NQ Position Size CalculatorNQ Position Size Line Calculator is designed specifically for Nasdaq 100 futures (NQ) and micro futures (MNQ) traders who want to maintain disciplined risk management. This visual tool eliminates the guesswork from position sizing by displaying distance lines and contract calculations directly on your chart.
The indicator creates horizontal lines at 10-tick intervals from your stop loss level, showing you exactly how many contracts to trade at each distance to maintain your predetermined risk amount. Whether you're trading regular NQ contracts or micro MNQ contracts, this calculator ensures you never risk more than intended while providing instant visual feedback for optimal position sizing decisions.
How to Use the Indicator
Step 1: Configure Your Settings
Stop Loss Price: Enter your exact stop loss level (e.g., 20000.00)
Risk Amount ($): Set your maximum dollar risk per trade (e.g., $500)
Contract Type: Choose between:
NQ (Regular): $5 per tick - for larger accounts
MNQ (Micro): $0.50 per tick - for smaller accounts or conservative sizing
Display Options:
Max Lines: Number of distance lines to show (default: 30)
Show Labels: Toggle tick distance and contract count labels

Read the label to see: distance in ticks and maximum contracts
Example: "30T 8x" = 30 ticks from stop, buy 8 contracts maximum
For Short Positions:
Look at the red labels on the left side of your chart
Find your desired entry level
Read the label for tick distance and contract count
Example: "40T 6x" = 40 ticks from stop, sell 6 contracts maximum
Step 5: Trading Execution
Before Entering a Trade:
Identify your stop loss level and input it into the indicator
Choose your entry point by looking at the distance lines
Note the contract count from the corresponding label
Verify the risk amount matches your trading plan
Execute your trade with the calculated position size

NQ/MNQ Position Sizing
Despite having my own position sizing calculator in an excel sheet, the manual process of having to identify my next trade, switch tabs/screens, input my values into the sheet, go back into TV, input the trade parameters with appropriate contract sizing, has always really gotten to me. I also found that I would often miss ideal entries due to the delay this caused.
I searched TV for position sizing calculators but almost all the ones I found seemed to be similar: based on some form of manual input for the entry and stop parameters, many of which had way more settings and parameters than I needed, also over complicated things.
I just needed something that would allow me to dynamically set my entry and stop levels directly on the chart, and spit out the appropriate contracts I should be using, either on NQ or MNQ, to maintain my desired level of risk, so I could quickly execute the necessary trade.
So, I coded my own and it's been a huge help to me already, so I thought I may as well publish the script as can't imagine there aren't others out there that also hate the manual data entry process of calculating risk.
Upon first load, the script will ask you to set your Entry and Stop levels, before drawing respective lines for these on the chart, and calculating contract sizing based on your risk settings, which you can update directly. The reset values may be buggy, will be easier to just remove the script and re-apply it to your chart if you ever lose track of the levels you've set.
Hope it's useful.
Metatrader CalculatorThe “ Metatrader Calculator ” indicator calculates the position size, risk, and potential gain of a trade, taking into account the account balance, risk percentage, entry price, stop loss price, and risk/reward ratio. It supports the XAUUSD, XAGUSD, and BTCUSD pairs, automatically calculating the position size (in lots) based on these parameters. The calculation is displayed in a table on the chart, showing the lot size, loss in dollars, and potential gain based on the defined risk.
RiskCalc FX & GoldRiskCalc FX & Gold is a multi-market position sizing tool designed to help you manage risk quickly and accurately. With this script, simply enter your account capital, the percentage of risk you wish to take, and your stop in ticks. Depending on the selected market—Forex or XAUUSD—the script automatically adjusts its calculations:
Forex: Assumes 1 lot equals 100,000 units.
XAUUSD: Assumes 1 lot equals 100 ounces.
The script calculates your risk in dollars and, using a fixed value of 1 USD per tick per lot, determines the ideal position size in both lots and total contracts. Results are displayed in a clear, centralized table at the top of the chart for real-time decision-making.
Perfect for traders operating across multiple markets who need an automated and consistent approach to risk management.
Visual Range Position Size CalculatorVisual Range Position Size Calculator
The "VR Position Size Calculator" helps traders determine the appropriate position size based on their risk tolerance and the current market conditions. Below is a detailed description of the script, its functionality, and how to use it effectively.
---
Key Features
1. Risk Calculation: The script allows users to input their desired risk in monetary terms (in the currency of the ticker). It then calculates the position sizes for both long and short trades based on this risk.
2. Dynamic High and Low Tracking: The script dynamically tracks the highest and lowest prices within the visible range of the chart, allowing for more accurate position sizing.
3. Formatted Output: The calculated values are displayed in a user-friendly table format with thousands separators for better readability.
