What it does:
This indicator calculates the amount of shares to take at a predefined risk according to market volatility based on ATR.
This should help novice traders focus more on their trades and strategies instead of spending too much time calculating parameters.
How it works:
You have some configuration parameters
1. Number of candles used to calculate the ATR
2. ATR calculation method (SMA, RMA, EMA, WMA)
3. How much you want to risk in $.
4. Safety factor on ATR, to get a buffer
5. Size of your capital to be able to calculate the maximum amount of shares
6. Shares limit, if you have a certain limit of shares to take
The formula is simple:
Is the RISK/ATR * price > Equity ? then take the Equity/price
otherwise: SHARES = RISK/(ATR * safety_factor)
How to use it:
This indicator is most useful for intraday timeframe. If you trade on 1m, then use it in this timeframe
