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.
