Description:
Risk Contract Table by Soothing Trades
This script provides an intuitive table that displays the calculated risk in dollars for various contract sizes based on the size of the last closed candle.
It is designed to help traders quickly assess their risk exposure based on the most recent price movement.

Key Features:
Automatic and Manual Tick Value Calculation: Automatically fetches the tick value for your instrument.
You can also override it with a manual input using a convenient checkbox.
Customizable Contract Sizes: Easily input your preferred contract sizes.
The script dynamically adjusts the table headers and risk calculations based on your inputs.
Real-Time Updates:
The table updates with each new candle close, ensuring that your risk calculations are always based on the latest candle size.
User-Friendly Display: The table is displayed directly on your chart with customizable colors for both text and background, making it easy to match your chart’s theme.
How to Use:
Tick Value: By default, the script uses the automatic tick value.
To manually set the tick value, check the "Use Manual Tick Value" box and enter your desired value.
Contract Sizes: You can input the number of contracts for each category (5ct, 10ct, 15ct, 17ct). The script calculates and displays the risk for each contract size based on the tick movement of the last closed candle only.
Real-Time Calculations: Risk calculations are updated only after the candle is closed, so there are no misleading values during live market activity.
Customization Options:
Manual Tick Value Override: Use a custom tick value by enabling the "Use Manual Tick Value" option.
Custom Contract Sizes: Input your desired contract sizes, and the table headers and risk calculations will update accordingly.
Color Customization: Customize the text and background colors to fit your chart’s aesthetic.
How It Works:
The script calculates the tick movement from the last closed candle and multiplies it by the specified tick value and the number of contracts.
You can choose to use the default automatic tick value or manually input your own.
A table appears on the chart showing the risk for different contract sizes based solely on the size of the last candle, providing a quick snapshot of potential exposure from the most recent price movement.
This script is ideal for traders who want to keep a quick and accurate overview of their potential risk exposure based on the size of the most recent price action.
Whether you are scalping, day trading, or holding positions overnight, this tool by Soothing Trades will help you stay informed and make better trading decisions.

Happy Trading!
