Fixed risk percentage and Integrated commission fees in the risk calculation
20 Jan 2023, 09:57


Hello,

I would like to propose two improvements that could change my life :)

Currently, I have to calculate my risk with commision fees included ans my lot size in an excel sheet.

 

The first suggestion is the integration of a parameter to fix the risk percentage when setting up a new order.

Currently, changing the stop loss modifies the risk instead of the number of lots required.

 

The second suggestion is the integration of commission fees into this same risk percentage parameter.

This would allow for better consideration of the costs associated with each trade and thus better management of overall risk.
