VeloRisk Position Size Calculator

Trade with a Plan. Calculate Your Risk Before You Enter.

VeloRisk is a practical risk management utility for MetaTrader 5 designed to help traders calculate position sizes based on their account balance, chosen risk percentage, and stop-loss distance.

Instead of estimating lot sizes manually, VeloRisk helps you determine a suitable position size before placing a trade. Its purpose is simple: make risk calculations easier, faster, and more consistent.

Whether you are a beginner learning disciplined risk management or an experienced trader who wants a convenient calculation tool, VeloRisk provides a straightforward way to plan your trade size.

KEY FEATURES

1. Risk-Based Position Size Calculation

Calculate a suggested trading volume based on your account balance, selected risk percentage, and stop-loss distance. This helps you align your position size with a predefined risk budget.

2. Adjustable Risk Percentage

Choose the percentage of your account balance you are willing to risk on a trade. VeloRisk uses this value to calculate your risk budget and determine a corresponding position size.

3. Custom Stop-Loss Distance

Enter your intended stop-loss distance in points to calculate a position size appropriate to your planned trade.

4. BUY and SELL Calculation Support

Calculate position sizes for both BUY and SELL trade scenarios. VeloRisk accounts for the direction of the proposed trade when estimating the potential loss at the stop-loss level.

5. Symbol-Aware Calculations

VeloRisk uses available symbol and account information from MetaTrader 5, including price data and the platform's profit-calculation functionality, to estimate potential losses. This helps the calculation reflect the instrument's trading specifications.

6. Volume-Step Adjustment

The calculated volume is adjusted to the symbol's permitted trading-volume step and trading limits. This helps produce a volume compatible with the instrument's available specifications.

7. Simple On-Chart Interface

Use the VeloRisk panel directly within MetaTrader 5 for convenient access to its risk and position-size inputs and calculations.

8. Calculation Without Automatic Trade Execution

VeloRisk is a risk management and position-size calculation utility. It does not automatically open or close trades. You remain in control of your trading decisions and order placement.

WHO IS VELO RISK FOR?

VeloRisk is suitable for:

• Forex traders who want a convenient way to calculate position sizes.

• Traders who use stop-loss orders as part of their risk management process.

• Beginners learning how risk percentage affects trading volume.

• Experienced traders who prefer to calculate position size before placing orders.

• Traders who want a consistent calculation workflow within MetaTrader 5.

WHY POSITION SIZING MATTERS

A stop-loss distance alone does not determine how much money a trade may lose. The trading volume and the instrument's contract and tick specifications also matter.

For example, selecting a risk percentage establishes a target risk budget based on the account balance. The position size must then be calculated in relation to the intended stop-loss and the instrument's estimated loss per lot.

VeloRisk is designed to simplify this process, helping traders make more informed decisions about position size before entering the market.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• VeloRisk is a calculation and risk management utility, not an automated trading robot.

• It does not guarantee profits or prevent losses.

• A calculated risk amount is an estimate based on the supplied settings and available trading information.

• Actual losses may differ because of slippage, gaps, spread changes, commissions, swaps, execution conditions, or other market and broker factors.

• Correct results depend on the availability and accuracy of the trading symbol's specifications and account information.

• Always verify the calculated volume and your intended stop-loss before placing an order.

• Risk management cannot eliminate the risks associated with trading leveraged financial instruments.
