Position Size CalculatorPosition Size Calculator - User Guide
A simple tool to calculate optimal position size based on your risk preferences, visualize trade levels, and automatically determine trade direction.
Introduction
The Position Size Calculator is a TradingView indicator designed to help traders calculate the optimal position size for their trades based on account size and risk tolerance. This tool visually represents entry, stop loss, and take profit levels while automatically calculating the appropriate position size to maintain consistent risk management.

Reading the Information Panel
1. Getting Started
After adding the indicator to your chart, you'll see three horizontal lines representing:
Yellow line: Entry price
Green line: Take profit price
Red line: Stop loss price
The indicator automatically detects whether you're planning a Long or Short trade based on the position of your take profit relative to your entry.
2. Setting Up Your Account Parameters
In the "Position Calculator" settings group:
Account Size : Enter your total account balance
Account Currency : Set your account currency (USD, EUR, etc.)
Risk (%) : Enter the percentage of your account you're willing to risk per trade (e.g., 2%)
Instrument Type : Select your trading instrument (Forex, Futures, Stocks, or Crypto)
Value per 0.01 lot per tick : Enter the value of 0.01 lots per tick (for most Forex pairs, this is $1 per pip for 0.01 lot)
Minimum Lot Size : Set the minimum lot size allowed by your broker (usually 0.01 for Forex)
3. Setting Price Levels
In the "Price Levels" section:
Entry Price : The price at which you plan to enter the trade
Stop Loss Price : Where you'll exit if the trade goes against you
Take Profit Price : Your target price where you'll take profits
If you set Entry Price to 0, it will default to the current price. If Stop Loss or Take Profit are set to 0, they'll default to 5% below or above entry price respectively.
4. Understanding the Visual Elements
Yellow line : Your entry price
Green line : Your take profit level
Red line : Your stop loss level
Green zone : The profit zone (between entry and take profit)
Red zone : The loss zone (between entry and stop loss)
Information panel : Shows all calculations and trade details
5. Adjusting Your Trade on the Chart
The beauty of this tool is its interactivity:
You can drag any of the lines directly on the chart to adjust entry, stop loss, or take profit
If you drag the take profit above the entry , the indicator automatically sets up for a Long trade
If you drag the take profit below the entry , it automatically configures for a Short trade
All calculations and visuals update in real-time as you adjust the lines
This means you can quickly test different scenarios and see how they affect your position size and potential profit/loss.
6. Reading the Information Panel
The information panel displays:
Account details : Your account size and currency
Risk information : Your percentage risk and the equivalent monetary amount
Position Size : The optimal lot size calculated based on your risk parameters
Price levels : Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit with distances in ticks
Risk/Reward ratio : Shown as 1:X (where X is the reward relative to 1 unit of risk)
Potential outcomes : The exact amount you stand to gain or lose on this trade
Trade direction : Whether this is a Long or Short trade
Visual Settings
You can customize the appearance in the "Visual" settings group:
Adjust colors for profit and loss zones
Change the transparency of colored zones
Toggle the filling of spaces between lines
Adjust how far the lines extend beyond the last candle
Practical Tips
Always double-check your "Value per 0.01 lot per tick" setting for the specific instrument you're trading
For Forex major pairs, the standard is usually $1 per pip for 0.01 lots
For other instruments, consult your broker's specifications
The indicator works best when you place your stop loss at a logical market level (support/resistance, swing high/low) rather than a fixed percentage
Final Thoughts
This Position Size Calculator helps remove emotion from your trading by objectively calculating your position size based on your predefined risk parameters. It ensures that you maintain consistent risk across all your trades, regardless of the stop loss distance, which is a key component of successful risk management.
Remember: The most important goal in trading is capital preservation. This tool helps you ensure that each trade risks only what you've decided is acceptable for your trading strategy.

Max RR CalculatorAutomatically calculates the maximum RR reached during trade. Entry is at the candle close. There is an option available that takes another trade after getting stopped out on the next candle that is in same bias as first trade.
(If the first trade is a long and gets stopped out, then the second trade will wait until the next up candle to enter long again)
BB Sidecar CalculatorBB Sidecar Calculator
Visual trade planner and dynamic risk-to-reward tool
Overview
The BB Sidecar Calculator is a precision planning tool designed to help traders visualize risk, reward, and position sizing directly on their charts. By inputting basic trade parameters, the indicator calculates stop-loss distance, potential profit targets in R multiples, and total dollar risk or gain based on the instrument type and lot size. It supports a wide range of assets including futures, forex, and equities.
