Position Size and Risk Calculator converts a risk rule into an order ticket: it shows the lot size that matches your risk, the resulting stop loss and take profit prices, and the margin the trade will use. It does not trade. It calculates and draws a panel. WHAT IT SHOWS Account - Balance, equity. Setup - Symbol, side (buy / sell), entry price, stop distance in price and in points, risk / reward ratio. Result - Risk per lot: what one lot costs if the stop is hit. - Volume: the position size that matches your risk rule, normalized to the symbol's volume step and clamped to minimum / maximum volume. - Risk amount and risk % of equity. - SL price and TP price, both rounded to the symbol tick size. - Target profit at TP. - Margin and margin % of equity for the calculated volume. A warning row appears when the rule cannot be satisfied, for example when the calculated volume is above the symbol maximum or below the minimum, or when the free margin is not enough. WHY IT IS USEFUL "I risk 1%" is not an order size. The distance between entry and stop changes the lot, and the lot changes the margin. Doing that arithmetic under pressure is where position sizing breaks, so the panel does it continuously as you change the stop. INPUTS Setup - Symbol (empty = this chart), trade direction, entry price (0 = market) - Risk mode: risk % of equity, risk amount in account currency, or fixed lots - Risk % (default 1.0), risk amount, fixed lots Stop - Stop distance mode: points or ATR - Stop distance in points (default 200) - ATR timeframe, ATR period, ATR multiplier - Reward ratio (TP = SL x RR, default 2.0) Panel - Show panel, panel corner, X / Y offset, panel width, value column offset - Font, font size, refresh interval Colours - Background, header, border, key text, value text NOTES - Read-only. Never sends orders; the volume must be entered in the terminal manually. - Volume is normalized with SYMBOL_VOLUME_STEP and limited by SYMBOL_VOLUME_MIN / MAX. - Stop distance uses SYMBOL_TRADE_STOPS_LEVEL as an information check; always confirm the final ticket preview in the terminal. - Works on any symbol and timeframe. Hedging and netting accounts are both supported. DISCLAIMER This indicator is a calculation tool. It does not predict market direction and does not guarantee any result. Verify the order in the terminal before sending it. Trading involves risk.
