The red confirmation card : Buy 0.01 lots, XAUUSD limit, true risk 1.70% against a 1.00% target , the minimum lot forces 1.70%.

If it can't give you your 1%, it tells you. In red.

Every trade gets one confirmation window : direction, size, true risk , only what you need to click fast. And when the minimum lot forces your risk past what you typed, it turns red and shows the real number. It warns you. It never blocks your trade.

Built after a gold trade where my typed 1% became 3% through the minimum lot. Never again.Clément · founder of EdgeFound
