Risk modes and position sizing
Percentage risk scales with the account basis used by the platform. Cash risk uses a fixed amount in the account currency; it is not fixed lot size. Both use Entry-to-SL distance and live symbol specifications. Always review the displayed monetary risk after platform normalization.
Entry, Stop Loss, Take Profit and R Lock
Market Entry begins at current Ask for a Buy or Bid for a Sell. Pending mode derives Limit or Stop type from direction and geometry. R is planned reward divided by stop distance. With R Lock enabled, moving SL moves TP and moving TP moves SL to preserve the selected relationship.
Trade management
Select a specific open trade first. Partial closes the selected percentage at market, BE requests SL at entry, and TS toggles pip-based trailing with its trigger and distance. Automatic partial-TP lines, ATR trailing and structure trailing are not available in 1.0.0.
Platform differences
| Area | MT4 | MT5 | cTrader |
|---|---|---|---|
| Component | Expert Advisor | Expert Advisor | Desktop plugin |
| Below-minimum positive volume | Clamps to minimum and displays actual risk | Rejects with zero/error | Native symbol normalization |
| Deviation | Platform control where exposed | Platform control where exposed | No equivalent MT setting |
Troubleshooting
No size or invalid setup
Confirm risk is positive, Entry differs from SL, line geometry is correct and valid symbol data is available.
Order cannot be sent
Check trading permission, market hours, margin, stop distance, current prices and pending-order side. A valid calculation does not guarantee broker acceptance.
Panel missing or duplicated
Remove the calculator, confirm only one current package is installed, refresh or restart, then attach one instance.

Responsibility and risk
Trading involves substantial risk. Market movement, gaps, slippage, connectivity and broker behavior can make execution and realized loss differ from the plan. The user remains responsible for checking and approving every trade.
