Micro Futures Contract Calculator Micro Futures Contract Calculator
Synopsis: The Micro Futures Contract Calculator is a sleek, minimalist indicator that calculates the number of Micro E-mini Nasdaq-100 (MNQ) or S&P 500 (MES) contracts you can trade based on a fixed dollar risk and stop-loss (in ticks). Displayed in a compact, professional table in the top-right corner, it shows your risk, stop-loss, contract type, and calculated contracts, helping traders maintain consistent risk management.
How to Use:
Add the indicator to your chart (search “Micro Futures Contract Calculator”).
In settings, input:
Maximum Risk ($): Your total risk per trade (e.g., $100).
Stop-Loss (Ticks): Stop-loss size in ticks (e.g., 20 ticks = 5 points).
Contract Type: Select MNQ or MES.
Check the top-right table for:
Risk, stop-loss, contract type, and number of contracts (e.g., “10” for MNQ, “4” for MES).
Use the contract number to size trades, ensuring risk stays fixed.
Why Standardized Risk is Important:
Consistency: Fixed risk per trade (e.g., $100) prevents oversized losses, stabilizing long-term performance.
Discipline: Removes emotional guesswork, enforcing a systematic approach across MNQ/MES trades.
Capital Protection: Limits exposure, preserving your account during losing streaks and volatile markets.
Scalability: Aligns position sizing with your risk tolerance, enabling confident scaling as your account grows.
This indicator simplifies risk management, making it essential for disciplined futures trading.
Risk and Position Sizing📏 Why Position Size Should Be Based on Risk?
Let’s say you are ready to lose 1,000 in a trade. Based on your stop loss level, you can calculate how many shares (or quantity) to buy, so that if the stop hits, you only lose that ₹1,000.
This is called risk-based position sizing. It makes your trade size dynamic — small when SL is wide, bigger when SL is tight. No more random position sizes — just systematic.
Portfolio size is multiplied by the selected risk % to get money risk per trade.
This amount is then used to calculate how many shares can be bought for the given stop-loss.
So chose your portfolio size in settings. Default Portfolio size is 1,00,000 .
You can select your risk % per portfolio in the settings — for example:
0.25% for conservative style
0.5% to 1% for balanced traders
1.25% or 1.5% for aggressive ones (not recommended for beginners)
This script will automatically calculate how much quantity you should buy, for each stop-loss scenario.
📈 Progressive & Inverse-Progressive Risk Styles
Some traders follow progressive position sizing — they start with small risk when the trend is just starting, and increase the risk % as the trend confirms.
Others follow inverse-progressive sizing — they take high risk at early stages of a bull market, and reduce risk as the trend matures (when upside becomes limited).
📌 This script allows you to manually control the risk % in settings, so you can adjust it based on your trading phase and style.
📋 Three SL Scenarios – Choose What Matches Your Style
The table shows three different stop-loss conditions, and for each one it calculates:
Today’s Low – tightest stop loss
Yesterday’s Low – slightly safer, ideal for short-term swing trades
EMA Stop (configurable) – gives more breathing room.
You can visually compare all 3 in the table and choose whichever fits your strategy and comfort.
Also, you can customize:
Theme: dark or light
Font size
Table position (upper/lower corners)
🧠 Designed for traders who take risk management seriously.
Let this script handle the math. You focus on execution.
Happy Trading!

ATR % Line from Day LowHow can you make sure that you're not buying a stock that is too extended?
By limiting your buys to within a certain percentage of either the low-of-the-day (LoD) if you're going long, or to the high-of-the-day (HoD) if you're shorting a stock. This script will help you do just that.
Limiting stock purchases to within a certain percentage of the Average True Range (ATR) from the day's low or high is a risk management technique that offers several key benefits:
Risk Control and Position Sizing
By using ATR as a boundary, you're essentially creating a volatility-adjusted buffer. Since ATR measures recent price volatility, this approach prevents you from buying into stocks that have already moved significantly beyond their normal trading range. This helps avoid entering positions when the stock might be overextended and due for a pullback.
