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.

Equity Trade Risk Manager does this by calculating your ideal position size or ideal stop loss based on your account size, purchase price and risk tolerance. This ensures you are never risking more than your predetermined amount on each trade.
Unlike most position size calculators, that will only tell traders how many shares to purchase, Equity Trade Risk Manger allows the trader to choose whether they want to calculate the ideal number of shares to purchase or where to set the trades stop loss based on the number of shares owned. Not only that, but knowing traders need to act fast, the indicator also gives the option to quickly use the current price and low of the day as an entry and stop. Lastly, your stop loss will be plotted onto the chart for a visual aid.

Trade size calculatorThis script will calculate recommended Trade Size based on your Risk appetite, Trading style and Current market volatility. Once you input “ RiskPerTrade ” amount, It automatically adjusts recommended Trade Size for changes in markets behavior. You have an option to select “ Long Term ”, “ Short Term ” & “ Intraday ” as your Trade Type. Your Rec Size (Trade Size) will be calculated and printed on you chart.
How it works:
It calculates recommended trade size using your accepted risk ( RiskPerTrade input) and instruments current average price range.
It uses different multipliers to adjust the trade size based on your Trade Type .
Intraday trades are assumed to be closed within the same trading session and therefore will have the highest recommended size.
Short Term trades assume the overnight risk added to the positions and recommend a lower size.
Long Term trades assume overnight & weekend risk added to the position and therefore recommend the smallest size.
Your Trade Size is the key to Risk Management. This Indicator is simple but powerful when used with a good Portfolio Management Strategy. Just add the indicator to your chart and configure its inputs as per your trade plan.
How to configure the Indicator
Input 1 - Add RiskPerTrade amount
Input 2 - Select your Trade Type
Input 3 - Add a negative number in BarsRight to position the label in the desired location of your screen.
Important Display Setting - “ BarsRight ” Input - If you CAN'T SEE the Yellow Label on the chart after you added the indicator, set this number to a large negative no. for example -200 and then adjust the number to get the label positioned where you would like. This happens due to various screen formats and resolutions.
Please note: This indicator is designed for Equities, Stocks or ETFs only. For users in markets not priced in US dollar, make sure your instrument’s price and your RiskPerTrade amount are in the same currency.

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.

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.

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.
