SignalX ATR Stop Planner

What this is

A planning tool that projects a volatility-based stop and target onto the chart and tells you the lot size that a fixed risk percent implies at that distance. Useful before you commit to a trade, and useful for building the habit of sizing from risk rather than from feeling.

What it does

Draws ATR-based stop and target levels and shows the lot size for a fixed risk percent.

• Volatility-adaptive stop projection drawn live on the chart.
• Runs as an Expert Advisor attached to a single chart.
• No DLL calls. No external services. No network requests.
• No account, terminal, symbol or time limitation is embedded.

Inputs

How to use it

1. Attach the EA to a chart of the symbol you trade.
2. Set the inputs to match your own risk approach. Defaults are deliberately conservative.
3. Allow live trading in the Expert Advisors settings for this EA.
4. Test on a demo account first. That is not a formality; the defaults are not tuned to your broker.

Notes

• Written for MetaTrader 4, any broker, any account currency. Sizing maths uses the symbol's own tick value.
• Works alongside other EAs, including with a magic number you choose, so it will not fight them for orders it does not own.
• It performs management and measurement only; it does not generate trading signals.

Honest limits

• This is a tool, not a strategy. It does not predict anything and it cannot make a losing method profitable.
• No performance figures are published for it because tools of this kind do not have a meaningful backtest curve of their own.
• If your broker quotes oddly (very wide spreads, non-standard tick values) verify the sizing on a demo account before using real funds.

Trading involves risk of loss. Nothing here is financial advice.
