IMPORTANT STEP
Step 10 - The Process when using Risk Calculator
Drag in the Risk Calculator fresh every time you
load your charts.
Close Risk Calculator before closing MT4
DO NOT attach the Risk Calculator to the chart
template - It needs to be freshly added to the charts
every time.
As Risk Calculator is using live data e.g your
account balance / live fx figures it needs a fresh data
feed on startup.
The process is:
Open MT4/5 > Open the charts > Drag in Risk
Calculator. Once finished trading close the Risk
Calculator off the charts > Close MT4.
