Orders, stops and sizing from your risk

The order ticket places market, limit and stop orders. Turn on "Attach stop loss and take profit" to send a stop and a target with every entry, in ticks.

"Size the position from my risk" picks the number of contracts for you: enter the dollars (or percent of the balance) you are willing to lose at the stop and the ticket sizes the trade, commission included.

On the chart you can drag the stop and target lines. When an account has a daily loss limit or a drawdown, a dotted line shows the price where that limit would be hit.
