Risk Calculator
This EA is a risk calculation utility that helps traders determine appropriate position sizes based on their account equity, risk percentage, and stop-loss distance. It does not open, close, or manage any trades on its own; instead, it provides computed lot size recommendations to assist with manual trading decisions. The tool serves as a money management aid for disciplined position sizing.

Strategy analysis
This EA does not contain a trading strategy itself; it is a pure risk management calculation utility. Its core function is to automatically compute a suggested lot size based on the user-defined risk percentage (of account equity) and stop-loss distance in points. Entry and exit conditions are entirely left to the user's discretion, as the EA provides no signals or trade triggers whatsoever. In terms of position sizing, it uses a formula that divides the risked dollar amount by the per-point value to derive a reasonable trade volume, ensuring each trade's risk exposure stays within controllable bounds. Money management is its sole functional focus, emphasizing a fixed-fractional risk model that helps traders maintain consistency and avoid over-leveraging. The tool does not involve any technical indicators, signal generation, or automated execution logic.
Strengths
- Helps traders strictly enforce fixed-fractional risk management, avoiding emotional over-positioning
- Simple and transparent calculation logic that is easy to understand and use, reducing human error in position sizing
- No automated trading involved; the user retains full control over trading decisions, making it very safe
Weaknesses
- Single-function utility that only provides lot size calculation, lacking other risk management tools such as risk-reward ratio calculation or account-level risk overview
- Does not account for spread and slippage impact on actual risk, so calculated results may deviate from real execution
- No multi-symbol or cross-pair risk aggregation, unable to evaluate overall account exposure
Possible improvements
- Add risk-reward ratio calculation to help traders evaluate potential return versus risk before entering a trade
- Add an account-level risk overview panel displaying total risk exposure and correlation across all open positions
Risk assessment
Overall risk: Safe
- This tool does not execute any trading operations, so there is no automated trading-related risk
- Calculated results are for reference only; users should consider actual market conditions (spread, slippage) for comprehensive judgment
