6.1 Using the Projection Tool

STIC now comes with projection line plots for entry, stop‐loss and Take Profit (TP) projection feature based on your configured Risk-Reward (RR) ratio in the settings. Alternatively, the Long/Short Projection Tool is a must-have for any serious trader. It helps you visualize your trade‐entry, stop loss, take profit, risk amount, and potential reward‐all before you commit.

• TP Projection Line:
• A short blue horizontal line will appear on the chart, indicating the projected TP level.
• Default TP is set to 1.5x your risk (i.e., 1.5RR).
• Visual Entry Guide:
• Grey line = Entry level
• Red line = Stop Loss (SL)
• Blue line = Take Profit (TP)
• Entry Labels Updated:
• Entry labels now include the TP value along with the SL and Entry price, giving you a complete view of the trade setup.

You can easily adjust the TP Risk‐Reward Ratio in the indicator settings under Risk/Reward Ratio. Every new entry setup will reflect your chosen RR. This is also embedded in the alerts

When using STIC, this tool supports proper trade management by giving you a clear view of:

• Where you're entering
• How much you're risk margin should be
• What your potential reward looks like when you project it
• Where to place your take profit

We strongly recommend that STIC users:

• Risk no more than 2% of total capital per trade
• Take only one trade at a time to avoid overexposure

To use the tool properly:

• Edit the projection tool settings to input your capital and risk percentage.
• This will help you calculate the exact position size for the trade.
• Set your take profit levels based on a 1.5, 1.7, to 2:1 risk‐to‐reward ratio. STIC take profit is set at 1.5RR by default.

When used correctly, this tool keeps your emotions out and your plan in control.
