My broker have commission (7 usd for 1 lot). Can u add commisson in your indicator ?
EX: I set reward/risk: 1.5, but actually + commisson : about 1.3.
Every trade i must + commisson in to stoploss and - commission in to take profit to become reward/risk=1.5.
Sorry my English bad!!!
Version 1.19 now supports commission setting.

It'd better to keep this calculator in separate window as adding some technical templates will leave a tiny space for chart, I guess. But anyway, good MM stuff can help to stick to your risk settings quite efficiently :)

As I have said, you can now use it in a separate or in a main - as you wish.

What about adding more customisation options to make it even more compact, require less screen space and free more up for the actual price action?

Like being able to turn the display of account balance on and off etc?.
(This information I find in a toggled terminal window with the rest of my open and closed position management info).

That's great, thank you.

Well....The margin and portfolio modules can be toggled on and off so that's great too depending on who needs what information to be displayed. And take profit and risk/reward doesn't display unless a TP value is entered/detected so again, all good.

How about... if 'risk money' is used, hide 'risk %', and if 'risk %' is used hide 'risk money'?.

Other than that everything else seems to be essential key information.

Here is a screen shot of my trading/charting environment.

It's a modified/simplified 1.12 PSC combined with a spread indicator.

But I love the input/actual addition found in the new versions of the PSC.

Do you want the Entry line to follow the Bid/Ask price, while both Stop-Loss and Take-Profit lines trail the Entry line at some fixed distance, so that RR remains fixed? Is that right? If yes, how do you plan to set that initial distance for SL and TP?

What I take away from his post is the following:

* When entering a trade he sets the stop-loss and entry values to a certain fixed price, set at his discretion, however he is constructing the trade.

* But since he takes profit when he sees best to do so, he doesn't set a pre-determined take profit value and doesn't have a set R:R/TP target known at the time of entry.

* Then once entered into a trade, he wants the take profit value to then be set to, and move with the current bid/ask price and constantly re-calculate a new R:R value based on the distance between his original entry/stop loss values to how far the market has currently moved.

* For example - If the distance between his pre-determined SL and entry price is 300 pips and the market has moved 900 pips in his favour from the entry price, the R:R output then shows him that his trade is currently at about 1:3 R:R ratio or 3x Risk (3R) multiple in profit.

Like a continually updating, dynamic R:R calculator.
Or that is how I initially understand it anyway.

Take-profit is a limit order, shouldn't be any slippage on it.

So, is Andy right on the interpretation of what you need? I cannot help you if I do not understand what you really need implemented.
