Calc Option Pos Size

An indicator to help you calculate the optimal number of options to buy based on the dollar amount of risk you want to take.
It also displays the planned risk-to-reward ratio (RR).
Important metrics such as the number of contracts to buy and the RR are updated live based on the current ticker price.

With spread support, you can simulate buying not at the mid-price but including the spread. This is factored into both the RR calculation and the number of contracts to buy.

You can predefine up to 10 strategies for scaling out of your option position, based on the number of contracts you hold.
Once you activate Manage Trade mode, the indicator shows how many contracts to close when the underlying asset reaches Profit Target 1 or Profit Target 2, along with visual signals.

While in a trade, you can also draw a trailing stop-loss level on the chart to help manage your position.

4. Set the dollar amount you are willing to risk.
