Position Sizing Calculator (Real-Time)█ SUMMARY
The following indicator is a Position Sizing Calculator based on Average True Range (ATR), originally developed by market technician J. Welles Wilder Jr., intended for real-time trading.
This script utilizes the user's account size, acceptable risk percentage, and a stop-loss distance based on ATR to dynamically calculate the appropriate position size for each trade in real time.
█ BACKGROUND
Developed for use on the 5-minute timeframe, this script provides traders with continuously updated, dynamic position sizes. It enables traders to instantly determine the exact number of shares and dollar amount to use for entering a trade within their acceptable risk tolerance whenever a trade opportunity arises.
This real-time position sizing tool helps traders make well-informed decisions when planning trade entries and calculating maximum stop-loss levels, ultimately enhancing risk management.
█ USER INPUTS
Trading Account Size: Total dollar value of the user's trading account.
Acceptable Risk (%): Maximum percentage of the trading account that the user is willing to risk per trade.
ATR Multiplier for Stop-Loss: Multiplier used to determine the distance of the stop-loss from the current price, based on the ATR value.
ATR Length: The length of the lookback period used to calculate the ATR value.

Position Size ToolUpdated - Version 2
This tool is used to calculate the size of a trade.
Settings - Type in total account size and % of capital that can be risked on each trade.
The table will display:
Column 1 - Stop placement based on low, mid or high value of the current candle.
Column 2 - Percent risk on the trade.
Column 3 - Amount of shares that can be traded (calculated from account size, risk and selected stop placement).
Green color is intended for long position, stop at the low of the candle.
Red color is intended for short position, stop at the high of the candle.
Middle value can shift between either color since its measured from open to close.
Forex Lot Size Calculator [AKCHOOO]Forex Lot Size Calculator based off stop loss (ticks), also shows the lot size needed for taking partials (based of % of trade to close partial position).

Ultimate risk management toolHow to use:
Use the cursor to select the time, entry, stop loss, and target position. Then a window will pop up and type the trading fee or any other things you want to adjust to calculate the actual reward/risk ratio according to the price you selected.
Known error:
Settings of this script can't be saved as default might due to the interactive price selection function. If anyone knows how to fix it, please let me know.
feature:
1. Dynamic profit label can move up and down vertically on the right-hand side of the box.
2. The breakeven line can tell you you can move your stop loss to the entry price when the price reaches it.
3. Calculate the actual reward/risk ratio based on the trading fee. The calculator only calculates the actual Risk/Reward Ratio, which might be helpful for scalpers.
4. When the price touches sl or tp, that side of the box will be highlighted. Sometimes it doesn't work but I will try my best to fix it. Feel free to share your idea to help me to fix it.
5. Price alert. This tool compares with the alert function but reopens it if you want to change the alert price.
ATR SL + Position Size Calculator [DoctaBot]Props to @Veryfid for his original script 'ATR Stop Loss Finder'.
The concept is simple. We use the average true range to determine an appropriate stop loss distance based on recent volatility. The original script calculated the stop loss offset from the current candle's high or low. Here, I've added the option to offset stop loss from the recent local low or local high (a better way in my opinion).
I have also added a feature to automatically calculate position size by either dollar amount or as a percent of your account size to suit your risk profile (percent of account at risk per trade). This calculator supports use of leverage to calculate the amount of margin required to open desired position size.
Position Sizing CalculatorThis is an intuitive risk management tool with a minimalist design.
This calculator will determine your position size per trade, profit, loss, risk/reward ratio and leverage if any.
It will calculate your leverage if you are trading financial instruments e.g. Mini Futures , Turbo Warrants etc. that have a financing level.
Tip: Use this as a complement to the Long/Short Position tool.
Provide the following inputs to get a calculation:
- Position type
- Account balance
- Risk per trade percentage
- Financing level (if any for leveraged instruments), else let it be 0
- Entry price
- Target price
- Stopp loss price
You can also choose the color of the output text, its background and position in the chart window.
Enjoy!
ATR Position Size AutomationAll you have to fill out is your account balance, the % amount of your account you want to risk, and the percentage of ATR you want calculated. If you have 100% it will do a full ATR calculation. So if the ATR is $2 then your risk per share would be $2. If you had 50% in the same example it would be risking $1 per share.
You can also customize what time frame you want the ATR to be calculating off of. Just be aware the calculation will only be right if you are showing a lower time frame on your chart then the one selected on the indicator. (If you are calculating a daily dont be on a weekly chart. You have to be on a Daily or lower)
You can select what boxes you want displayed and if you want the ATR lines on the chart.
SignalsThis script allows you to calculate position size, and future profit, loses.
- You can add 3 target values and 1 stop loss
- Optionally you can display table, position it as you like, and see risk ratio
Plans:
- add profit loss to the labels
Position Size By Risk For Bar SizeThis simple script provides a way of calculating position size on a bar by bar basis for a fixed risk amount.
If you are trading a fixed risk amount (e.g. $100) per trade and your Entry and Stop is defined by a specific bar on the chart (any resolution e.g. 15 min, 5 min, 2 min etc) then this indicator will show you the position size you can take.
The user configures the risk amount per trade in the setting for the indicator, the default is 100 (e.g. $100).
It calculates each bar size (high - low) for the resolution of the chart that is being viewed.
The position size = (risk amount) / (bar size).
It then displays a "." (dot) for each bar and to see the position size hover your mouse over this dot .
The pane for this indicator can be set to the top of the chart by using the "Move pane up" option on the chart so that the indicator is easily accessible and discrete at the top of the chart.
Also, there is an option to use this indicator as a substitute for the built-in volume display.
Position size FX and CryptoThis indicator I am using to calculate the position size to order for Forex and Crypto Future
Position calcCurrent script was created to help faster calculate possible gain or loss from a furure trade. Making money management a bit simpler, by changing values you can adjust proper trade leverage and see possible target values
Auto Position Sizing Risk RewardThe Auto Position Sizing Risk Reward indicator shows different Risk levels 1, 1.5, 2 and 3 based on your risk amount and uses an auto Stoploss level based on the ATR.
You can set the values for the "Note or Title", "Risk Amount", "Entry", "Target Price", "Stop Loss Distance", "Default Risk/Reward" and ATR settings.
The "auto" part comes into play when you haven't yet set an Entry value, which will make everything update according to the latest Closing price of the asset.
Once you set the Entry price, the Risk/Reward levels will stop updating their positions and stay in place. This allows you to dynamically see your potential Risk/Reward as the market progresses, as well as locking in your Risk/Reward levels once you are ready to enter a position.
Your Position Size as well as actual Stoploss level and Cost is displayed along with the other values in the textbox that floats next to the R/R levels.
This indicator was inspired by and relies heavily on the work done by zzzcrypto123 and NXT2017 in their indicators, but I felt that this version is unique enough to hopefully be of use to the general community.
I hope this helps you to trade better! Please feel free to improve it and provide suggestions.

