Please let us make the default levels or make them normal defaults. 25% risk is not normal to trade…The Risk to Reward should always open as 1:1. I am sharing a video with you.
Hi @Tradermoe1023 , thanks for the feedback and for sharing the video.
Regarding the risk level, if you change the risk value to 1% in the RRTool settings just once, does the next one you place on the chart appear with 1% risk, or does it revert back to 25%?
For your second point, are you saying that the order icons are not being displayed on the chart after you place them? Thank you.

If I change it, then yes. I do not understand why you guys are so fixated on 25% risk, when in reality that would be considered extremely irresponsible trading. In addition to that, the odds are that we would even be able to trade is slim. If you guys want to be the best, then get as close to reality as you can. It is annoying to have to go in every single time I have to start a new project and change the unrealistic 25% to 1%. There are enough bugs that we have to deal with that makes it very hard to use and test this program for you. I can’t practice trading with it right now because you guys have the forex times wrong. The 4 hour time frame should be 1am, 5am, 9am, etc. You guys have it at 12am, 4am, and 8am.
For the second point, If you watch the video you will see there is not a default for them like on Tradingview. The default should be 1:1, but right now it comes out whatever size it comes out, then I have to shrink it down. It just gets annoying. I don’t understand why you guys don’t have realistic defaults.
You guys want our opinions, then pretty much ignore it and do what you want anyways. People like us are the ones that would be paying you to use your site. Fxreplay has been in business for years now. You have to be better than that to catch up if you want FTO to be successful. I have asked for many basic things to be fixed, so I would be able to use them and it seems like I am being ignored. I have been making trading videos and talking about you guys a little, but I am just to the point that you are going to do what you want and don’t really care what we want. I am getting to the point that it just seems like there isn’t a point in saying anything anymore…. If you want to be successful, then make this as close to reality as possible and don’t have things like an unrealistic 25%. Go ask any successful trader how many times they have used 25% for their risk.

Dear @Tradermoe1023 ,
Thank you for taking the time to share your honest and detailed feedback — we truly appreciate it. We’re sorry to hear about your frustration, and we want to assure you that we’re listening closely and actively working to improve FTO based on feedback like yours.
✅ Regarding the 25% default risk:
You’re absolutely right — a 25% risk per trade is not a realistic default for most traders. We’ve already reminded our team to change the default risk setting to 1% for the risk/reward tool.
🔍 About the oversized risk/reward tool:
We understand how frustrating it can be to manually adjust the tool every time. Our team will investigate why the default size appears stretched and whether we can apply a smarter or more realistic default (e.g., 1:1) similar to what you’re used to in TradingView.
🕓 4-Hour candle timing:
You’re absolutely right again — the expected 4-hour candles should start at 01:00, 05:00, 09:00, etc. Our developers are currently working on this issue. In the meantime, we recommend trying the following workaround:
Create a new project in UTC-4 time zone without DST. This may help align your 4H candles with the standard time intervals you're expecting.
We understand that it’s frustrating when things don’t behave the way they should — especially when your goal is to practice realistically and efficiently. Your feedback has already helped us pinpoint specific areas for improvement, and we hope you’ll continue to share your thoughts with us.
Thank you again for sticking with us and for making videos about FTO — it truly means a lot.
If there’s anything else you’d like to see or if you notice any changes after trying UTC-4 time zone without DST option, please let us know.

Thank you. I will say one thing that is becoming very popular is Goldbach. Here is someone that talks about it on his youtube page. Something like that would be a big deal as it would bring a lot of people to you. It does not have to happen now, but something to think about when you get things up and running.
Thank you so much for sharing this and for the great suggestion!
We’ll definitely check out the Goldbach topic and the YouTube channel you mentioned. It’s always helpful to hear what’s gaining traction and what could bring value and visibility to the project.
We appreciate you thinking ahead and helping shape the direction.
Thanks again!

Dear @Tradermoe1023 Regarding the issue with the risk-reward tool appearing "stretched" — we've identified that this behavior can be inherited from a previously created or modified instance of the tool. In other words, if the tool was stretched at some point (even if it wasn’t newly created but edited), any new instances may carry over that stretched state automatically.
That said, our developers are still investigating whether there might be additional causes contributing to this behavior.
We appreciate your understanding and patience while we look into it.

Also order history is still not showing up.
