Draws your entry, stop-loss, and profit-target directly on the chart and calculates position size in real time — fixed contracts or risk-based off a dollar risk-per-trade you set, updated live as you drag the anchors.

1-day trial · Full version · No signup required
Entry, stop-loss, and profit-target anchors on the chart — range, quantity, dollar risk, estimated commission, and R:R calculated and displayed live as you drag.
Set a fixed contract count, or size off a dollar risk-per-trade — the tool works the math from your stop distance automatically.
Right-click the drawing and submit the entry — stop-loss and profit-target orders go out with it, no separate order entry.
Fills, cancels, and OCO behavior are handled automatically as the position opens and closes — nothing to babysit.
Line colors, zone fill opacity, text font, alignment, and visibility are all configurable per drawing.
Sim or live, no extra configuration required to switch between them.
Most position-size math happens off the chart — a separate calculator, a spreadsheet, or a guess. By the time you've done the math, the setup has moved.
Trade Setup Tool keeps the whole plan on the chart: drag the entry, stop, and target anchors, and the size, dollar risk, and R:R update live next to the drawing. When the setup is right, right-click and submit — the bracket order goes out with stop and target already attached and auto-managed.
Typical use: visually planning a trade before it's live, confirming size and R:R against your own risk rules, then executing without leaving the chart.

Both. It's a drawing tool by default — nothing is sent to your account until you right-click and choose "Submit Entry Order." Until then it's just a visual plan.
They're submitted alongside the entry as a bracket and managed automatically — when one side fills or is cancelled, the other is cancelled with it.
Fixed Contracts always sends the same size. Risk Based divides your risk-per-trade ($) by the stop distance to size the position for you, recalculated live as you move the stop.
Yes, it works with any connected account, Sim or live, with no additional configuration.
The trial is the full version, limited to 1 day. No signup, no email required.
