KF Risk Calculator — Interactive On-Chart Position Sizing & Risk Management Panel
KF Risk Calculator is a professional on-chart utility indicator for MetaTrader 5 designed to eliminate position sizing errors. It calculates your optimal lot size in real time based on your account balance, equity, or fixed cash risk, ensuring your volume strictly adheres to your broker's volume constraints (min lot, max lot, and step size). Featuring interactive draggable Stop Loss and Take Profit lines, it provides instant visual feedback on potential loss, reward-to-risk ratio, margin requirements, and spread cost before you place any trade.
KEY FEATURES
- 3 Flexible Risk Modes: Risk as a percentage of Account Balance, percentage of Equity, or Fixed Cash amount.
- Direct Inline Risk Editing: Type your risk value directly on the chart panel via interactive input edit control.
- Interactive Draggable Lines: Drag horizontal SL and TP lines on the chart to instantly recalculate lot size, dollar risk, and target profit.
- Strict Broker Volume Normalization: All lot calculations are rounded down (floored) to the broker's VOLUME_STEP. If the calculated lot falls below VOLUME_MIN, the calculator displays a clear warning rather than silently increasing your risk.
- Auto-Direction Detection: Automatically detects BUY or SELL orientation based on the position of your Stop Loss line relative to market quotes.
- Live Margin & Spread Tracking: Computes required margin against available free margin, warns if stop level constraints are violated, and displays real-time spread and pip value.
- Clean Adaptive GUI: Supports 4-corner chart docking (Top-Left, Top-Right, Bottom-Left, Bottom-Right) with Auto/Dark/Light theme support (WCAG AA contrast compliant) and one-click minimize mode.
- Non-Intrusive & Independent: Runs as a lightweight chart indicator with zero impact on chart speed, allowing you to use it alongside any Expert Advisor.
