Trade Assistant Risk Calculator FAQ
Answers about the MT5 position size calculator and trade panel EA.
What is Trade Assistant Risk Calculator?
It is an Expert Advisor (EA) for MetaTrader 5 that adds a floating trading panel to your chart. You drag Entry, Stop Loss and Take Profit lines and it calculates the exact lot size for your chosen risk.
Is it an indicator or an Expert Advisor?
It is an Expert Advisor, not an indicator. Attach it to any chart and enable Algo Trading so it can place orders and manage positions. It does not open trades on its own strategy; you control every trade.
Is there a free demo?
Yes. The Demo build runs on demo accounts and in the Strategy Tester for 30 days from first run on each terminal. Live accounts are blocked in the demo.
Does it work on live accounts?
The full version works on both live and demo accounts with no time limit.
Does it support hedging and netting accounts?
Yes, both Hedging and Netting account types are supported.
Which risk modes are available?
Nine: % Balance, % Equity, Fixed Money, Fixed Lots, % Free Margin, % Custom Reference, % Previous Day Balance, % Previous Week Balance and % Previous Month Balance.
Can it calculate lot size including commission?
Yes. When enabled, it estimates round-turn commission per lot from account history and deducts it from the risk budget so the net loss equals your configured risk.
Does it support partial take profits?
Yes. The PARTS tab supports up to 10 take-profit levels and 10 stop-loss levels, each with its own distance and close percentage.
What trailing stop modes are included?
Eight: NONE, PIPS, HI/LO, MA, SAR, ATR, FRACTALS and PARTIAL, plus automatic breakeven.
Can it help me stop over-trading?
Yes. The RISK tab provides trade count limits, cooldowns, max open trades and daily, weekly and monthly loss locks, plus a daily profit lock.
