fair questions,
“Is the size actually right for my risk?”
Sizes come in steps: 0.01 lot on MetaTrader, whole contracts on NinjaTrader 8. If even the smallest size would risk more than you set, SizeOps says “risk too low” instead of rounding up.
“What about gold, indices and odd contract sizes?”
Gold, indices and every forex pair size right on your own account, from your broker's own value per point. Futures in contracts on NinjaTrader 8, minis and micros.
“Is it fast enough when price is moving?”
Click EXECUTE and the entry, stop and target go in together, market or limit. A trade manager and trade assistant in one: nothing to type in the order window.
“Can I plan my exits before I'm in?”
Set up to 5 partial close levels before you enter, and move them after. Each shows what it closes, pays and leaves running.
“Will it stop me blowing my day?”
Your safety net for bad days, built in, once you set one. SizeOps checks each new trade before it's sent, cancels its own waiting orders that no longer fit, and never closes a running trade unless you turn on “At the limit: also close open trades”. Every trade on the account counts, manual ones too. How much room is left today? Drawdown calculator
“Will it mess with my manual trades or other EAs?”
Your manual trades and other EAs stay yours. On MetaTrader 5 netting it won't trade a symbol holding a position it didn't open.
“Why not just use my platform's own tools?”
MetaTrader's one-click sends the lot you typed; a NinjaTrader ATM strategy trades the quantity you set. Neither sizes from your risk and your stop, and neither counts your commission. Trade the same size every time? Keep the built-in tool. Honestly.
“Does it fit how I use NinjaTrader?”
Works with Chart Trader too: rather use it? SizeOps fills its quantity box instead. Your choice.
your platform,
Everything above, on yours. Pick it:
Position sizing for forex, gold and indices. Drag the stop and the lot size follows, rounded down to 0.01 lot; one click sends the trade with its stop and target.
A risk calculator on your chart: drag the stop and the lot size updates live. Risk a percent of your balance or equity, or a dollar amount.
Auto breakeven where you want it: drag the BE line and switch it on. When price gets there, your stop moves to entry plus costs.
Adding to a position? Each trade keeps its own lines (hedging accounts). Move BE or take partials on one trade, or on all of them.
One-Click Trading is free, built into MetaTrader and fast: one click sends the lot you typed. Trade the same lot every time? It's enough. SizeOps works the lot out from your risk and your stop, commission included, and keeps managing the trade.

Installs as an indicator on your chart. For futures traders: drag the stop and the contracts follow, in whole contracts, rounded down. SizeOps floats on your chart, and the stop, target and partials go in with the trade.
Set up to 5 partials before you enter. Once filled they go in as real orders, with at least 1 contract left for your target. Then switch on a BE line.
Capped to your free margin, NinjaTrader's position limit and your own max per trade; the size turns amber before you click.
An ATM strategy is free and built into NinjaTrader: stop and targets with the entry, several targets, breakeven on its own. Trade the same quantity every time? It's all you need. SizeOps works the contracts out from your risk and your stop, commission included.

NinjaTrader's help: ATM Strategy Parameters · Auto Breakeven · Chart Trader: Modifying and Cancelling Orders · Accounts Tab.
A position size calculator, trade manager and daily loss limit inside your platform. Your broker's commission is counted in everywhere: the size, the target and every dollar figure on your chart.

Any account your platform connects to. PC or laptop: if your platform runs there, SizeOps runs there too. Not on phone apps or web terminals. They can't run SizeOps.
Add accounts any time, up to 5 on one key, on any platform, each with the full SizeOps. Each extra one is $6 a month.
Switch it in on your Licenses page. The old account keeps working until the new one connects. +1 switch a week, saved up to one per account on your plan.
Commission chips away at every target, so SizeOps builds it in: from your platform, your last trades, or what you type.
Try it free for 7 days on your own account. No card, nothing to cancel. Each platform gets its own trial: MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and NinjaTrader 8. Questions after your trial? Book a 15-minute call and we'll go through it on your chart.

Bad day?
SizeOps stops new trades at your daily limit, once you set one. Its own waiting orders that don't fit any more get cancelled.
Sizing one by hand? Free tools, no sign-up.
close the charts. go for a walk. come back tomorrow.
Divide your risk in money by what 1 lot loses at your stop (stop distance × value per point, plus commission) and round down. MetaTrader 5 won't do it for you; with SizeOps you drag the stop line and the lot size is ready. Try the position size calculator →
With SizeOps it goes in with the entry: drag the stop line and click EXECUTE. Without it, you type the stop in the order window or drag it on after the fill.
No. SizeOps floats on your chart, so Chart Trader can stay closed. Like Chart Trader? Set Panel location to Chart Trader and SizeOps fills in its quantity there.
An ATM strategy places your stop and targets with the entry and can move the stop to breakeven. If you always trade the same quantity, that's all you need. SizeOps works the contracts out from your risk and your stop on every trade, commission included, and checks your daily loss limit before each one. See the comparison →
Nope. No signals, no advice, no auto-trading. You decide every trade, and nothing happens until you click. SizeOps sizes it, then manages it the way you set it up.
No. It only manages the trades it opened, on the chart's symbol. Your manual trades and trades from other tools stay yours.
Yes, it can happen, and we'd rather tell you now. SizeOps sizes your position so the planned loss at your stop doesn't exceed the risk you set. Your actual loss can still be larger: spread widening, slippage, price gaps (news, weekends), commissions and swaps, delayed or rejected orders, and platform or connection problems can all make it impossible to exit at your stop.
It sends a trade in one click at the lot you typed. If you always trade the same lot size, that's all you need. SizeOps works the lot out from your risk and your stop on every trade, commission included, and sends the stop loss and take profit with the entry. It also plans partials and breakeven and checks your daily loss limit. See the comparison →
