Margin and Lot Size Panel

Panel inputs and calculations explained:

1]  This panel includes common forex calculations in one easy to use panel.

2]  User inputs are shown in the two white boxes: Risk and Stop.

3]  Based on those two inputs the panel automatically calculates items shown in red, blue, orange and green.

4]  All calculations are given in the denomination used by the account.

Risk                    

risk percentage; input the percentage (please allow for decimals: eg., 0.5,1.2,1.7,1.8 etc) of

Stop                  

the distance between the open price and the stop loss; entered in points not pips

Lot Size              

using risk percentage and stop loss points, the lot size is calculated in blue

Margin Cost      

shown in orange ( withoutcents) and based upon the lot size and accounts leverage ratio

Equity %            

this tells me that the Margin Cost of the trade (in the panel example) uses 56.3% of the account equity

*the calculation does not need to consider trades already queued or filled

*please include decimals in this calculation

*if the Margin Cost happens to be greater than the account equity, perhaps leave Equity % blank or show the percentage, for example 112.6%
