The risk button is TradeLocker’s Risk management calculator. It helps you size a trade based on a specific amount or percentage you’re willing to risk if your stop loss is hit.
Instead of manually guessing a lot size, you set your trade (buy/sell), place your stop loss where you want it on the chart, then enter the risk value you want to use. When Risk is enabled, the platform recalculates the position size so the potential loss at the stop loss matches your chosen risk.
That’s why values “move” when you adjust something. If you drag the stop loss farther away, the calculator will usually reduce the lot size to keep the risk the same.
If you drag the stop loss closer, it can increase the lot size. And if you change the risk amount, it will update the lot size again so the trade still aligns with that target. This is intended behavior to keep risk consistent and predictable.
This is how to place your Stop Loss and Take Profit directly on the chart. First, select the instrument and set your position size in the order panel. Then click the “+” button on the right side of the chart (next to the price scale) and choose SL or TP. A line will appear on the chart—drag it to the exact price level you want. Once your levels are set, place the trade by clicking Buy or Sell. If you need to adjust SL/TP later, open your Positions panel, select the trade, edit it, and move the SL/TP lines to the new levels.
