RiskTrend Planner is a planning tool for MetaTrader 5: a trend line, a risk-based lot size calculator with draggable entry and stop lines, target lines, and a cost, margin and open-risk check on one chart. It does not open trades, and it makes no promise of profit.
What you get
- Trend line with arrows. A Supertrend line (ATR-based) with an arrow when the direction changes. Everything is calculated on closed bars only, so past signals never move (no repainting).
- Risk planner. Choose the risk as a % of balance, a % of equity, or a fixed amount of money. The panel shows the stop distance, the lot size that keeps the loss within that risk, and the real risk after rounding to the lot step. The money per lot is calculated from the contract size and converted with the broker's live exchange rates, so it is correct on forex pairs, metals such as XAUUSD and cross pairs (the tick value is only a fallback, because some servers report it wrongly for gold). You can add your commission per lot. If even the minimum lot risks more than you set, the panel tells you how much.
- Draggable lines (new in 1.10). Take the stop from the trend line, from an ATR multiple, or from a line you drag on the chart. Plan a pending order with a draggable entry line. The lot, targets and costs update as you drag. The lines stay when you change the timeframe.
- Target lines (new in 1.10). Two targets at a multiple of the stop distance (1R and 2R by default), with the money you would make at each.
- Margin and open risk (new in 1.10). An estimate of the margin the planned lot needs, as a % of your free margin. For positions already open on the symbol: net lots and the money you lose if all stops are hit. Positions without a stop are flagged.
- Cost panel. The current spread, and the spread as a percentage of your stop. A stop that is small compared with the spread is flagged, because the spread alone can decide the outcome of short-term trades.
- Session boxes. Tokyo, London and New York ranges (hours editable, in UTC).
- Multi-timeframe table. Trend direction on M5, M15, H1, H4 and D1 (closed bars).
- Alerts. Popup, push notification and email on a confirmed direction change.
- Compact panel. Click the panel title to collapse or expand it.
How the no-repaint behaviour was checked
We recorded the indicator value seen live at every new bar in the Strategy Tester and compared it with the final history value afterwards, on several symbols and timeframes, with every tick: 0 differences. Version 1.10 does not change the trend calculation.
Settings

Important
This tool shows a trend direction and a risk calculation. It cannot predict price. A trend line can be wrong for long periods, especially in ranging markets, and trading involves a risk of loss. Swap is not included in the calculation. Test on a demo account first.
