Features:
Flexible Risk Settings
Set risk as a percentage of your account or a fixed dollar amount per trade.

Stop distance can be defined as a percent of entry price or a fixed price.
Automatically adjusts stop distance when position is cash-limited to achieve your target risk.
Take Profit Options
TP can be defined as a fixed R multiple (e.g., 2R) or fixed absolute price.
Cash-Limited Position Handling
Optional “Cap Position to Account Size” prevents buying more shares than your cash allows.
Shows actual achievable risk if your cash limits position size.
