ONE DRAG SETS THE LOT SIZE - RISK STAYS WITHIN YOUR LIMIT
Risk-first position sizing for traders who protect their capital
Also available for MT4: https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/185979
New on version 2.1: RR box Transparency Slider
Risk Sentinel is a risk-first position sizing and risk management tool for MT5, built for prop-firm evaluation and funded traders. Drag your stop-loss and the lot size recalculates live, so your risk stays fixed no matter the SL distance — no more re-doing the math on every setup. See the exact lot size, risk, reward, R:R and required margin; size by percentage or a fixed cash amount; snap to your open position; and keep your settings and layout across timeframe switches. Planning utility only; it does not place trades or enforce firm rules.
1. Full Feature List
On-chart position tool (TradingView-style)
• Draggable Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit lines — or type exact prices into the dashboard when you need precision instead of the drag.
• Drag the stop-loss and the lot size recalculates live, so your risk stays fixed no matter the SL distance — the position sizes itself around your risk, not the other way around.
• Filled risk zone (red) and reward zone (green) that read like a TradingView long/short tool.
• Long / Short toggle that mirrors SL and TP to the correct side of entry.
• Smooth single-click-and-drag on any line (no double-click, no re-selecting), with an 8-pixel grab tolerance.
• On-chart labels on each line: price plus risk/reward in account currency, and live R:R at the entry.
• Reset button re-centers the tool on the current price with a clean default stop and target when a plan gets messy.
• Zones hug the right edge of the chart and follow new bars.
Automatic lot-size engine
• Five Risk Size modes: % of Initial Balance (user-defined starting balance), % of Current Balance, % of Equity (auto-refreshes on a timer), Cash Amount (a fixed cash figure in your account currency), and Fix Lot (fixed volume; drives the risk/reward figures instead).
• Position size is derived from the Entry-to-SL distance and your chosen risk — percentage, cash amount, or fixed lot.
• Lot is rounded down to the broker’s volume step and clamped to min/max, so risk is never overshot; if even the minimum lot would exceed your limit, the tool flags it rather than sizing over.
• Per-point value is computed from contract size × currency conversion — the same basis MT5 uses — so figures stay correct across account currencies and instrument types.
Risk : Reward control
• Dynamic RR — RR is read live from your dragged or typed SL and TP.
• Static RR — you enter a target RR and TP is placed automatically from the stop.
• RR shown at the entry level and in the dashboard.
Stop Loss modes
• Manual — drag the line or type the exact SL price.
• ATR-based — enter an ATR period in bars (e.g. 14) and a multiplier; the tool reads the live ATR from the chart’s timeframe and places the stop at ATR × multiplier, refreshing each new bar.
Take Profit modes
• RR-based — TP follows your RR target and re-adjusts automatically when the stop moves.
• Manual — drag the line or type the exact TP price.
Broker spread modeling
• One-tap toggle to fold the live broker spread into the calculation.
• Adds spread to the stop distance and subtracts it from the target — the true cost of entry.
• Shows net RR and the current spread in points.
• Draws a second, labeled effective SL / TP line. Each level’s raw and spread-adjusted figures (price + money) sit on opposite sides of the line, so they never overlap — even when the spread is a single point.
Snap to Position
• One click pulls your open price, SL, TP, direction, and volume from the live position onto the tool, so the dashboard matches the broker’s order window exactly — no manual dragging.
Floating dashboard
• Draggable and minimizable panel that remembers its position and settings across timeframe changes.
• Editable Entry / SL / TP price boxes for exact levels; read-only fields grey out when the mode computes them for you (ATR stop, RR target).
• Dark / Light theme toggle.
• Lock toggle — makes the on-chart lines inert so clicks pass through to your broker’s execution lines when the plan overlaps a live trade.
• Hide Box toggle — hides the on-chart lines/zones for a clean chart while keeping the dashboard live.
• Reset button — re-center the tool to a clean default plan.
• Highlighted lot size for at-a-glance reading (theme-aware).
• Live trade-plan summary: Lot Size, Risk (money), Reward (money), RR, Required Margin, and Margin as % of equity.
• Every setting is adjustable both from the panel and from the indicator inputs.
Compatibility
• Works on any symbol — forex, metals, indices, and other CFDs.
• Correct for any account deposit currency and any account leverage.
• Works on netting and hedging accounts.
2. What It Does NOT Do
• It does not open, modify, or close trades. It is a planning and visualization indicator, not an Expert Advisor or auto-trader.
• It does not generate buy/sell signals or entry/exit advice.
• It does not manage open positions (no trailing stop, no break-even automation, no partial close).
• Margin for CFDs/indices is a close estimate (marked with a ~) because brokers use custom margin rates; forex and metals margin are exact.
• For instruments not quoted in your account currency, the relevant conversion pair must be present in Market Watch (e.g., EURUSD for a EUR-quoted index).
• The ATR-based stop reads the current chart timeframe’s ATR — ATR(14) on M5 is a different distance than ATR(14) on H1.
• Spread figures use the live spread at the moment of calculation, which naturally fluctuates.
=================================================================================
Key benefits
• Never breach on a sizing mistake — the exact lot for your risk cap is computed for you, live, on every drag or edit.
• Made for prop rules — fixed-% sizing off initial balance, current balance, or equity fits static and trailing-drawdown evaluations alike.
• Risk your way — by percentage or by a fixed cash amount, with a hard cap that never exceeds what you set.
• Drag for speed, type for precision — set levels by eye or to the exact price; the lot size updates either way.
• Risk-first by design — you set the risk; the tool finds the size, not the other way around.
• Discipline as a routine — the same drag-read-confirm sequence before every entry builds the consistency evaluations reward.
• Honest R:R — spread modeling shows what you’ll really get, so your reward targets stay realistic.
• Verifiable, not hype — matches your broker’s order window to the cent; no black box, no claims.
• Stays out of the way — lock and hide keep it from cluttering a live trade.
Ideal for
• Prop-firm traders in evaluation — who must hit a target without breaching daily-loss or max-drawdown limits.
• Funded traders — protecting the account and the payout with consistent per-trade risk.
• Discipline-builders — anyone moving from discretionary lot sizes to a repeatable, risk-first routine.
• Discretionary and technical MT5 traders who size by fixed-percentage risk on forex, metals, or indices.