Improved Entry Timing
This strategy encourages patience and discipline. Rather than chasing a stock that's already run up substantially from its low, you wait for better entry points. For example, if you set a limit of 50% of ATR from the day's low, you're only buying when the stock hasn't moved more than half its typical daily range from the bottom.
Volatility Awareness
ATR naturally adjusts for each stock's individual volatility characteristics. A high-volatility stock might have an ATR of $2, while a low-volatility stock might have an ATR of $0.50. This approach scales your entry criteria appropriately for each security rather than using arbitrary dollar amounts.
Reduced Emotional Trading
Having a systematic rule removes the temptation to chase momentum or buy at poor technical levels. It forces you to wait for the stock to come back to more reasonable levels relative to its recent trading behavior.
Better Risk-Reward Ratios
By entering closer to the day's low (within your ATR percentage), you're typically getting a better risk-reward setup. Your stop loss (often placed below the day's low) will be tighter, while your potential upside remains intact.
This approach works particularly well for swing traders and those looking to enter positions on pullbacks or during consolidation periods rather than breakout scenarios.
To save valuable real estate on your chart, there's also an option that can give you a compact version of this indicator which will show only the "Current Day's Low/High" and "Target Price". "Target Price" being the price at which your max buy limit is based on the % ATR you choose in settings.
Correlation MA – 15 Assets + Average (Optional)This indicator calculates the moving average of the correlation coefficient between your charted asset and up to 15 user-selected symbols. It helps identify uncorrelated or inversely correlated assets for diversification, pair trading, or hedging.
Features:
✅ Compare your current chart against up to 15 assets
✅ Toggle assets on/off individually
✅ Custom correlation and MA lengths
✅ Real-time average correlation line across enabled assets
✅ Horizontal lines at +1, 0, and -1 for easy visual reference
Ideal for:
Portfolio diversification analysis
Finding low-correlation stocks
Mean-reversion & pair trading setups
Crypto, equities, ETFs
To use: set the benchmark chart (e.g. TSLA), choose up to 15 assets, and adjust settings as needed. Look for assets with correlation near 0 or negative values for uncorrelated performance.
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.
MTF Signal XpertMTF Signal Xpert – Detailed Description
Overview:
MTF Signal Xpert is a proprietary, open‑source trading signal indicator that fuses multiple technical analysis methods into one cohesive strategy. Developed after rigorous backtesting and extensive research, this advanced tool is designed to deliver clear BUY and SELL signals by analyzing trend, momentum, and volatility across various timeframes. Its integrated approach not only enhances signal reliability but also incorporates dynamic risk management, helping traders protect their capital while navigating complex market conditions.
Detailed Explanation of How It Works:
Trend Detection via Moving Averages
Dual Moving Averages:
MTF Signal Xpert computes two moving averages—a fast MA and a slow MA—with the flexibility to choose from Simple (SMA), Exponential (EMA), or Hull (HMA) methods. This dual-MA system helps identify the prevailing market trend by contrasting short-term momentum with longer-term trends.
Crossover Logic:
A BUY signal is initiated when the fast MA crosses above the slow MA, coupled with the condition that the current price is above the lower Bollinger Band. This suggests that the market may be emerging from a lower price region. Conversely, a SELL signal is generated when the fast MA crosses below the slow MA and the price is below the upper Bollinger Band, indicating potential bearish pressure.
Recent Crossover Confirmation:
To ensure that signals reflect current market dynamics, the script tracks the number of bars since the moving average crossover event. Only crossovers that occur within a user-defined “candle confirmation” period are considered, which helps filter out outdated signals and improves overall signal accuracy.
Volatility and Price Extremes with Bollinger Bands
Calculation of Bands:
Bollinger Bands are calculated using a 20‑period simple moving average as the central basis, with the upper and lower bands derived from a standard deviation multiplier. This creates dynamic boundaries that adjust according to recent market volatility.
Signal Reinforcement:
For BUY signals, the condition that the price is above the lower Bollinger Band suggests an undervalued market condition, while for SELL signals, the price falling below the upper Bollinger Band reinforces the bearish bias. This volatility context adds depth to the moving average crossover signals.
