I would like to see a calculator so traders can manage risk to reward for the number of contracts... Example: a forex trader can go to a pip calculator to calculate the number of pips vs the lot size.
Risk management calculator is needed like tradingview
there needs to be a position risk size calculator inside of topstepX, like tradingview has. If you want people to use the platform long term, please add this. otherwise we are just guessing our risk in each trade before we enter. It has been mentioned here in feedback numerous times without a solution.
I would like to see this future as many other platforms does this is crucial to have a great and a complete platform for traders were we could adjust the size place our SL and TP and max out as many cons as possible to our defined cash risk
Getting a risk calculator like tradingview to where when you want to put the amount you want to risk per trade and the platform calculate automatically to how many contracts to place in real time in either market, limit, or stop order
Measure tool; include contract value in measuring tool
Please include value of the measured move in measuring tool results, besides point and tick size of the move. Will help assist in determining potential profit or loss for move per contract, or determining lot size for a trade:

In scalping, it would be difficult to take time to calculate the pips, lot, contract etc. If you can add this feature that will calculate automatically when setting the long and short position like tradovate etc.
Thank you

I used before an EA on MT5 which managed the trade. I placed the long or short position, the RR was already set to the value I wanted. The risk in % or risk equity was already set.
I just had to move the SL , the TP would have maintained the RR and the lot was calculated automatically. Very usefull for the scalping trade mode. I hope Topstep's Team will develop a similar add on.
Provide base info for all instruments: Dollar value/point and tick, ticks/pt, contract months, etc.
It would be helpful in choosing lot sizing when trading a new instrument if somewhere on the platform we could quickly look up the dollar per point value of all the instruments, as well as the tick divisions (and margin requirements. Although this doesn’t come into play, it’s still good education for serious traders.) Being able to look up contract change months info on the same chart would also be helpful. No need to explain the usefulness of such a chart. Seems all the good traders use this info, but are getting it some other way.

Consistency Calculator
Can you add the Consistency Calculator to the Performance Page or somewhere on the platform, as opposed to it being a downloadable excel sheet?

For example:
NQ - $20/point - 4 ticks/point - $5/tick - Contract Months HMUZ
ES - $50/point - 4 ticks/point - $12.50/tick……….
GC - $100/point - 10 ticks/point - $10/tick…….
