MarketCoachPanel for MT5: Risk-control panel to improve trading discipline and sizing

This MarketCoachPanel review includes a 2026 performance analysis focused on how the utility changes trader behavior and risk outcomes. MarketCoachPanel is unique because it is explicitly a control and discipline layer rather than an expert advisor: it calculates lot sizes, displays risk metrics, and prompts the trader to confirm entries in MetaTrader 5. The author, Maria Makarchuk, designed the interface to reduce human error and make risk calculations auditable in live trading environments. The algorithm behind MarketCoachPanel is rule-based and transparent. It takes account balance or equity, a user-specified risk percentage per trade, and the distance to the stop loss in pips to return a recommended lot size. It also converts pip exposure into monetary risk and shows margin impact. MarketCoachPanel handles forex majors, crosses, and many CFDs where pip-to-currency conversion is straightforward, and it performs best in markets with defined stops and liquid spreads. Risk management is the core: MarketCoachPanel enforces maximum per-trade risk limits and offers configurable soft and hard limits to prevent oversized positions. Expected performance characteristics are not described as profit-generating but as risk-reducing: consistent lot sizing should reduce position-sizing mistakes, often lowering realized drawdowns. In real accounts using MarketCoachPanel, traders report clearer risk attribution and fewer ad-hoc overleveraged trades when combined with sound strategy rules.