Features
• Manually input or click-to-place entry and stop levels directly on the chart
• Drag and adjust levels dynamically with real-time updates to targets and risk values
• Automatic detection of long or short direction based on entry vs. stop placement
• Supports optional Max Dollar Risk setting to cap trade risk based on your account limits
• Configurable number of R-multiple targets (1R to 10R)
• Instrument-aware calculations with pip support for forex and point-based logic for stocks and futures
• Adjustable label display with configurable text size, color, and price precision
• Customizable currency symbol to match your account denomination
How to Use
1. When you first add the indicator, click on the chart to place your Entry and Stop levels.
2. The indicator will automatically determine whether the trade is Long or Short.
3. Drag either level up or down to adjust your setup visually.
4. Set your Lot Size and optionally define a Max $ Risk value.
5. The indicator will display:
• Entry line with lot size label
• Stop line with dollar risk and distance
• Up to 10 risk-multiple profit targets (1R, 2R, etc.)
Max Risk Logic
When a value is entered for Max $ Risk, the indicator calculates the maximum price difference you can afford based on your lot size and instrument type. It will then:
• Calculate a stop-loss price that aligns with your risk cap
• Compare this with the user-defined stop price
• Select the more conservative stop (the one with less dollar risk)
• Display updated profit targets based on the selected stop level
For forex pairs, pip value and pip size are accounted for in risk calculations. For stocks and futures, point value is used.
If Max $ Risk is set to 0, the indicator uses your manually defined stop price exclusively.
Notes
• Labels and visuals are rendered only on the latest bar for clarity
• Supports various decimal precision levels for accurate price formatting
• Designed for use in planning, not live trade execution
• Works across multiple timeframes and instrument types

The Ultimate Lot Size Calculator Backstory
I created this Pine Script tool to calculate lot sizes with precision. While there are many lot size calculators available on TradingView, I found that most had significant flaws. I started teaching myself Pine Script over three and a half years ago with the sole purpose of building this tool. My first version was messy and lacked accuracy, so I never published it. I wanted it to be better than any other available tool, but my limited knowledge back then held me back.
Recently, I received a request to create a similar tool, as the current options still fail to deliver the precision and reliability traders need. This inspired me to revisit my original idea. With improved skills and a better understanding of Pine Script, I redesigned the tool from scratch, making it as precise, reliable, and efficient as possible.
This tool features built-in error detection to minimize mistakes and ensure accuracy in lot size calculations. I've spent more time on this project than on any other, focusing on delivering a solution that stands out on TradingView. While I plan to add more features based on user feedback, the current version is already a powerful, dependable, and easy-to-use tool for traders who value precision and efficiency in their lot size calculations.
How to use the tool ?
At first it might seem complicated, but it is quite easy to use the tool. There are two modes: auto and manual. By default, the tool is set on manual mode. When you apply the tool on the chart, it will ask you to choose the entry price, then the stop-loss price, and at last the take-profit price. Select all of them one by one. These values can be changed later.
Settings
There are various setting given for making the tool as flexible as possible. Here is the explanation for some of most important settings. Play with them and make yourself comfortable.
General settings
Auto mode : Use this mode if you want the the risk reward to be fixed and stop loss to be based on ATR. However the stop loss can be changed to be based on user input.
Manual mode : Use this mode if you want full control over entry, stop loss and take profit.
Contract Size : The tool works perfectly for all forex pairs including gold and silver but as the contract size is different for different assets it is difficult to add every single asset into the script manually so i have provided this option. In case you want to calculate lot size for a asset other then forex, gold or silver make sure to change this. Contract size = Quantity of the asset in 1 standerd lot.
Account settings
Automatic mode settings and ATR stop settings
Manual mode settings
Table and risk-reward box settings are pretty much self-explanatory i guess.
Error handling
A lot size calculator is a complex program. There are numerous points where it may fail and produce incorrect results. To make it robust and accurate, these issues must be addressed and managed properly, which practically all existing lot size calculator scripts fail to do.
Golden tip
When the symbol is changed it will display a symbol change warning as the entry, stop loss and take profit price won't change.
