What I build: - Sürüm: 1.0
Know your lot size before you click Buy or Sell.
The Chart Mechanics Risk and Position Size is a free panel for MetaTrader 5. Set how much you want to risk and where your stop goes, and it shows the lot size to use and the money actually at risk in your account currency. It is an indicator, so it never opens, changes or closes trades.
WHAT IT SHOWS
- Lot size, rounded DOWN to your broker's lot step, so you never risk more than you set
- Money at risk after rounding, in your account currency
- Size before rounding, so you can see what the rounding cost you
- Money per pip for the size shown
- Margin needed for the trade
- Reward and R multiple at a target line (Lines mode)
THREE WAYS TO SET THE STOP
- Pips
- Points
- Lines on the chart: drag the entry, stop and target lines and the panel updates as you move them, with price and money tags on each line
RISK YOUR WAY
- Risk as a percentage or a fixed amount of money
- Size from Balance, Equity or Free margin
- Optional commission per lot (round turn) included in the risk
- Optional: add the current spread to a pips or points stop
WARNINGS
- Size below the broker minimum, and what the minimum lot would actually risk
- Size above the broker maximum
- Not enough free margin for the trade
ACCURATE ACROSS MARKETS
The MetaTrader 5 version uses the terminal's own profit calculation, so it works on forex, metals, indices and other CFDs with your broker's contract settings. The MetaTrader 4 version uses your broker's tick value and tick size.
