CageCalc
- Indicateurs
- Version: 1.6
- Activations: 5
Tell CageCalc two things — the money you are willing to risk on one trade, and where your stop goes — and it does the lot-size arithmetic for any instrument:
- **Your risk in money** (default $8) and your stop, either as a price or a distance in points
- it reads the instrument's real tick value, tick size and volume limits from your broker feed — no symbol tables, no guesses
- shows the **loss per 1.0 lot** at your stop distance, the **lots that fit your risk** (floored to the broker's volume step, never rounded up), and the **actual dollar risk** of that size
- and its verdict, the **CAGE CHECK**: if even the broker's minimum lot would risk more than your number, it says **BREACHES AT MIN LOT** in red and shows what the minimum lot would actually risk. No silent oversizing, ever.
For suite use, CageCalc also checks its position once per second. If the Five-Stack Panel covers CageCalc's default slot, CageCalc shifts below the Panel — and below SpreadClock if SpreadClock was shifted onto the same ground. Removing the Panel restores the selected Y position.
Any symbol, any account currency the broker reports tick values in. It calculates and draws. It does not place, modify or close trades, and it makes no claim about whether any trade is a good idea — position size is risk plumbing, not a signal.
Runs on XAUUSD and other CFDs, and on futures contracts as well — including 1-ounce gold futures — any symbol your broker offers in MetaTrader 5.
