Lot Size Calculator, Risk Manager and Trade Panel for MetaTrader 5
Lot Size Calculator Risk Manager Panel MT5 (This is the free edition of Lot Architect PRO) is a trading utility for MetaTrader 5 that combines a lot size calculator, position size calculator, risk manager and trade panel in one chart-based interface.
The utility calculates position size from a selected risk value and displays the planned trade information before order execution. Entry, Stop Loss and Take Profit levels can be entered manually or adjusted directly on the chart.
Main Features

The panel displays the main risk and reward information for the planned trade:
-

-
Required margin
