VIGIL
Head of Risk
What it does
Sizes a position from your risk and stop distance, checks your size and loss rules against today's fills, and measures the day against your daily loss limit. Session R, when you switch it on, sets your risk per trade, a daily and weekly limit in R, and cuts your size after a run of losses.
Where you find it
Open the widget from the desk mark on any signed-in page, or dock it on the terminal from the + menu, where the calculator follows the chart's market. The full set is on VIGIL's page.

How to use
Write a max daily loss rule in currency on the Rules page
Open the calculator on VIGIL's page or in the terminal
Enter your account size, risk % and stop
Read the position size, the amount at risk and the margin it ties up
Log each result on the tilt tracker, or switch on Session R
Quick example
Say your rule is 1% risk per trade on a $10,000 account, and your stop sits 2% from entry
The calculator shows a $5,000 position risking $100, and the margin it ties up at your leverage
Limits
- A daily loss limit set as a percentage cannot be checked, because EdgeVault cannot read your account equity. Set it in currency.
- The tilt tracker counts the results you log. The deviation bars and game state read your fills.
- Session R figures are kept in this browser and reset each trading day. Your limits are saved to your account.
- Calculator figures are estimates. The page shows no liquidation price, because it has no venue margin rate to work from.
