GuardLine Risk Suite

The GuardLine Risk Suite turns disciplined risk management into a one-glance workflow. Start with the on-chart calculator panel: it reads your account balance, converts your risk % into a dollar budget, and shows your max stop, 2R, and 3R in ticks, points, and dollars — plus a volatility-based ATR stop suggestion and a suggested contract count, each one a click to apply. A tick stepper feeds your stop distance straight into live planning lines that trail the market before you enter — then the moment you're filled with a protective stop loss order, the suite automatically switches to locked risk/reward zones drawn from your real entry and stop.

Every trade — size it first.

The calculator panel reads your balance and the chart's instrument, converts your risk % into a dollar budget, and answers the two questions that matter: how many ticks is 1R/2R/3R at this size, and how many contracts should I buy for this stop? Dock it to any corner, collapse it with the CALC button, and dial in your size any way you like — nudge it with the – / + steppers, type the contract count in directly, or snap to the suggested size with one click.

Before the trade — plan it.

Live planning lines trail the market price, showing your 1R stop above and below price, with optional 2R/3R targets. One click on the tick stepper adjusts your planning lines and your position size together. Toggle them on or off with the PLAN button; the in-trade zones always stay on for safety.

In the trade — protect it.

The instant you're filled with a stop loss order in place, the suite switches automatically from the planning lines to the risk/reward zones. Your entry, your live stop, and shaded 1R/2R/3R reward zones are locked to your initial set risk. When you trail your stop, the shaded risk area trails with it. Dollar amounts on every level; zones clear when you go flat and planning mode returns.

The zones measure R from your real stop order.

Enter with a stop loss order in place (ATM strategy stops are detected automatically) and the zones lock to it. No stop yet? The suite flags your entry line until one exists — or set a manual stop price. By design: your targets are only as real as the stop that defines them.

Indicator settings and description: planning, calculator and position options — read-only, never places orders — **What it does, in one place.** The description sums it up: size from your balance, plan while flat, lock your zones when filled — strictly read-only, never placing, modifying, or cancelling an order. Every level, color, and toggle is configurable.

Calculator panel: balance, risk budget, contracts, and 1R/2R/3R in ticks, points and dollars — **Size every trade first.** The panel reads your balance, turns your risk % into a dollar budget, and gives you contracts plus 1R/2R/3R in ticks, points, and dollars.

Planning mode showing just the live price line and 1R stop previews above and below — **Start with 1R.** Live price with your 1R stop levels previewed above and below the market, trailing in real time.

Planning mode extended to 2R and 3R target previews — **Extend to 2R and 3R.** One toggle adds your extended targets — the whole plan trails price until you enter.

In-trade zones locked to entry and stop with 1R/2R/3R reward zones and dollar labels — **Filled — locked in.** Entry, your real stop, and shaded 1R/2R/3R reward zones with live dollar amounts. Here −$500 risk lines up one-to-one with +$500 at 1R.

Zones after trailing the stop: risk shrinks while targets stay locked — **Trail the stop, keep the targets.** R locks from your initial stop, so trailing tightens risk (−$225 here) while your +$500/+$1,000/+$1,500 targets hold.
