[b]Trader Toolbox[/b] puts five everyday trading utilities into one tidy on-chart panel. Pick a single tool from the dropdown, or show all five at once. The panel is movable, resizable, minimizable, and draws cleanly over any chart.
[b]Important:[/b] Only the Equity Guard tool can act on the market, and only to [b]close[/b] positions within a scope you choose. The other four tools are read-only - they never open or modify trades. Always test on a demo account first.
[h2]What's inside[/h2]
[list]
[*][b]Lot Calculator[/b] - Instantly shows the position size that risks exactly your chosen percentage of equity or balance for a given stop-loss. The result is normalized to your broker's volume step and limits, so it is always a valid lot. Optionally shows the reward at a target reward-to-risk ratio.
[*][b]Equity Guard[/b] - Watches your account for a daily loss or a drawdown from peak. On a breach it can alert you and, if you choose, close positions. You decide the behavior: watch-only, close by magic number, close this symbol only, or close everything (account-wide kill switch).
[*][b]Spread & Swap Monitor[/b] - Live spread and swap for the current symbol, with an optional scan of your Market Watch list so you can compare costs across instruments at a glance.
[*][b]History Exporter[/b] - Exports your closed-deal history to a CSV file with one click, ready for analysis in a spreadsheet.
[*][b]Momentum Readout[/b] - An ATR-normalized momentum value plus RSI, with a live in-panel sparkline so you can see the recent trend at a glance.
