I believe that technology is one of the main competitive differentiators in the modern financial market. While many traders still rely exclusively on manual analysis and emotional decision-making, the use of automation, algorithms, and intelligent systems allows for more precise, fast, and - Version: 1.1
Stop guessing your lot size. Risk the same amount on every trade.
Most traders blow accounts not because of bad entries, but because of inconsistent position sizing: fixed lots with variable stops means every trade risks a different — and unknown — amount of money. TrendSync Risk Calculator solves this in one drag.
How it works
- Attach the indicator. It automatically anchors three draggable lines at the current price: Entry, SL at N×ATR and TP at your chosen R:R.
- Drag any line — or type a new ATR multiplier — and the panel instantly recalculates the exact lot size so that hitting your stop costs precisely the risk you chose (e.g. 1% of balance).
- Read the lot from the panel, place your trade. Done.
Why ATR-based stops?
A fixed-point stop is too tight on volatile days (normal noise stops you out) and too wide on quiet days (you risk more than needed). Anchoring the stop to ATR keeps it proportionally outside the noise in every volatility regime — and the calculator adjusts the lot so your money risk stays constant while the stop distance adapts.
Features
- Draggable Entry / SL / TP lines — everything recalculates in real time as you drag
- Three risk modes — % of Balance, % of Equity, or fixed money
- Automatic ATR anchoring — SL = N×ATR, TP = R:R × SL, one-click "Reset ATR" re-anchor
- BUY/SELL toggle — mirrors SL/TP around your entry instantly
- Correct lot math on any symbol — uses tick value / tick size, not point assumptions; works on Gold, Forex, indices, crypto, 2-digit or 3-digit pricing, any account currency
- Honest rounding — lot is always rounded DOWN to the volume step; if the symbol's minimum lot already exceeds your target risk, the panel warns you instead of hiding it
- Spread quality monitor — spread shown as % of ATR with a visual warning when transaction cost is too large relative to volatility
- Broker stop-level check — warns when your SL is closer than the broker allows
- Effective R:R display — see the real reward:risk after dragging lines
- State persistence — your settings and lines survive timeframe changes
- High-DPI aware panel — clean layout on 125%/150% Windows display scaling
- Editable fields accept both "1.5" and "1,5" decimal formats

Important
This tool does NOT generate buy/sell signals and does NOT trade. It answers one question with precision: given your trade idea, what lot size keeps your risk constant? The directional decision is yours — from your own strategy or your preferred trend indicator.
If you want the directional edge too: this calculator uses the same ATR risk engine as our TrendSync MACD Pro EA and pairs with the TrendSync MACD Pro indicator — check them on our profile.