There are 2 ways to get fix this. Either manually enter all three values which i hate the most or remove the script from the chart and re-apply the script on chart again.
So to re-apply the indicator in most easy way follow the following instructions:
Note : If you encounter any other error then read the instruction to fix it and if it is an unknow error pleas report it to me in comments or DM.

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.

This script will not help you to find the perfect price to buy, but will allow to buy more and more when the market will go down. But please, don't forget to sell some parts when position will be profitable (or close to that), so you will be able to buy more and more even on a bear market. Please, take a look at the market stress situations to correctly plan your strategy there.
How to use?
1. Define amount to want to gain to position (e.g. $1000), this amount of money you will lose in case of liquidation (for isolation mode) or entire futures deposit in case of cross mode.
2. Configure existing position (price where you entered and amount of coins you already in), if no any - it's even better. Calculator will help with the right amount for a first purchase.
3. Configure futures, closs/isolation margin mode and other things. By default it will use liquidations for isolation margin mode to buy more a slightly above. You can use these levels even for cross mode (buy by calculations for isolation mode, but really have cross configured). If you want to use other levels to buy – please use Concrete Prices field to enter them split by comma, and the script will use it for calculations.
4. A table and lines will help to see more details of how to deal with market. Play around and find a best strategy for you. But please, don't forget to CHECK THE ACCURACY OF CALCULATIONS. This script gives only preliminary number and will never be able to show exact numbers, the REAL LIQUIDATIONS MAY BE MUCH HIGHER then it shows!!!
P.S. I, as an author, do not have any responsibility on your possible losses due to following these ideas. I am using it just like idea and recheck every number. There might be any issues, and you will pay for it with your own money. So please, be mindful while using it.
Hope it will help to make your trading better and way more comfort.
Take care and good luck!
QTY@RISK VWAP based calculationVWAP Volatility-Based Risk Management Calculator for Intraday Trading
Overview
This script is an innovative tool designed to help traders manage risk effectively by calculating position sizes and stop-loss levels using the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) and its standard deviation (StdDev). Unlike traditional methods that rely on time-based calculations, this approach is time-independent within the intraday timeframe, making it particularly useful for traders seeking precision and efficiency.
Key Concepts
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price): VWAP is a trading benchmark that represents the average price a security has traded at throughout the day, based on both volume and price. It provides insight into the average price level over a specific period, helping traders understand the market trend.
StdDev (Standard Deviation): In the context of VWAP, the standard deviation measures the volatility around the VWAP. It provides a quantifiable range that traders can use to set stop-loss levels, ensuring they are neither too tight nor too loose.
How the Script Works
1. VWAP Calculation: The script calculates the VWAP continuously as the market trades, integrating both price and volume data.
2. Volatility Measurement: It then computes the standard deviation of the VWAP, giving a measure of market volatility.
3. Stop-Loss Calculation: Using user-defined StdDev factors, the script calculates two stop-loss levels. These levels adjust dynamically based on market conditions, ensuring they remain relevant throughout the trading session.
4. Position Sizing: By incorporating your risk tolerance, the script determines the appropriate position size. This ensures that your maximum loss per trade does not exceed your predefined risk value.
How to Use the Calculator
1. Select Two VWAP StdDev Factors: Choose two standard deviation factors for calculating stop-loss levels. For example, you might choose 0.5 and 0.75 to set conservative and aggressive stop-losses respectively.
2. Set Your Trading Account Size: Enter your total trading capital. For example, $50,000.
3. Maximum Lot Size: Define the maximum number of shares you are willing to trade in a single position. For instance, 200 shares.
4. Risk Value per Trade: Input the maximum amount of money you are willing to risk on a single trade. For instance, $50.
5. Plotting Options: If you wish to visualize the stop-loss levels, enable the plot option and choose the price base for the plot, such as the closing price or the average of the high and low prices (hl2).
Example of Use
1. Initial Setup: After the market opens, wait for at least 15 minutes to ensure the VWAP has stabilized with sufficient volume data.
2. Parameter Configuration: Input your desired parameters into the calculator. For instance:
- VWAP StdDev Factors: 0.5 and 0.75
- Trading Account Size: $50,000
- Maximum Lot Size: 200 shares
- Risk Value per Trade: $50
- Plot Option: On, using "hl2" or "close" as the price base
3. Execution: Based on the inputs, the script calculates the position size and stop-loss levels. If the calculated stop-loss falls within the selected VWAP StdDev range, it will provide you with precise stop-loss prices.
