Position Sizing Indicator

Recommended Posts

You need to know how long your average losing trade lasts.

 

This indicator calculates risk per day then sizes your position accordingly based on average true range.

 

I like to scale into positions so I have it entering positions a third (approximately) at a time.

 

Can't post ELD at the moment for some reason.

 

 

 

inputs: ATRLength( 14 ),risksize(1200), maxpositionsize(50000),avgtradelen(3.5) ;

 

 

value2=risksize/((AvgTrueRange( ATRLength )*avgtradelen));

 

 

 

if (value2*close)>maxpositionsize then value2= maxpositionsize/close;

 

value1=value2*3;

 

Plot1(value1*.31, "Init" ) ;

 

Plot2(value1*.33, "2nd" ) ;

 

plot3 (value1*.36, "3rd");
