Features
Everything happens where you trade: draw the stop, read the size, send the order. The indicator does the maths and enforces the rules you set when you were calm.
Risk a fixed amount or a percentage of your balance. Size = risk ÷ (stop distance in ticks × tick value), always rounded down to the lot step — you never risk more than your setting.
Capped by the symbol's maximum lot and your optional Max Contracts per Order.
Shift + click places the stop line, snapped to the tick size. Stop below price means BUY, above means SELL — the direction is automatic.
The label shows price, distance in points and money at risk. If price crosses the line, the direction flips.
If even one contract would risk more than your setting, everything turns amber and shows how far over you are — e.g. $450 > $300 (+50%).
The order is refused until you move the stop closer or raise your risk.
The BUY/SELL button sends a market order with the stop loss attached at your broker — a real order, not a line on your screen.
Optional take profit at your Risk:Reward ratio (default 2.0). Stops are placed as a tick distance from the fill, so the money at risk stays the same.
The first click arms the order; the second click within 3 seconds sends it. Moving the stop or a direction flip disarms it.
Double-click protection ignores extra clicks for 1 second. Optional Ctrl + click shortcut (off by default).
Account, trading status (locked or active), risk, stop distance, size and money at risk — at a glance.
Put it in any corner with pixel offsets, and pick your stop/take-profit line colours and button height.
Included with your license: QT Risk Guard is a Quantower plugin — a panel like DOM or Order Entry — that watches all your accounts and locks them when a rule is broken.
When a limit is hit the account is locked by Quantower itself: no new orders from the chart, the DOM, Order Entry or any other tool, and open positions are closed.
The lock survives a restart and is put back if removed. Closing a position always works.
Per account: maximum daily loss and profit target on closed and open P&L, and a prop-firm style trailing drawdown from the equity peak.
Custom formulas for P&L, drawdown and trailing balance, with the values your connection reports.
Stop after N trades a day, and cap the contracts per position: oversized orders are cancelled.
Copy trading: followers count their leader's trades, so copies are not counted twice.
Lock outside your trading window, flatten every day at a set time, and reset at the hour your market's day starts (22:00 UTC for CME futures).
Restarting Quantower never resets your limits: the session's trades are reloaded.
Day P&L, drawdown, trades and status of all accounts, grouped by firm or type with totals. One-click Flatten all, Lock all and timed locks.
Save a risk profile as a template and apply it to twenty accounts at once.
Each license activates on its own PC, identified by the Windows installation — switching Wi-Fi or VPN doesn't use a new activation.

How it works
Copy the indicator and the QT Risk Guard plugin into Quantower, add QT Risk Manager to a chart and paste your license key once.
Pick a fixed amount or a % of balance per trade in the indicator, and your daily limits per account in QT Risk Guard.
The panel instantly shows the direction, the size and the exact money at risk.
Click BUY/SELL, then again within 3 seconds. The market order goes out with your stop already at the broker.
Discipline, enforced
The most expensive trade is the one you take to win back a loss. Set your limits once — QT Risk Manager holds the line when you can't.
Locked and flat — QT Risk Guard cancels all working orders, closes all positions and locks the account in Quantower until the next session.
Open P&L counts — a losing position that hits your limit triggers the block before it's closed.
Protect good days too — a daily win target locks in profits instead of giving them back.
No way around it — no "restart to reset", and during the session a limit can only be made stricter: raising it applies from the next session.

QT Risk Manager is an indicator for the Quantower platform on Windows (Quantower 1.146 or later). It works with any Quantower connection that provides the tick value of the symbol — that's what position sizing is based on. If a connection doesn't provide it, the panel tells you ("Tick value not available for symbol") and no size is calculated.
Yes. Every order is a market order with the stop loss (and the take profit, if enabled) attached at your broker. The stop is set as a distance in ticks from the fill price, so if the fill slips the money at risk stays the same — the stop price may just differ slightly from the line you drew. Like any stop order, it can slip in fast markets.
Size = risk amount ÷ (stop distance in ticks × value of one tick). The risk amount is your fixed amount, or your percentage × account balance. The result is always rounded down to the symbol's lot step and capped by its maximum lot and your Max Contracts per Order. The "Risk" you see is the real amount after rounding, so it's usually a little below your setting. If even the minimum size would risk too much, you get the amber "Out of Risk" warning and the order is refused.
QT Risk Guard, the risk plugin included with your license, locks the account in Quantower: orders are refused from every panel (chart, DOM, Order Entry), all working orders are cancelled and all positions closed, and any position opened later is closed at once. The lock stays until the next session starts. During the session a limit can only be made stricter, so it cannot be raised to keep trading.
No. The lock is kept by Quantower itself, and when QT Risk Guard starts it reloads the trades already made in the current session, so your daily P&L and any lock are restored. The session resets only at the hour you configured.
Each license is activated per PC, up to the number of PCs included in your plan (beta licenses work on 1 PC). The PC is identified by its Windows installation, so changing network or VPN doesn't matter. To move to a new computer, release the old one yourself from the customer area — this is free and can be done up to 2 times every 30 days.
The panel shows "Beta ended - subscribe to continue" and sending orders is disabled. To continue, subscribe using your beta key and the same email it was sent to: you keep the same key, so nothing changes in Quantower. The change is picked up at the next license check (within 24 hours).
EU consumers have a 14-day right of withdrawal, which for digital content ends once you expressly agree to immediate access at checkout. You can cancel your subscription at any time from the billing portal: it simply won't renew. Full details are in our refund policy.
The indicator runs locally in Quantower: your orders go directly from Quantower to your broker. The license check sends only your license key, a hashed identifier of your PC and the indicator version — never your positions, trades or broker credentials. Payments are handled by Stripe; we never see your card details. The website uses no tracking cookies. See the privacy policy.
A Windows PC with a current version of Quantower and a broker connection. An internet connection is needed for the license check: the result is cached for 24 hours, and if our server can't be reached the last valid check is accepted for up to 48 hours.
No. It's an additional layer of discipline on your side. Daily limits are tracked per account from what Quantower reports while it is running, so always keep your broker's or prop firm's own limits in mind and set yours inside them.
Position sizing from your stop, real broker-side stops and daily limits that actually stop you.
