Gold Lot Size Calculator MT5
- Indicatori
- Versione: 1.0
Drag the stop loss line and get the right lot size at once. Gold Lot Size Calculator puts a red stop loss line on your chart: move it where your stop should be, and the panel shows the lot size for your risk, the real money at risk and the take profit at your risk:reward. Made for gold (XAUUSD), works on every symbol. Free.
Gold moves fast and a stop of 15 or 20 dollars is normal. With the wrong lot, one trade can cost 5 % of the account. With this calculator you always open the right size, in three seconds, without a calculator on the phone.
HOW IT WORKS
- Attach the indicator to a chart. A red stop loss line appears near the price.
- Drag the line to your stop. Below the price = BUY, above the price = SELL.
- The panel shows the lot size for your risk and the green take profit line appears at your risk:reward.
THE PANEL
- BUY or SELL with the lot size, in big letters.
- Risk: your risk in % and money, and the real risk with the rounded lot.
- Entry and stop: the real entry (Ask for buy, Bid for sell) and the distance in price and in points.
- Take profit: the price at your risk:reward and how much it pays.
- [ Hide lines ]: one click hides the lines, one click brings them back next to the price.
FEATURES
- Risk in % of balance or in money.
- The lot is rounded down to your broker lot step, so you never risk more than you want.
- If the risk is too small for the minimum lot, the panel shows the minimum lot in orange and the real risk.
- Take profit at any risk:reward (for example 1:2), or off.
- Line colors and panel corner can be changed.
- Read-only: it never opens or changes a trade.
INSTALLATION
- Drag Gold Lot Size Calculator MT5 onto a gold chart (or any symbol).
- In the Inputs tab, set your risk and your risk:reward. Click OK.
NOTES
- The risk is calculated with the tick value of your broker. Spread at entry and slippage at the stop can change the real result a little.
