ATS Lot Sizer

THE LOT FROM YOUR STOP. FREE.

Picking a lot size by feel is how a normal loss becomes a bad day. ATS Lot Sizer puts two lines on your chart, a stop and a target. Drag them, and the panel tells you the lot size that fits your risk and the money that lot really puts on the line. One click sends the trade with the stop and target attached.

HOW IT WORKS

• Pick LONG or SHORT. A stop line and a target line appear on the chart. Drag them.
• Lots = your risk (percent of balance, percent of equity, or a fixed sum) divided by the stop distance, floored to the lot step, never rounded up.
• The panel shows what that lot really loses, not the budget you asked for.
• The target follows your stop at the R you set until you drag it yourself.
• Boxed tags on the right edge show STOP and TARGET with the money at stake.
• SEND arms on the first click and confirms on the second, so a slip of the finger sends nothing (can be switched off).

THE PLAN

Entry, stop and target with their distances, lots, risk in money and in percent, reward and R:R, and how much of your stop the spread eats. If the plan cannot work (stop on the wrong side, closer than the broker minimum, lot below the minimum, not enough margin), the button says NOT READY and the panel tells you why.

THE PANEL

Symbol, timeframe and spread in the header. The R button switches the risk between 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 percent. Dark, light and automatic themes, draggable, sharp on high resolution monitors.

WORKS ON

Any symbol, hedging or netting accounts. Nothing here decides what to trade: no signals, no strategy.

WANT MORE?

ATS Risk Desk, the full edition from the same author, adds break-even, partial close, close all, auto break-even and trailing, the risk of all your open trades, and a daily loss lock that blocks the send button for the rest of the day.

GOOD TO KNOW

• Stops and targets go to the broker with the order; the broker's minimum distance and freeze level apply.
• Distances are in price units (on gold, 3.0 means 3 USD).
• Test it on a demo account first. In the Strategy Tester use the visual mode: the panel works there.
• Trading involves risk. This tool helps you size a trade; it does not remove the risk.

SETTINGS

Risk source and value, lot cap, default stop (fixed or 1.5 x ATR 14) and target in R, confirm step, spread warning, magic number, slippage, panel position and theme.
