Is there a window or feature where I can see the active $ amount of risk I have on based on my current position average price and where I have my stop orders? I know there is a P/L column on the DOM, but would prefer a separate window to save space on my DOM. TIA.

There is the Reward/Risk tool. Refer to the following:
Chart Drawing Tools: Reward/Risk

Also, you can display the amount of Profit and Loss you would have in your working orders. Refer to the following:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Attached Order P/L Always (Global Settings >> Chart Trade Settings >> Working Orders >> Working Orders - Display)

Thanks. Not looking for something to draw on the chart. More looking for a window like the Trade Orders, Trade Positions, Trade Account Monitor windows that would show how much active $ risk I have on based on where my average price is and where my stops are. The Global Trade Setting doesn't quite do it either because my DOM isn't wide enough to show the amounts on the order lines and also it doesn't total up the $ risk if there are multiple entries and thus multiple OCO stops. If the stops are at the same price it doesn't show the total $ amount, just the $ amount for that particular stop order.

The only way to get this would be to create a custom study. Refer to the following:

Ok. Thank you for your help. Would be a nice feature to have - a window where I can see my active risk amount (in dollar amount) based on my average entry price and my current stop loss market orders. Could even be a column in the Trade Account Monitor Window. 'OpenRiskP/L' column, just like the 'OpenPositionsP/L' column. Thank you for the list of programmers as well.

Have a look at the Trade Statistics for Charts tab:
Trade Activity Log: Trade Statistics for Charts (Chart Stats) Tab

You can control what charts are included there with this setting:
Chart Settings: Include Chart Trade List in Trade Statistics for Charts Window (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)