MACD 50x Leveraged Short Strategy with Real Equity
Hello there ,
Short version of the Macd Long strategy.
MACD Long strategy:
Adding margin: Forbidden or not specified. (Add Margin : No)
Position size: (for each trade) 1%
Stop-Loss: (2% Above Entry Level)
Long: macd crossunder
Exit: macd crossover
Or ofc touching the stop-Loss value as predicted.
These strategies are just examples.
The goal is to observe true equity and equity change.
Warning: This strategy simulation is for Short direction only.
Regards.
MACD 50x Leveraged Long Strategy Results with Real Equity Hello there.
I was looking for a way to simulate leveraged transactions in Tradingview and this script came out.
You can examine the equity graph without looking at the strategy results.
Thus, the facts will come to light.
Strategy parameters:
Adding margin: Forbidden or not specified. (Add Margin : No)
Position size: (for each trade) 1%
Stop-Loss: (2%)
Long: macd crossover
Exit: macd crossunder
Or ofc touching the stop-Loss value as predicted.
Warning: This strategy simulation is for Long direction only.
Regards.
Position Size CalculatorThis is a script to make calculating position size easier. It calculates position size as a percentage of account balance and Risk/Reward based on input values of entry, exit, stoploss and shows the R/R box similar to tradingview's R/R tool. There is an option to toggle showing label and choosing of label text color.
Have to enter the following inputs in order for it to work properly
1. Account Balance : Account balance in either whatever is base currency of account
2. Risk % : Percentage of account balance to lose if stop is hit.
3. Entry
4. Stoploss
5. Target Price
Notes:
- Target Price is required for calculating R/R but is not necessary to calculate position size.
- Formula to calculate position size is : Balance * Risk % / SL %
- Formula to calculate R/R is : TP % / SL %
- SL % = ( Entry - SL ) / Entry * 100
- TP % = (TP - Entry ) / Entry * 100
Thanks to u/Chonky_ for help with feedback.
Position SizingHello All,
This script can be used for Position Sizing.
After you entered Capital you have, how much you can Risk per Trade, Profit and Stoploss Levels, it calculates Number of Buys/Sells, Position Size and Reward/Risk ratio. you need to choose one of "Long" or "Short" position you will take.
Number of Buys formula = Capital * RiskPerTrade / Loss
Position Size = NumberOfBuys * EntryPrice
Reward / Risk rate = (TargetPrice - EntryPrice) / (EntryPrice - StoplossPrice)
Enjoy!

inwCoin Position Sizing Calculator - For CryptocurrencySimple study for calculate position sizing with define risk percent.
The goal of this study is to eliminate excel/google sheet calculation and we can just calculate proper position size within chart.
How to use
-------------
1) Specific your trade side ( Long or Short )
2) Define your Entry/Stop price. These values are important for position size calculation
3) Define your Target price, if you have one.
4) Define your risk percent per trade and some slippage + fee. Most top traders are recommend 2% risk per trade. And maximum risk is 6% per month/per concurrent positions.
5) Define your initial capital ( your money in portfolio )
Optional
-------------
- Specific currency type for display purpose.
How to read the result
-------------
1) Position Size will tell you how big your position size per trade that match your specific risk percent.
2) You can check Risk-Reward ratio ( RRR ) to see if this trade is a good one or not, the Gurus are recommend RRR = 1.5 - 2.0 to win in a long run.
3) You can check your profit target and profit % per your capital if the target reach. Also you can check how much profit amount you'll get if target reach.
Calculator (weighted) - evoA tool to calculate the average price and position size.
The "Risk Amount" input means the amount of dollars you lose if the trade gets stopped out (it should be based on a small percentage of your account).
TIPS
- If you use the weights to calculate an average price, make sure it adds up to 100% in total or you will get a weird number.
- Keep an eye on the risk amount if you take a trade, if I ever update the script it might set back to default which will change your position size.
- I tested it all but you might trade in a different way than me, so do your own calculation for every new thing you try with it.
If you find any bug please tell me so that no one ends up with a weird calculation or position size.
