Dynamic Lot Sizing Visualization Improvement

I am reporting an improvement based on this exact customer inquiry in Discord : ‘Hey, quick question to the backtest tool. Is it calculating with increasing lotsize? Since 1% Risk Management will mean higher lotsize with increasing balance. Didn't see it in the results or anywhere. So i was curios about

I have investigated this using an initial balance of $10,000 and 20 leverage. The system is scaling dynamically. For the exact same 2-pip move on Gold (11/06/2025 at 02:20 AM), the profit changed based on the risk setting, proving that the lot size is recalculating at the moment of entry:

  • Fixed 0.10 Lot: $2.00 Profit

  • 1% Risk: $1.60 Profit

  • 4% Risk: $5.40 Profit"

Requested Improvement "While the backend math is correct, it is difficult for users to see the lot size changes because they are not listed in the 'Trades' tab. I suggest adding a 'Lot Size' column to the Trades list so users can see the compounding effect as their balance grows."

Adding these columns as well directly to the Trades list will solve the confusion about dynamic lot sizing:

Metric

Why it help transparency

Lot Size

Proves the system is compounding and scaling based on balance.

Pip Value

Shows exactly how much 1 pip is worth for that specific trade.

Risk-Reward (R:R)

Displays the target profit vs. the potential loss for every setup.

Holding Time

Tells the user how long the trade stayed open (seconds, minutes, or hours).

Stop Loss (Price)

Clearly shows the "Main SL" level so users can verify the risk math.

also Transactions Tab (Cost Disclosure):

  • If it possble to Show a clear list of all commissions, fees, and slippage adjustments. If possible, show a clear list of all commissions, fees, and slippage adjustments.

  • Many users think their profit is lower due to a bug, when it is actually just the impact of trading costs.

Tip for Your Suggestion

When you post to the SGM site, suggest adding a "Vectored" or "Pessimistic" execution toggle in the summary. This allows users to see the "Worst Case Scenario" for their strategy, which builds massive trust in the platform's honesty.