4. Visual Indicators: Dashed lines are drawn on the chart at the high and low points of the visible range, providing a clear visual reference for traders.
5. If the risk in security price is 1% or less, the background of the cells displaying position sizes will be green for long positions and red for short positions. If the risk is between 1% and 5%, the background changes to gray, indicating that the risk may be too high for an effective trade. If the risk exceeds 5% of the price, the text also turns gray, rendering it invisible, which signifies that there is no justification for such a trade.
---
Code Explanation
The script identifies the start and end times of the visible range on the chart, ensuring calculations are based only on the data currently in view. It updates and stores the highest (hh) and lowest (ll) prices within this visible range. At the end of the range, dashed lines are drawn at the high and low prices, providing a visual cue for traders.
Users can input their risk amount, which is then used to calculate potential position sizes for both long and short trades based on the current price relative to the tracked high and low. The calculated risk values and position sizes are displayed in a table on the right side of the chart, with color coding to indicate whether the calculated position size meets specific criteria.
---
Usage Instructions
1. Add the Indicator: To use this script, copy and paste it into Pine Script editor, then add it to your chart.
2. Input Your Risk: Adjust the 'Risk in money' input to reflect your desired risk amount for trading.
3. Analyze Position Sizes: Observe the calculated position sizes for both long and short trades displayed in the table. Use this information to guide your trading decisions.
4. Visual Cues: Utilize the dashed lines on the chart to understand recent price extremes within your visible range.

ATR Bands with ATR Cross + InfoTableOverview
This Pine Script™ indicator is designed to enhance traders' ability to analyze market volatility, trend direction, and position sizing directly on their TradingView charts. By plotting Average True Range (ATR) bands anchored at the OHLC4 price, displaying crossover labels, and providing a comprehensive information table, this tool offers a multifaceted approach to technical analysis.
Key Features:
ATR Bands Anchored at OHLC4: Visual representation of short-term and long-term volatility bands centered around the average price.
OHLC4 Dotted Line: A dotted line representing the average of Open, High, Low, and Close prices.
ATR Cross Labels: Visual cues indicating when short-term volatility exceeds long-term volatility and vice versa.
Information Table: Displays real-time data on market volatility, calculated position size based on risk parameters, and trend direction relative to the 20-period Smoothed Moving Average (SMMA).
Purpose
The primary purpose of this indicator is to:
Assess Market Volatility: By comparing short-term and long-term ATR values, traders can gauge the current volatility environment.
Determine Optimal Position Sizing: A calculated position size based on user-defined risk parameters helps in effective risk management.
Identify Trend Direction: Comparing the current price to the 20-period SMMA assists in determining the prevailing market trend.
Enhance Decision-Making: Visual cues and real-time data enable traders to make informed trading decisions with greater confidence.
How It Works
1. ATR Bands Anchored at OHLC4
Average True Range (ATR) Calculations
Short-Term ATR (SA): Calculated over a 9-period using ta.atr(9).
Long-Term ATR (LA): Calculated over a 21-period using ta.atr(21).
Plotting the Bands
OHLC4 Dotted Line: Plotted using small circles to simulate a dotted line due to Pine Script limitations.
ATR(9) Bands: Plotted in blue with semi-transparent shading.
ATR(21) Bands: Plotted in orange with semi-transparent shading.
Overlap: Bands can overlap, providing visual insights into changes in volatility.
2. ATR Cross Labels
Crossover Detection:
SA > LA: Indicates increasing short-term volatility.
Detected using ta.crossover(SA, LA).
A green upward label "SA>LA" is plotted below the bar.
SA < LA: Indicates decreasing short-term volatility.
Detected using ta.crossunder(SA, LA).
A red downward label "SA LA, then the market is considered volatile.
Display: Shows "Yes" or "No" based on the comparison.
b. Position Size Calculation
Risk Total Amount: User-defined input representing the total capital at risk.
Risk per 1 Stock: User-defined input representing the risk associated with one unit of the asset.
Purpose: Helps traders determine the appropriate position size based on their risk tolerance and current market volatility.
c. Is Price > 20 SMMA?
SMMA Calculation:
Calculated using a 20-period Smoothed Moving Average with ta.rma(close, 20).
Logic: If the current close price is above the SMMA, the trend is considered upward.
Display: Shows "Yes" or "No" based on the comparison.
How to Use
Step 1: Add the Indicator to Your Chart
Copy the Script: Copy the entire Pine Script code into the TradingView Pine Editor.
Save and Apply: Save the script and click "Add to Chart."
Step 2: Configure Inputs
Risk Parameters: Adjust the "Risk Total Amount" and "Risk per 1 Stock" in the indicator settings to match your personal risk management strategy.
Step 3: Interpret the Visuals
ATR Bands
Width of Bands: Wider bands indicate higher volatility; narrower bands indicate lower volatility.
