Not sure if my heading explain it enough but i will try go into detail. so basically would like feature that is available on mt4/5 position size calculator that we can have a fixed risk percentage and our lot size changes based on our entry and SL input.

You can use the below code for automating lot sizing on cAlgo. Also you can modify the way you wanted

                                     double longStopLoss = Math.Min(Bars.Last(1).Low, Bars.Last(2).Low) - (Symbol.PipValue * 0.5);
                                    double balance = Account.Balance;
                                    double riskAmount = balance * RiskPercent * 0.01;
                                    douuble longRiskPoints = Ask - longStopLoss;
                                    double volumeinLots = Math.Floor(((riskAmount / longRiskPoints) / Symbol.LotSize) * 100) / 100;
                                    double volumeInUnits = Symbol.QuantityToVolumeInUnits(volumeinLots);
                                    ExecuteMarketOrderAsync(TradeType.Buy, SymbolName, volumeInUnits, label);

I have used for EuroUSD. I have put last two bars low as stoploss.

Absolutely agreed

I would like to be able to place my orders using a risk percentage settings instead of having to use a calc first and then change the lot size. I scalp so being able to quickly place an order at 1% of my bank means when prices quickly change and i need to adjust my order, I dont need to constantly recalculate the lots to ensure i am only risking 1%. The trade panel is fantastic on ctrader, for me the only thing missing is a percentage based risk setting

OK but do not have a clue what to do with that lol

This is a very important function! Why hasn't it been done yet?

Это очень важная функция! Почему это до сих пор не сделано?
