You know your stop.
Now see what it costs – live, on the chart, before you enter.
One oversized trade ends a funded account. Most platforms don’t show you the dollar risk until after you’re in. Edge Pad shows it before — “$206 risk · 2 contracts · 1:2 R:R” appears on the chart as you drag your stop. The math is done before you decide. Connect multiple Tradovate accounts in seconds — switch between them instantly. No new KYC. No new broker. Just trade.
"Risk tools that give retail traders the same edge prop firms have been keeping to themselves."
— Amir, Futures Trader
Got the setup.
Got the stop.
What are you actually risking?
Here's the part every platform skips. You've got the setup dialed in. You've got your stop. What you don't have — right there on screen, before you click — is the actual dollar figure. What does this trade cost if price hits your stop? That number isn't there. So you run the math yourself, fast, while the setup is already forming.
-
Every trader has their version of this — quick mental math, phone calculator, number scratched on a sticky. You get close enough and you enter. Most of the time it works out. That's kind of the problem.
-
On a funded account, close enough doesn't cut it. Prop firms don't grade on a curve — you're either inside your drawdown limit or you're not. Two contracts too heavy on a good trade, and $3,000 in drawdown is gone before your stop fires. Right idea. Wrong size.
-
Retail traders feel it differently — as a margin call on a thesis that was correct. Same gut punch, different name. It's not bad trades that get you. It's good trades, sized wrong, because the right number was never in front of you when it mattered.

Place your stop on the chart. Your dollar risk, contract count, and R:R are calculated instantly — right there, before you confirm anything. Set risk by percentage of account, a fixed dollar amount, or contracts. The number's just there.
Grab your entry, stop, or take profit line and drag it. Dollar P&L, tick count, and R:R update in real time as you move. You're adjusting the trade visually while you're still deciding — not redoing the math every time you think about moving a level.
Set your entry, stop, and take profit before you click. The second your entry fills, both go in automatically — no delay, no manual placement. You're never sitting in a trade rushing to get your stop in while price is moving. Supports multiple partial take profits if you want to scale out as it goes your way.
Trade's moving your way. One click moves your stop to your entry price — now you can't lose on this trade. No digging into order entry, no recalculating the stop price. It's right there on the chart. Lock in the free trade, stay in the position, and let it run. Most platforms make you do this manually. Edge Pad makes it one click.
Jump from ES to NQ — or any other contract — and Edge Pad recalculates your position size automatically based on the new tick value. Your risk settings stay exactly where you set them. The math just follows the instrument.
Three ways to size
Risk your way.
Not everyone thinks about risk the same way. Pick the mode that fits you. Switch anytime.
Your plan says 1% max risk. Drop your stop where the chart says it goes — Edge Pad works out the contracts. You can't trade fractions, so it gets you as close to 1% as the contract allows, then shows you the real number before you confirm. Set it once, trade it every time.
You know your max — $250, $500. That's the number. Put it in, set your stop, Edge Pad figures out the contracts. You can't trade half a contract, so the nearest contract lands you at $225 or $275 — Edge Pad shows you exactly which before you confirm.
You already know you're trading 2 contracts — maybe that's your prop firm rule, maybe that's your plan. Move your stop and Edge Pad shows you exactly what that costs if it gets hit. Real dollars, live, before you confirm. You control the size. Edge Pad just makes sure you know the number.
The math is done
before you decide.
Drag your entry, stop, and target on the chart. Move any line and the dollar risk, tick count, and R:R update instantly.
Contracts, max loss, max profit, R:R — all live, all at once, before you touch the order button. No other web platform does this.

We built the tool
we couldn't find anywhere else.
Every major dev shop we talked to quoted us 18 months. We built a working prototype in two weeks. Not because we're better developers — because we already knew exactly what to build.
Three traders, 17 years of combined experience. Missed stops, oversized trades, clunky order entry — we've been there. Every feature exists because one of us hit that wall first.
"I got into futures and immediately felt the gap. The math, the missed stops, the clunky brackets. Nobody was fixing it for retail traders. So we did. This is the platform I trade from."
From alpha testers
What traders are saying
I love the edge pad! For me it is very user friendly to use and I really like the TP & SL features. I also enjoy being able to see key data like my R:R before placing my trades as well. Executions are flawless. Definitely one of the best platforms to use for my trading.
EdgePad isn't just a visual upgrade — it actually improves how you trade. Trade management is where it really stands out: more control, more flexibility, and the ability to manage multiple prop firm accounts from one place. That's where Edge Pad separates itself.
The risk tools in the Edge Pad give retail traders the same edge prop firms have been keeping to themselves. That changes everything.
