(17) Trade Risk Management VS-427)

Trade Risk Management is an Average True Range (ATR) indicator and a Risk Management Worksheet combined. Think widget, spreadsheet or worksheet that calculates how much you should invest in any equity.   This enables the trader to very quickly determine the level of volatility of any equity, allowing them to adjust their entry position size based on current and historical volatility . This is a simple and effective risk management tool. The trader only needs to enter the first three label values through the input/styles panel. Historical Volatility is determined via a 60 day/bar look-back for the highest high and the lowest low of the ATR. These two figures are utilized to stratify three background bands (Red = High Volatility; Blue = Median Volatility; and Green = Low Volatility.) The labels are then plotted on the center-line value representing the historical volatility of the equity in question. The label color represents the current volatility of the equity. This indicator is free to any subscriber of any Genie indicator package.
 
Enter the total value of all of your investments (stocks, cryptos, cash) in input #1 which will then be displayed in Label #1.
 
You enter the percentage of your account value you are willing to risk on any trade in input #2 which is then displayed in Label #2.

Label #6 shows three levels of historical volatility reflected in the three bands (RED, BLUE, GREEN) shown on the chart.
 
Label #7 shows the adjusted equity price based on current ATR.  If the current ATR is High; Top Red Band, the amount is increased by the (ATR * Risk Factor) Adjustment.  Because this increases you're calculated cost basis the number of shares you are indicated to buy is decreased, reducing your exposure to risk in a high volatility/risk environment.  If the ATR is Low: Bottom Green Band, the amount is decreased by the (ATR * Risk Factor) Adjustment.  Because this decreases your calculated cost basis the number of shares you are indicated to buy is increased because you are in a low volatility/risk environment. If the ATR is neutral: Middle Blue Band, the actual equity cost is utilized and no risk weighting based on ATR is incorporated. 
 
Label #8 shows the resulting change in the price that the risk weighting calculation above had on current price. 
 
Label #9 indicates the recommended number of Risk-Managed-Shares the trader should purchase.
 
Label #10 indicates the suggested Stop Loss levels and Label #11 shows the suggested Profit Exits Levels. 
 
To further emphasize that the Labels are the Indicator, they get plotted on a line that plots at the center of the current volatility level.  If you bring up this indicator and run through one of your trading symbol list, it will enable you to immediately determine exactly what the level of current and historical volatility each of the equities in your list is experiencing.
