Full documentation and every setting are on the realbacktesting website.

A free trading panel for cTrader. Set your risk, place the stop, and the panel works out the size. Before the order is sent, it checks it against your daily and maximum loss - counting what your open trades would lose at their stops. If it does not fit, it is not sent.

No time limit, no demo-only restriction, no symbol list. It works on live and demo accounts, personal or funded.

WHAT YOU GET

- Buy or sell at market from a panel inside cTrader: in the side panel, at the bottom, as a page of its own or in a separate window.

- Risk as % of balance or a fixed amount.

- Stop and target in pips, or drag their lines on the chart. The risk and the target are shaded red and green between the lines.

- R:R with a lock: move the stop and the target follows.

- Before you send: size, risk, target, R:R, pip value and margin. Commission is included in the size.

- The size is always rounded DOWN. If even the minimum size would risk more than you asked, nothing is sent and you are told why.

- Every order is described with its numbers and waits for Confirm (you can turn that off).

THE CHECK BEFORE EVERY ORDER

The panel adds up what you would lose if every open trade and pending order hit its stop, plus this new one. If that crosses your limit, the order is not sent - no spread paid - and the panel offers the largest size that fits.

YOUR TWO LIMITS, ACROSS THE WHOLE ACCOUNT

- Daily loss as an amount or %, counting open trades, measured from the balance or the equity at the reset, the higher of both, or the day's equity peak

- Maximum loss from your starting balance (static)

- When a limit is hit: close everything and block, or only block new trades. Act before the limit (for example at 90%) to leave room for slippage.

- The day resets at midnight UTC, midnight Central European time, 17:00 New York, 17:00 Chicago or an hour you choose

- Tighter limits apply now; by default, looser limits wait for the next reset

- Restarting cTrader does not unblock the day

- Two starting templates for a personal account: cautious and active

POSITIONS

- Every open trade with its result; close one, or close everything

- A warning before the weekend close, sound and on-screen alerts

- English, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Italian

WHAT IT CANNOT DO

Only orders sent from the panel can be checked before they reach your broker. Orders from elsewhere (the platform's own ticket, your phone, other cBots) are closed right after they open while you are blocked - that costs spread and commission. If cTrader is closed, nothing is enforced. Prices can gap past a limit.

There are no functions to hide anything from a broker or a prop firm, and nothing is randomised.

Support: use the contact page on the realbacktesting website.

Trading involves substantial risk of loss. This is software that applies the rules you set; it does not give investment advice and does not guarantee that a loss limit is never exceeded - prices can gap and orders can slip.
