When setting brackets or managing open positions, traders need a clear view of their risk (R-factor & profit loss)—expressed in currency, ticks, or points. This is especially critical for trades driven by liquidity or market structure, where understanding risk in real-time enhances decision-making.

Proposed Functionality
- Show risk directly on the Chart and DOM.
- Display risk when setting limit bracket orders and while in an active position.

Examples
- ThinkorSwim Active Trader: Demonstrates this on their DOM (see video: [https://youtu.be/ktawiYWsxUo?si=8XLEA7uCA9VjawUH&t=50]).
- Bookmap Limit Bracket draw-up ex: A drawn-up example of setting Limit with Brackets on-chart (image attached).

Why It Matters
Bookmap’s strength lies in its visual interface. Adding risk visibility aligns with this, empowering traders to manage positions using visual liquidity levels and market structure more effectively.

I requested this in the #suggestions channel on the discord. It seem that alot of people are also wanting the same features and capabilities. 

It would be great to be able to see or toggle on/off the ability to see the current entry (current unrealized profit), take profit (Profit at this level), Stop loss (Loss at this level), so traders can have full transparency when trading. 

IMO this is integral and crucial to risk management, trade management in any trading environment, but even more important for scalpers.

Without this information on the screen, we have to measure and calculate everything manually, and bookmap doesnt offer a measure tool. This is incredibly important so we are not trading blindly. 

I must express the importance of expressing this in currency value rather than ticks or points. Its much easier, direct, and straight forward to understand at a glance, when we are already dealing with so much stress as traders, and our minds need to be on trading, not doing calculations that could cost us precious time and money. 

A great example of what I am talking about is exactly what I posted in the discord, which Is a screenshot of executing trade in trading view.  You are able to see everything clearly, so even if you drag your TP or SL, you can see exactly your profit or loss at those positions. You can also see everything change if you were to add to your position, or scale out. Its full transparency. 

The lack of this one feature on Bookmap has kept be from executing my trades on book map, b/c I feel like Im trading blind without any real transparency of whats going on other than the simple position itself. Its also incredible unrealistic to scalp without knowing this information in real time. 

It would also be nice to be able to drag the SL/TP when you are not in the locked position. IF the screen has been dragged over to see something not in view, like in the above picture when the icon pops up, you can not drag the SL and TP unless you click that button to take you all the way to the right again.

It would be greatly appreciated if Bookmap would incorporate these features, as many of us absolutely love the bookmap order flow, and all the other amazing features it brings, as its the gold standard of order flow software. But this feature would complete it as a fully functional execution platform. 

This feature needs to be added to bolster the ability to assess and manage risk within a trade. 

This is a key feature to manage risk, at the moment I don't see a way to view current stop risk in $ value on the chart or DOM. This feature is a common tool across trading platforms, it's extremely useful to traders.