Momentum Confirmation Using Multiple Oscillators
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
The RSI is computed over 14 periods to determine if the market is in an overbought or oversold state. Only readings within an optimal range (defined by user inputs) validate the signal, ensuring that entries are made during balanced conditions.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
The MACD line is compared with its signal line to assess momentum. A bullish scenario is confirmed when the MACD line is above the signal line, while a bearish scenario is indicated when it is below, thus adding another layer of confirmation.
Awesome Oscillator (AO):
The AO measures the difference between short-term and long-term simple moving averages of the median price. Positive AO values support BUY signals, while negative values back SELL signals, offering additional momentum insight.
ADX (Average Directional Index):
The ADX quantifies trend strength. MTF Signal Xpert only considers signals when the ADX value exceeds a specified threshold, ensuring that trades are taken in strongly trending markets.
Optional Stochastic Oscillator:
An optional stochastic oscillator filter can be enabled to further refine signals. It checks for overbought conditions (supporting SELL signals) or oversold conditions (supporting BUY signals), thus reducing ambiguity.
Multi-Timeframe Verification
Higher Timeframe Filter:
To align short-term signals with broader market trends, the script calculates an EMA on a higher timeframe as specified by the user. This multi-timeframe approach helps ensure that signals on the primary chart are consistent with the overall trend, thereby reducing false signals.
Dynamic Risk Management with ATR
ATR-Based Calculations:
The Average True Range (ATR) is used to measure current market volatility. This value is multiplied by a user-defined factor to dynamically determine stop loss (SL) and take profit (TP) levels, adapting to changing market conditions.
Visual SL/TP Markers:
The calculated SL and TP levels are plotted on the chart as distinct colored dots, enabling traders to quickly identify recommended exit points.
Optional Trailing Stop:
An optional trailing stop feature is available, which adjusts the stop loss as the trade moves favorably, helping to lock in profits while protecting against sudden reversals.
Risk/Reward Ratio Calculation:
MTF Signal Xpert computes a risk/reward ratio based on the dynamic SL and TP levels. This quantitative measure allows traders to assess whether the potential reward justifies the risk associated with a trade.
Condition Weighting and Signal Scoring
Binary Condition Checks:
Each technical condition—ranging from moving average crossovers, Bollinger Band positioning, and RSI range to MACD, AO, ADX, and volume filters—is assigned a binary score (1 if met, 0 if not).
Cumulative Scoring:
These individual scores are summed to generate cumulative bullish and bearish scores, quantifying the overall strength of the signal and providing traders with an objective measure of its viability.
Detailed Signal Explanation:
A comprehensive explanation string is generated, outlining which conditions contributed to the current BUY or SELL signal. This explanation is displayed on an on‑chart dashboard, offering transparency and clarity into the signal generation process.
On-Chart Visualizations and Debug Information
Chart Elements:
The indicator plots all key components—moving averages, Bollinger Bands, SL and TP markers—directly on the chart, providing a clear visual framework for understanding market conditions.
Combined Dashboard:
A dedicated dashboard displays key metrics such as RSI, ADX, and the bullish/bearish scores, alongside a detailed explanation of the current signal. This consolidated view allows traders to quickly grasp the underlying logic.
Debug Table (Optional):
For advanced users, an optional debug table is available. This table breaks down each individual condition, indicating which criteria were met or not met, thus aiding in further analysis and strategy refinement.
Mashup Justification and Originality
MTF Signal Xpert is more than just an aggregation of existing indicators—it is an original synthesis designed to address real-world trading complexities. Here’s how its components work together:
Integrated Trend, Volatility, and Momentum Analysis:
By combining moving averages, Bollinger Bands, and multiple oscillators (RSI, MACD, AO, ADX, and an optional stochastic), the indicator captures diverse market dynamics. Each component reinforces the others, reducing noise and filtering out false signals.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
The inclusion of a higher timeframe filter aligns short-term signals with longer-term trends, enhancing overall reliability and reducing the potential for contradictory signals.
Adaptive Risk Management:
Dynamic stop loss and take profit levels, determined using ATR, ensure that the risk management strategy adapts to current market conditions. The optional trailing stop further refines this approach, protecting profits as the market evolves.
