Ultimate Risk Manager EA – Lot & Position Size Calculator for MT5/MT4
Most traders don’t blow their accounts because of bad analysis — they blow it because of incorrect position sizing. Calculating lot size manually under market pressure is slow and error-prone, and even a small mistake can turn a normal trade into a serious loss.
A Complete Position Size Calculator, Fully Automated
Simply set the percentage of your account you’re willing to risk per trade, and the EA automatically calculates the exact lot size based on your stop-loss distance and account balance.
As a complete lot size calculator built directly into your chart, the Risk Manager EA removes all guesswork from position sizing. You simply set your desired risk percent, and every calculation happens instantly in the background — no spreadsheets, no manual math, no delays.
Works on both MetaTrader 5 and MetaTrader 4, giving you the same automated position sizing on either platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s a good risk percentage to use?
Most professional traders risk between 1% and 2% of their account per trade. This value is fully adjustable in the EA settings.
Does the Risk Manager EA work on both MT5 and MT4?
Yes. The Risk Manager EA is available for both MetaTrader 5 and MetaTrader 4, with the same automatic lot-size calculation on either platform.
Does this EA open trades automatically, or only manage position size?
Both. Click the “Buy” or “Sell” button once, and the EA displays a single stop-loss line on the chart for you to adjust based on your strategy. Once you’ve positioned the line, click the button a second time — the EA automatically calculates the correct lot size based on your risk percent input and sends the order instantly.
How long does installation take?
Less than 2 minutes — just drop the file into your MT5 or MT4 Experts folder.
Can I set a custom risk percent for different trades?
Yes. You can adjust the risk percent at any time, giving you full control as a hands-off automatic risk manager for every trade you take.
Is this the same as a manual position size calculator?
No. Unlike a standalone lot size calculator where you type in numbers by hand, the Risk Manager EA reads your stop-loss directly from the chart and calculates the correct lot size instantly — no copying numbers between windows.
Set Your Trade in Two Clicks
Click “Buy” or “Sell” once, and the EA shows a single stop-loss line on the chart. Drag it to match your own strategy. On the second click, the EA automatically calculates the correct lot size based on your risk percent and sends the order instantly — no manual entry required.
