Marcel's Dynamic Profit / Loss Calculator for Gold

Overview

This Dynamic Risk / Reward Tool for Gold is designed to help traders efficiently plan and manage their trades in the volatile gold market. This script provides a clear visualisation of trade levels (Entry, Stop Loss, Take Profit) while dynamically calculating potential profit and loss. It ensures gold traders can assess their positions with precision, saving time and improving risk management.

Key Features

1. Trade Level Visualisation:

• Plots Entry (Blue), Stop Loss (Red), and Take Profit (Green) lines directly on the chart.
  
• Helps you visualise and confirm trade setups quickly which is good for scalping and day trades.
  

2. Dynamic Risk and Reward Calculations:

• Calculates potential profit and loss in real time based on user-defined inputs such as position size, leverage, and account equity.
  
• Displays a summary panel showing risk/reward metrics directly on the chart.
  

3. Customisable Settings:

• Allows you to adjust key parameters like account equity, position size, leverage, and specific price levels for Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit.
  
• Defaults are dynamically generated for convenience but remain fully adjustable for flexibility.
  

How It Works

• The script uses gold-specific conventions (e.g., 1 lot = 100 ounces, 1 pip = 0.01 price change) to calculate accurate risk and reward metrics.
  
• It dynamically positions Stop Loss and Take Profit levels relative to the entry price, based on user-defined or default offsets.
  
• A real-time summary panel is displayed in the bottom-right corner of the chart, showing:
  
• Potential Profit: The monetary value if the Take Profit is hit.
  
• Potential Lo
  

ss: The monetary value if the Stop Loss is hit.

1. Add the script to your chart on a gold trading pair (e.g., XAUUSD).
2. Input your:

• Account equity.
  
• Leverage.
  
• Position size (in lots).

try Price (default: current close price).
3. Adjust the Stop Loss and Take Profit levels to your strategy, or let the script use default offsets of:

• 500 pips below the Entry for Stop Loss.
  
• 1000 pips above the Entry for Take Profit.
  

4. Review the plotted levels and the summary panel to confirm your trade aligns with your risk/reward goals.