4. Trading: Use the calculated position size and stop-loss levels to execute your trades confidently, knowing that your risk is managed effectively.

QTY@RISKWhat it does:
This indicator calculates the amount of shares to take at a predefined risk according to market volatility based on ATR.
This should help novice traders focus more on their trades and strategies instead of spending too much time calculating parameters.
How it works:
You have some configuration parameters
1. Number of candles used to calculate the ATR
2. ATR calculation method (SMA, RMA, EMA, WMA)
3. How much you want to risk in $.
4. Safety factor on ATR, to get a buffer
5. Size of your capital to be able to calculate the maximum amount of shares
6. Shares limit, if you have a certain limit of shares to take
The formula is simple:
Is the RISK/ATR * price > Equity ? then take the Equity/price
otherwise: SHARES = RISK/(ATR * safety_factor)
How to use it:
This indicator is most useful for intraday timeframe. If you trade on 1m, then use it in this timeframe
Pro Bollinger Bands CalculatorThe "Pro Bollinger Bands Calculator" indicator joins our suite of custom trading tools, which includes the "Pro Supertrend Calculator", the "Pro RSI Calculator" and the "Pro Momentum Calculator."
Expanding on this series, the "Pro Bollinger Bands Calculator" is tailored to offer traders deeper insights into market dynamics by harnessing the power of the Bollinger Bands indicator.
Its core mission remains unchanged: to scrutinize historical price data and provide informed predictions about future price movements, with a specific focus on detecting potential bullish (green) or bearish (red) candlestick patterns.
1. Bollinger Bands Calculation:
The indicator kicks off by computing the Bollinger Bands, a well-known volatility indicator. It calculates two pivotal Bollinger Bands parameters:
- Bollinger Bands Length: This parameter sets the lookback period for Bollinger Bands calculations.
- Bollinger Bands Deviation: It determines the deviation multiplier for the upper and lower bands, typically set at 2.0.
2. Visualizing Bollinger Bands:
The Bollinger Bands derived from the calculations are skillfully plotted on the price chart:
- Red Line: Represents the upper Bollinger Band during bearish trends, suggesting potential price declines.
- Teal Line: Represents the lower Bollinger Band in bullish market conditions, signaling the possibility of price increases.
3.Analyzing Consecutive Candlesticks:
The indicator's core functionality revolves around tracking consecutive candlestick patterns based on their relationship with the Bollinger Bands lines. To be considered for analysis, a candlestick must consistently close either above (green candles) or below (red candles) the Bollinger Bands lines for multiple consecutive periods.
4. Labeling and Enumeration:
To convey the count of consecutive candles displaying consistent trend behavior, the indicator meticulously assigns labels to the price chart. The position of these labels varies depending on the direction of the trend, appearing either below (for bullish patterns) or above (for bearish patterns) the candlesticks. The label colors match the candle colors: green labels for bullish candles and red labels for bearish ones.
5. Tabular Data Presentation:
The indicator complements its graphical analysis with a customizable table that prominently displays comprehensive statistical insights. Key data points within the table encompass:
- Consecutive Candles: The count of consecutive candles displaying consistent trend characteristics.
- Candles Above Upper BB: The number of candles closing above the upper Bollinger Band during the consecutive period.
- Candles Below Lower BB: The number of candles closing below the lower Bollinger Band during the consecutive period.
- Upcoming Green Candle: An estimated probability of the next candlestick being bullish, derived from historical data.
- Upcoming Red Candle: An estimated probability of the next candlestick being bearish, also based on historical data.
6. Custom Configuration:
To cater to diverse trading strategies and preferences, the indicator offers extensive customization options. Traders can fine-tune parameters such as Bollinger Bands length, upper and lower band deviations, label and table placement, and table size to align with their unique trading approaches.
Trade Manager & Position Size Tool & PnL Tracker [AlgoScopes] V1Position size tool, leverage calculator, trade tracker, money management, trade presentation, risk reward management, margin position, live profit and loss, that's all in this one Trade Manager indicator.
