Lab Risk Calculator

Lab Risk Calculator answers the most important question before every trade: how many lots can I open without risking more than I planned?

How it works

1. Attach it to any chart. A red stop-loss line appears.
2. Drag the line to where your stop will be.
3. The panel instantly shows the exact lot size for your risk percentage.

Features

• Works on forex, indices, metals, energies and CFDs (uses the symbol's real tick value).
• Detects long or short automatically: stop below price = long, above price = short.
• Shows stop distance in points, money at risk and the lot size, rounded down to the broker's lot step so you never exceed your risk.
• Warns you when your risk is too small for the minimum lot.
• Draws a take-profit line at your chosen reward:risk ratio (default 2R).
• Change the risk % directly on the panel.
• Balance or equity mode.
• Does not open, modify or close trades. It is a pure calculation tool.

Inputs

• Risk per trade (%)
• Reward:Risk ratio for the take-profit line
• Use equity instead of balance
• Initial stop distance (x ATR 14)
• Panel position and colours
