And you guys almost got it. With your create new order window just add a risk percent auto calculation there and a moveable horizontal line that adds stop loss. Then lot size is automatically adjusted as the horizontal line is moved.

RE:

+1

Almost every forex education source i hammering on the importance of risk- and money management.

So missing this feature on such a sophisticated and intuitive trading platform is very strange to me.

It cant be that difficult to add this functionality to cTrader.

RMM (risk and money management cBot)

The "Lots to trade 1.0" cBot gives the trader information on lot sizing according to the risk management parameters setup.

You can read more about the cBot right here: Lots to trade 1.0 cBot 

It is a free to download and can be run on live and demo accounts without restrictions.

Thanks for this. But it's still not good enough. We want a horizontal line prior to finalizing the order to set the stop loss not a pre-defined stop loss. Then the position adjusts as the price go up and down. I'm a scalper and having to measure the stop loss each time before a trade will not cut it for us scalpers. For example I like placing my stop loss at a previous swing and I would place a horizontal line above/below that swing.

I don't believe that you guys will ever listen to your users. You guy were so close but it looks like you are abandoning the whole project.

I suggest a trade manager just like I use in MT4 http://www.forexpitstop.com/; Have this and I'll be fully liberated from Metatrader 4. Right now I still use an MT4 to Ctrader bridge because that trade manager automatically calculates lot size based on risk% and stop loss. When buying at market it first goes on preview and then you can move a horizontal line to place your stop loss and then lot size is calculated based on risk%. Very usefull tool check it out and make something like that. 

Why won't you use the Trade Promotion Management by Comarch? It helps you control yout promotion budget, forecast your sales and also you can generate the report that you can easily understand as well :) Just go there and check it out: http://www.comarch.com/trade-and-services

Bridges not a good choice

Bridges are not a good choice. Just too much that can go wrong along the way. Better of course to have the original coding done in c# for cAlgo and cTrader.

Market Order 3.0 has the risk and money principles, it calculate the stop loss and target on pips, percentage or on the amount. In a future version we will include calculating the lots or volume to trade as well.

This is exactly what I need. But would it be possible when choosing fixed price. And when hit preview the stop loss horizontal line is moveable?

Hello Paul,

is the moving of the preview SL line is possible in any way with the current cTrader API. 

This is the only feature I'm missing from the QuickFX Terminal.

Thank you in advance.
