Set account guardrails, money at risk, stop distance, suggested lot size, reward-to-risk and a daily loss limit.
Plan the risk before MT5 takes the trade.
A practical Excel cockpit for position sizing, portfolio exposure and pre-activation checks. No payment and no membership required.
Four controls. One calmer decision process.
The workbook does not choose trades or promise outcomes. It gives you a repeatable way to define risk before automated trading begins.
Compare up to five strategies by allocation, trading style, simultaneous-trade assumptions and planned risk contribution.
Build reusable trade rows and calculate a suggested position size only after the symbol and stop distance are entered.
Confirm the MT5 account, broker symbol, Algo Trading status, exposure, event risk, connection and emergency-pause plan.
Use it before you switch Algo Trading on.
The sequence is deliberately short: define the limit, see the combined exposure, then complete the MT5 pre-flight.
Decide the maximum trade risk, daily loss and emergency-stop level first.
Check how several strategies can contribute risk at the same time.
Confirm the account, symbol, connection and pause procedure before activation.
