Easy Order is a bundle of scripts that lets you plan your risk in a very intuitive manner based on your charts. It was published on Forex Factory forums back in 2015 by a talented MQL coder under a nickname of sangmane. Once you’ve applied the script on a chart, you can drag and drop TP and SL lines, and reverse calculate risk by percentage from a balance or by a fixed money amount according to the execution price, regardless of how many pips the SL is.
For example, you can define your intention to risk $150 from the market price (whatever it will be at the time of execution) while SL is set to a specific price. We know as the market breathes, the amount of pips will change from the execution entry price to SL level. Once you decide to execute, the script will calculate what should be the lot size that will determine a value of $150 from market execution price to the predefined Stop Loss order.
You set the SL and TP level via dragging and dropping lines on the chart. This tool is extremely intuitive and visual way to handle your trade while knowing the script will do the math for you as accurately as it can get.
You can set the script to prioritize by percentage from current balance, or by a fixed monetary value.
In 2015 this tool was revolutionary for MetaTrader 4 users. Only a few years later, by a fashionable delay Metaquotes made an effort and had presented visual drag and drop positions management tools. Yet, Easy Order still has a huge advantage for its agility for seamlessly risk calculating.

Hello, very nice EAs for risk management.
I started using MT5 few days ago (unexpectedly 🙂 and I still didn’t found some good similar tools for MT5.
Can you help? Maybe ask the5ers what tools are they using? And maybe post another article? (please please please :))))
Best regards,
