Strifor Auto Lot Calculator

Strifor Auto Lot Calculator is a MetaTrader 5 tool that calculates the appropriate position size based on your specified risk and Stop Loss level.

The tool helps traders determine position size before opening a trade, control risk exposure, and take existing positions into account when planning additional entries.

This is not a trading robot or a signal generator. Strifor Auto Lot Calculator does not determine market direction or decide when to buy or sell. The trader chooses the entry point and Stop Loss level, while the tool calculates the corresponding position size and helps manage risk.

Key Features

Automatic Lot Size Calculation Based on Risk

Specify your desired risk and Stop Loss level, and Strifor Auto Lot Calculator will calculate the appropriate position size.

The calculation takes into account the specifications of the selected trading instrument, including tick value, contract size, and other symbol parameters.

Before opening a trade, the panel displays:

• calculated position size;

• potential loss;

• Stop Loss distance;

• allowed risk;

• current position limits.

This allows you to assess the potential risk of a trade before entering the market instead of calculating the lot size manually.

Multiple Ways to Set Stop Loss

Stop Loss can be defined in several ways:

• fixed distance in points;

• specific price level;

• horizontal line on the chart;

• ATR-based calculation;

• Stop Loss of an existing position;

• automatically based on the specified risk.

When a specific Stop Loss level is selected, the tool also determines the permitted trade direction relative to the current market price.

Trading Idea Risk Control

Strifor Auto Lot Calculator can take both a new position and existing positions into account.

You can define:

• Risk per Trade — maximum risk for an individual entry;

• Total Idea Risk — maximum total risk for the entire trading idea;

• Maximum Entries — maximum number of entries;

• Maximum Total Volume — maximum combined position volume;

• Maximum Money Risk — additional monetary risk limit.

When calculating the next entry, the tool considers the risk already allocated and determines the remaining position size available.

If a new entry would exceed the specified risk limit, the operation can be blocked and the reason displayed directly on the panel.

Multiple Entries and Position Scaling

The tool supports trading ideas consisting of multiple positions.

This is particularly useful when scaling into a position and planning several entries within the same trading scenario.

Strifor Auto Lot Calculator can take into account:

• total position volume;

• average entry price;

• existing Stop Loss levels;

• risk already allocated;

• remaining available risk;

• number of completed entries.

This allows the trader to monitor not only the risk of an individual trade, but also the overall state of the trading idea.

Progressive Stop Compression

The Progressive Stop Compression mode is designed for managing risk when adding volume to an existing position.

After a new position is added, the tool recalculates the overall Stop Loss based on the average price and combined position volume, keeping the total risk of the trading idea within the specified limit.

The principle is simple:

Add volume → recalculate the overall Stop Loss → keep total risk within the limit.

The reverse calculation is also available: the trader specifies the desired future overall Stop Loss level, and the tool calculates the maximum volume that can be added while respecting the risk limit.

Average Position Management

In Average Position Management mode, the trader specifies the Stop Loss level in advance, while the tool calculates the appropriate volume for each additional entry.

After each entry, the average position price is recalculated, while the predefined Stop Loss remains the primary risk limit.

The key difference between the two modes:

Progressive: volume is defined → Stop Loss is calculated.

Average: Stop Loss is defined → position size is calculated.

Take Profit and Risk/Reward

Take Profit can be set:

• as a fixed distance;

• relative to Stop Loss;

• using a specified Risk/Reward ratio.

When the Stop Loss changes, the tool can automatically recalculate the corresponding Take Profit level.

Open Position Management

Strifor Auto Lot Calculator can be used not only to calculate new positions, but also to manage existing trades.

The panel provides:

• Sync SL — synchronize Stop Loss levels;

• Sync TP — synchronize Take Profit levels;

• Break Even — move Stop Loss to break-even;

• Close 33% / 50% / 100% — partially or fully close a position;

• Close All — close the selected group of positions;

• Close Pend — remove pending orders;

• Protect Profit — protect accumulated profit from a specified drawdown.

Protect Profit

The Protect Profit function tracks the maximum achieved result of a position or group of positions.

After the specified profit threshold is reached, the tool can close the position if profit subsequently retraces from its maximum level.

This allows traders to define an acceptable profit retracement in advance and automate the protection of accumulated results.

Managing Multiple Trading Ideas

Strifor Auto Lot Calculator allows positions and trading ideas to be separated and managed independently.

The following identifiers are used:

• Magic Number — identifies a strategy or tool instance;

• Profile — defines the working profile for managed positions;

• Group ID — identifies an individual trading idea within a strategy.

This allows multiple independent strategies and trading ideas to operate on the same account without mixing their position sizes or risk limits.

Manual Trade Management

Strifor Auto Lot Calculator is not limited to positions opened through its own interface.

Depending on the selected management scope, the tool can also take manual positions under management and include them in the overall risk calculation.

This allows the tool to be used as either:

a lot size calculator before entering a trade

or

a risk management system for manual trading.

Information Panel

All key parameters are displayed directly on the chart.

The trader can monitor:

• current management mode;

• position direction;

• number of entries;

• total volume;

• average entry price;

• Stop Loss;

• Take Profit;

• current risk;

• maximum risk;

• remaining available risk;

• Risk/Reward;

• potential financial result;

• available volume for the next entry;

• reasons why a new BUY or SELL entry is blocked.

The tool therefore shows not only how much volume can be opened, but also why that particular volume has been calculated.

Who Is Strifor Auto Lot Calculator For?

The tool is suitable for traders who:

• calculate position size based on a predefined risk;

• use different Stop Loss levels for different trades;

• scale into positions through multiple entries;

• want to control the total risk of a trading idea;

• trade manually;

• want to reduce manual calculations before entering a trade;

• use risk management as an integral part of their trading process.

Important

Strifor Auto Lot Calculator is not a trading system, does not generate trading signals, and does not determine entry points.

The trader makes the trading decision, chooses the direction, and defines the Stop Loss level. The tool calculates position size, enforces the configured limits, and helps manage position risk according to the selected management model.

Requires MetaTrader 5 and a hedging account.