The idea for this indicator comes from two years ago when I was helping a friend who, at the request of 15-20 members from our telegram group, wanted to create a paid group and share our ideas for trade with them (it started as an experiment for just a month or two and ended with 15 months with over 500 trading ideas and signals, with a complete TA chart). If I had time to create this indicator back then for members, it would have been much easier for them to be able to understand and follow the trade idea that was presented through a classic chart, with all the things that a TA must have:
Entry (as well as the reason for entry),
Stop (where the idea for the trade is no longer valid),
Target (with the reason why it is the target for that trade),
Take profits (taking part of the profit on the way to the target).
The majority of members still did not understand how much position to trade, what is the possible profit or loss, if the margin trade is how much leverage to use, in one word “money management”. The most important rule that every trader must follow is "Plan your trade and trade your plan". Learn money management and you are halfway there to becoming a successful trader. It is only after all that, you learn to use some of the "holy grail" indicators. When you have mastered those first two rules, find and master your favorite indicator or trading style (the most important thing is to stick to those two rules). The margin | leverage is also included in the script, for which there are so many dilemmas, arguments and discussions. (that many who still do not understand margin, would trade that it is not passionate if it is controlled). Too much for an introduction, especially since this indicator has so much to explain.
Most importantly, this is an invite-only indicator, and there are so many free indicators on tradingview that can also serve you very well. As far as I know, all exchanges have a calculator tool to calculate the possible profit and loss for each trade you plan to take.
*This indicator is not recommended for scalping on a 1min chart because the script, as you will see, is very complex, so the loading time is longer than with simpler indicators.
💠 ABOUT THE SCRIPT
This script is made to help manage trade. In this one indicator you have the possibility to do technical analysis, calculation for trade (four types: account size risk, trade investment, maximum to lose or position size), monitor 'PnL' (profit and loss in real time) do the calculation in the second, maybe local currency, and set an alert (from entry to any other change in trade). As the script is made for general use, some slight differences are possible for real time 'PnL' or 'ROI'. Always do a test before you start trading with larger amounts. The script is recommended for intra day trading and above. The script is not recommended for scalping on the 1min chart
💎 PROCESS TO ADD SCRIPT TO CHART
Possible trade on break example trade
As this script is invite-only, to add it to the chart you need to click on Indicators and find it under the 'Invite-Only' section. When you add the script to the chart (as it is interactive), you will be asked to do 4 steps.
🔸 'SET TRADE TIME'

After you have done those 4 steps, a popup will appear with the relevant inputs for the trade.
You will see that some inputs are already filled (done in those 4 steps before, Entry, Stop and Target). You can correct them if you want (you will sometimes notice a longer 'space decimal' for the trade ticker, but this will not affect the calculator or other parts of the script). You can do the rest of the inputs for trade or finish it later when the script is loaded on the chart (it is recommended to fill in 'Trade Type' and 'Amount'. Don't forget to click on the "Apply" button to load the script on the chart.

XAUUSD & XAGUSD LOT SIZE CALCUALTOR - BY ADRIANFX94This calculator is a tool designed for traders who trade on the financial markets with instruments like gold (XAUUSD) and silver (XAGUSD). It helps you determine the appropriate lot size to trade based on your account balance, desired risk percentage, and stop-loss size in pips.
Here's how it works:
Account Balance: You input your account balance in US dollars (USD). This is the amount of money you have available to trade.
Risk Percentage: You specify the percentage of your account balance that you are willing to risk on each trade. For example, if you set it to 1%, you are willing to risk 1% of your account balance on a single trade.
Stop Loss Pip Size: You set the size of your stop loss in pips. A stop loss is a risk management tool that defines the maximum amount you are willing to lose on a trade.
The calculator then uses this information along with contract sizes and pip sizes for gold and silver to calculate the appropriate lot size for each instrument. Lot size refers to the number of units or contracts you will trade.
The results are displayed in a table on the top-right corner of your trading chart. The table shows your account balance, the risk percentage you set, and the calculated lot size for gold and silver. The lot size represents the number of contracts you should trade for each instrument to align with your risk management strategy.
By using this calculator, traders can make informed decisions about their trade sizes, ensuring they manage their risk effectively and trade in a way that aligns with their account balance and risk tolerance. It helps traders avoid overexposing their accounts to risk and helps maintain a disciplined trading approach.
