Interactive Visual Execution, Instant Lot Sizing & Built-in Prop Firm Protection

Execution speed and mathematical precision make or break intraday traders. Scalp Risk Manager transforms the native cTrader trading experience into a visual, low-latency execution workstation designed specifically for scalpers, day traders, and prop firm funded accounts.

Say goodbye to manual lot size calculators and delayed entries. Directly embedded into your Active Symbol Panel (ASP), this plugin lets you place orders, adjust risks, and plan setups straight from the chart using interactive lines while actively monitoring your risk metrics to help protect your balance.

Key Features

1. Interactive 3-Line Visual Trading (Entry, SL, TP)

• Real-Time On-Chart Control: Move your Stop Loss and Take Profit levels directly on the chart using interactive lines.
• Auto-Recalculating Lot Size: Dragging your Stop Loss instantly updates the exact position size in lots, strictly adhering to your predefined risk settings.
• Smart Market Order Tracking: In Market execution mode, the Entry line tracks Bid/Ask live. If volatility shifts before entry, your volume recalculates dynamically to help keep your loss within your set risk.
• Supported Order Types: Full execution support for Market, Limit, Stop, and Stop Limit orders.

2. Precise Risk Allocation (Balance-Based)

• Percentage or Fixed Cash: Set your risk as a percentage of your realized Balance (% Net Capital, excluding open floating equity) or enter a fixed monetary risk amount.
• Zero Math Under Pressure: Enter trades during fast-moving market opens (London/NY) knowing your risk parameters are calculated down to the decimal point in milliseconds.

3. Dynamic R:R Locking Mechanism

• Fixed R:R Lock: Lock your Risk-to-Reward ratio (e.g., 1:2.0 or 1:3.0). As you drag your Stop Loss or as the market price moves, the Take Profit line adjusts itself automatically to maintain your target ratio.
• Free Discretionary Mode: Unlock the R:R feature to anchor your Take Profit to liquidity pools, swing highs, or key support/resistance levels. The panel automatically tracks and displays your live R:R readout.

4. Built-in Prop Firm Risk Guard (FTMO, FundedNext, etc.)

Designed to help you stay within your daily and maximum drawdown limits:

• Real-Time Floating & Balance Tracking: Automatically monitors your starting equity, closed balance, and live unrealized PnL.
• Pre-Trade SL Impact Projection: Calculates your potential drawdown before you execute. If your pending Stop Loss would push your account past daily or overall drawdown rules, you receive an immediate alert.
• Traffic Light Warning System:
• • 🟢 Green: Trade is aligned with your defined drawdown limits.
  • 🟠 Orange: Caution zone (SL execution would approach drawdown thresholds).
  • 🔴 Red: Max Daily or Total Drawdown threshold reached.
• Optional Button Lock: Choose whether you want the plugin to physically lock the execution button during alert states or simply act as a visual advisory guard.

5. Native ASP Integration & Multi-Asset Agnostic

• Zero Screen Clutter: Injects directly into cTrader's native Active Symbol Panel on the right side of the screen.
• Instant Asset & Timeframe Sync: Switch between Forex pairs, Indices, Commodities, or Crypto across any timeframe (including tick charts). The plugin detects the active chart, rebinds spreads, pip values, and price decimals, and centers your trading lines automatically.

Technical Specifications

• Platform Compatibility: cTrader Windows (Version 4.8 or higher)
• API Framework: cTrader.Automate (cAlgo.API.Plugins)
• Execution Latency: Optimized UI updates (under 200ms refresh cycles)
• Supported Assets: FX pairs, Metals, Indices, Energies, Cryptocurrencies

Why Scalp Risk Manager?

• Preserve Prop Capital: Prop firm rules are unforgiving. Pre-trade SL projection helps prevent oversized positions during volatile spread expansions.
• Execute Faster: Eliminates the latency of switching between external web calculators and the trading terminal.
• Trade with Mechanical Discipline: Focus on market structure, setups, and execution while the plugin systematically calculates your risk parameters.