Band Overlap: Pay attention to areas where the blue and orange bands diverge or converge.
OHLC4 Dotted Line
Serves as a central reference point for the ATR bands.
Helps visualize the average price around which volatility is measured.
ATR Cross Labels
"SA>LA" Label:
Indicates short-term volatility is increasing relative to long-term volatility.
May signal potential breakout or trend acceleration.
"SA 20 SMMA?
Use this to confirm trend direction before entering or exiting trades.
Practical Example
Imagine you are analyzing a stock and notice the following:
ATR(9) Crosses Above ATR(21):
A green "SA>LA" label appears.
The info table shows "Yes" for "Is ATR-based price volatile."
Position Size:
Based on your risk parameters, the position size is calculated.
Price Above 20 SMMA:
The info table shows "Yes" for "Is price > 20 SMMA."
Interpretation:
The market is experiencing increasing short-term volatility.
The trend is upward, as the price is above the 20 SMMA.
You may consider entering a long position, using the calculated position size to manage risk.
Customization
Colors and Transparency:
Adjust the colors of the bands and labels to suit your preferences.
Risk Parameters:
Modify the default values for risk amounts in the inputs.
Moving Average Period:
Change the SMMA period if desired.
Limitations and Considerations
Lagging Indicators: ATR and SMMA are lagging indicators and may not predict future price movements.
Market Conditions: The effectiveness of this indicator may vary across different assets and market conditions.
Risk of Overfitting: Relying solely on this indicator without considering other factors may lead to suboptimal trading decisions.
Conclusion
This indicator combines essential elements of technical analysis to provide a comprehensive tool for traders. By visualizing ATR bands anchored at the OHLC4, indicating volatility crossovers, and providing real-time data on position sizing and trend direction, it aids in making informed trading decisions.
Whether you're a novice trader looking to understand market volatility or an experienced trader seeking to refine your strategy, this indicator offers valuable insights directly on your TradingView charts.

Version 1.0
Position Cost DistributionThe Position Cost Distribution indicator (also known as the Market Position Overview, Chip Distribution, or CYQ Algorithm) provides an estimate of how shares are distributed across different price levels. Visually, it resembles the Volume Profile indicator, though they rely on distinct computational approaches.
🟠 Principle
The Position Cost Distribution algorithm is based on the principle that a security's total shares outstanding usually remains constant, except under conditions like stock splits, reverse splits, or new share issuance. It views all trading activity as simply exchanging share positions between holders at different price points.
By analyzing daily trade volume and the prior day's distribution, the algorithm infers the resulting share distribution after each day. By tracking these inferred transpositions over time, the indicator builds up an aggregate view of the estimated share concentration at each price level. This provides insights into potential buying and selling pressure zones that could form support or resistance areas.
Together with the Volume Profile, the Position Cost Distribution gives traders multiple lenses for examining market structure from both a volume and positional standpoint. Both can help identify meaningful technical price levels.
🟠 Algorithm
The algorithm initializes by allocating all shares to the price range encompassed by the first bar displayed on the chart. Preferably, the chart window should include the stock's IPO date, allowing the model to distribute shares specifically to the IPO price.
For subsequent trading sessions, the indicator performs the following calculations:
1. The daily turnover ratio is calculated by dividing the bar's trading volume by total outstanding shares.
2. For each price level (bucket), the number of shares is reduced by the turnover amount to represent shares transferring from existing holders.
3. The bar's total volume is then added to buckets corresponding to that period's price range.
Currently, the model assumes each share has an equal probability of being exchanged, regardless of how long ago it was acquired or at what price. Potential optimizations could incorporate factors like making shares held longer face a smaller chance of transfer compared to more recently purchased shares.

Section Summaries
Table Settings: Allows users to select position and font size from drop-down menus. Displays current settings and potential profit/loss values.
Price Points: Users can set their Entry and select whether they want to include a DCA entry, Stop Loss price, Liquidation Buffer %, Take Profit levels and the amount of position to close at each level.
Risk Management: Users fill out their Account Size, set their Risk % (or fixed $ amount) for each Entry, set Manual Leverage, or allow the indicator to automatically choose the leverage based on the Stop Loss price distance from Entry and the Risk % per Entry.
User-Input Descriptions
DCA Price: The price at which users initiate their second, equally sized and leveraged position when using a Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy. Upon reaching the DCA Price, the Entry Price adjusts to the Avg Price, calculated as the midpoint between initial and DCA entries.
Liquidation Buffer: A pre-set percentage that determines how close to the Stop Loss a position can get before it's liquidated. This assists the Auto Leverage feature in optimizing the leverage amount according to risk tolerance.
Risk per Entry: The proportion of the account, in % or a fixed dollar amount, that users are willing to risk for each trading position. If DCA is checked, this will assume users are entering with half of the total position size per entry.
