Risk Ratio Planner – Risk Management Utility for MetaTrader 5

Risk Ratio Planner is a utility tool for MetaTrader 5 that helps traders visualize and calculate risk-to-reward setups directly on the chart.

The tool allows users to define entry, stop loss, and take profit levels using draggable lines, providing a clear view of trade structure before execution.

It is designed for manual traders who want to plan trades with consistent risk control and better position sizing decisions.

Main Functions

Risk Ratio Planner provides basic trade planning and risk visualization features.

Main functions include:

• Interactive entry, stop loss, and take profit lines
• Automatic risk ratio calculation based on selected levels
• Visual display of trade direction (buy or sell)
• Real-time update when lines are adjusted
• Clear validation of setup conditions

These functions help traders quickly evaluate whether a trade setup meets their risk criteria.

Trade Planning Workflow

The tool operates directly on the chart using three key levels:

• Entry
• Stop Loss
• Take Profit

By adjusting these levels, the tool calculates the corresponding risk ratio and displays whether the setup is valid.

Typical usage:

• define entry level
• set stop loss distance
• adjust take profit target
• review calculated ratio

This workflow allows traders to standardize trade planning before placing orders.

Visual Interface

Risk Ratio Planner displays information in a compact panel on the chart.

Displayed data may include:

• current mode (planning state)
• calculated risk ratio
• setup status (valid or invalid)

The panel is designed to remain readable while minimizing obstruction to price action.
