visual preferences to match their chart environment. This improves clarity, especially for traders who monitor multiple setups.
7. Symbol Information Panel:The panel displays important symbol details such as minimum lot size, maximum lot size, tick size, tick value, and spread. This helps ensure that chosen parameters remain valid for the selected instrument.
