Scalping with quick SL measurement to calculate lot size?

Quoting profitkeeper
They were both bought from "Market" - neither were expensive. Names are: Virtual Trade Pad (Has won awards and is very good) It can also set a grid and close trades at total profit etc. Lot Calculator Tool (Is also an EA and can be used in strategy tester) It can also set multiple profit targets.
both of these 2 EAs are easily available for free in Forexfactory,plesae invest some time in researching,write it in search box,i saw them in recent past.

{quote} Yes, apologies. I thought my initial post was enough information. If you find it, please let me know.
No need to apologies :-)
what about this one? not 100% perfect but with a little math a fast calculation. Maybe you put in 1 pip, 2 pip 5pip and so on, max inserts are 10 positions. If you need the lotsize for 4 pip you calculate 5-1, thatīs it. Of cours you have to measure before with the crosshair or use grids.

Itīs not the one i had in mind but maybe a little helper :-)

Hi RaysJourney, I also like to trade on TFs as small as 1 and 5 minutes and I have the same problem. Did you find an EA to help you get the SL faster?
I was just looking for something like this, all the files are much appreciated. Now to see if I can find something like this for ctrader too

how do you enter the market? one klick trading or pending order? maybe this tools will help {file}{file}
I finally got around to looking at it but I'm experiencing problems setting the risk %, it doesn't seem to change if I try to set it below 1%. If anyone else is familiar with this can they also share some insight please, I'm not aware if this tool has been discussed in other threads but I'll have a look around in the meantime.

It may be a basic indicator but ATR based stop loss has always worked alright for me. Typically use Price +/- ATR * 3/5