Automatic Leverage: Auto Leverage automatically determines the optimal leverage level for a trade based on the user's Stop Loss price distance from the Entry point and the user-defined risk percentage per Entry. It also considers a user-defined Liquidation Buffer, which is a preset percentage determining how close to the Stop Loss a position can get before it's liquidated. This tool allows traders to optimize their leverage amount according to their risk tolerance.
Max Leverage: The highest leverage level users are willing to use, even if the exchange permits higher. This limit applies when the Auto Leverage feature is enabled.
Limit Order + ATR Stop-Loss [TANHEF]This indicator enables interactive placement of limit or stop-limit orders with a trailing ATR stop-loss and optional profit target (with alerts). Refer to the images below for further clarification.
Why use a trailing stop-loss?
A trailing stop-loss serves as an exit strategy when price moves against you, while also allowing you to adjust the exit point further into profit when price moves favorably. The ATR (Average True Range), a reliable measure of volatility, acts as an effective risk management tool, functioning as a trailing stop-loss.

Entry helperHello traders,
This is a script I use daily as a scalper and it helps me a lot, maybe it can help you, this is why I am sharing it!
PART 1 - DESCRIPTION
This program is specifically designed to help scalpers but can be used for all types of trading but won't be as useful.
This script is what I call an entry helper as it calculates dynamically the position size, stop loss and take profit levels and more.
When scalping and placing market entry orders, the price can move significantely while you are calculating your position size according to your stop loss, capital, risk and especially close price that changes very quickly, this results in a risk that is not ideally controlled and personally was a source of frustration and stress. I wanted to enter my quantity and stop loss values as fast as possible and make the process easier.
This script automates the calculation of the position size, stop loss and take profit levels according the the users input and prints the data visibly on the screen so it is easy to copy by the trader. It allows the trader to be confident that his risk is as controlled as possible.
The script is easy to use and set up, this guide will help you if you have any difficulies or questions.
PART 2 - HOW TO USE THE SCRIPT
- SET THE CAPITAL SETTINGS
1 - Set your capital value in $
- SET THE TRADE SETTINGS
2 - Set your trade side (BUY or SELL)
3 - Set you desired risk in % of your capital
- ENTRY SETTINGS
4 - Set your entry from 2 different options
|MARKET| (default option)
This option will place the entry level at the last available price
|LIMIT|
This option allows you to input a fixed price level for the entry
- STOP LOSS SETTINGS
5 - Select your stop loss placement from 4 different options
|EXTREMA STOP LOSS| (default option)
This option will place the stop loss at the highest/lowest (extrema) price level within the last N candles
|ATR EXTREMA|
This option uses the same price level as the EXTREMA STOP LOSS but will add/soustract the last ATR value (calculated on the N last candles) multiplied by a coefficient that you input
|TICKS EXTREMA|
This option uses the same price level as the EXTREMA STOP LOSS but will add/soustract a number of ticks that you input
|PRICE LEVEL|
This option allows you to input a fixed price level for the stop loss
- TAKE PROFIT SETTINGS
6 - Select your take profit from 3 different options
|NONE| (default option)
This option will not display any take profit level, I have added this option as I don't have take profit targets
|RR|
This option uses a risk to reward ratio (reward/risk) that you input, it will automatically calculate the take profit level that corresponds
|PRICE LEVEL|
This option allows you to input a fixed price level for the take profit
- QUANTITY AND FEE SETTINGS
7 - Set the quantity settings, it represents the quantity in a lot (usually 100 000 in forex, 100 in stocks 1 for crypto currencies)
8 - Set the fee per quantity (turning lot)
- VISUAL SETTINGS
9 - Show or remove the tab
- TAB SETTINGS
10 - Select the data that you want to display in the tab (the tab will adapt automatically)
NOTES:
The vertical dashed line shows what candle has been used for the calculation of the stop loss, it allows you to visualize what candle the script has selected in case of an EXTREMA stop loss option.
I hope this helps you out! Any suggestions are welcome and I hope that the guide is clear enough.
Happy trading!
Position Sizing CalculatorThis script calculates the position size base on the stop loss price, entry price, and the percent of equity willing to risk.
Formula:
(Asset Quantity) = (Amount Risk at Trade) / (Price Difference Between Entry Price and Stop Loss)
or
Position size = (% Equity at Risk) * (Equity) / (Entry Price - Stop Loss Price)
Bollinger Band strategy with split, limit, stopEntering a short position after breaking the upper Bollinger Band, entering a long position when entering after breaking the lower Bollinger Band
Provides templates for how to display position average price, stop loss, and profit price using the plot function on the chart, and how to buy splits
After entering the position, if the price crosses the mid-band line, the stop loss is adjusted to the mid-band line.