Quantitative Signal Scoring:
The condition weighting system provides an objective measure of signal strength, giving traders clear insight into how each technical component contributes to the final decision.
How to Use MTF Signal Xpert:
Input Customization:
Adjust the moving average type and period settings, ATR multipliers, and oscillator thresholds to align with your trading style and the specific market conditions.
Enable or disable the optional stochastic oscillator and trailing stop based on your preference.
Interpreting the Signals:
When a BUY or SELL signal appears, refer to the on‑chart dashboard, which displays key metrics (e.g., RSI, ADX, bullish/bearish scores) along with a detailed breakdown of the conditions that triggered the signal.
Review the SL and TP markers on the chart to understand the associated risk/reward setup.
Risk Management:
Use the dynamically calculated stop loss and take profit levels as guidelines for setting your exit points.
Evaluate the provided risk/reward ratio to ensure that the potential reward justifies the risk before entering a trade.
Debugging and Verification:
Advanced users can enable the debug table to see a condition-by-condition breakdown of the signal generation process, helping refine the strategy and deepen understanding of market dynamics.

Modern Portfolio Management IndicatorAfter weeks of grueling over this indicator, I am excited to be releasing it!
Intro:
This is not a sexy, technical or math based indicator that will give you buy and sell signals or anything fancy, but it is an indicator that I created in hopes to bridge a gap I have noticed. That gap is the lack of indicators and technical resources for those who also like to plan their investments. This indicator is tailored to those who are either established investors and to those who are looking to get into investing but don't really know where to start.
The premise of this indicator is based on Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT). Before we get into the indicator itself, I think its important to provide a quick synopsis of MPT.
About MPT:
Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) is an investment framework that was developed by Harry Markowitz in the 1950s. It is based on the idea that an investor can optimize their investment portfolio by considering the trade-off between risk and return. MPT emphasizes diversification and holds that the risk of an individual asset should be assessed in the context of its contribution to the overall portfolio's risk. The theory suggests that by diversifying investments across different asset classes with varying levels of risk, an investor can achieve a more efficient portfolio that maximizes returns for a given level of risk or minimizes risk for a desired level of return. MPT also introduced the concept of the efficient frontier, which represents the set of portfolios that offer the highest expected return for a given level of risk. MPT has been widely adopted and used by investors, financial advisors, and portfolio managers to construct and manage portfolios.
So how does this indicator help with MPT?
The thinking and theory that went behind this indicator was this: I wanted an indicator, or really just a "way" to test and back-test ticker performance over time and under various circumstances and help manage risk.
Over the last 3 years we have seen a massive bull market, followed by a pretty huge bear market, followed by a very unexpected bull market. We have been and continue to be plagued with economic and political uncertainty that seems to constantly be looming over everyone with each waking day. Some people have liquidated their retirement investments, while others are fomoing in to catch this current bull run. But which tickers are sound and how tickers and funds have compared amongst each other remains somewhat difficult to ascertain, absent manually reviewing and calculating each ticker individually.
That is where this indicator comes in. This indicator permits the user to define up to 5 equities that they are potentially interested in investing in, or are already invested in. The user can then select a specific period in time, say from the beginning of 2022 till now. The user can then define how much they want to invest in each company by number of shares, so if they want to buy 1 share a week, or 2 shares a month, they can input these variables into the indicator to draw conclusions. As many brokers are also now permitting fractional share trading, this ability is also integrated into the indicator. So for shares, you can put in, say, 0.25 shares of SPY and the indicator will accept this and account for this fractional share.
The indicator will then show you a portfolio summary of what your earnings and returns would be for the defined period. It will provide a percent return as well as the projected P&L based on your desired investment amount and frequency.
But it goes beyond just that, you can also have the indicator display a simple forecasting projection of the portfolio. It will show the projected P&L and % Return over various periods in time on each of the ticker (see image below):
The indicator will also break down your portfolio allocation, it will show where the majority of your holdings are and where the majority of your P&L in coming from (best performers will show a green fill and worst will show a red fill, see image below):
This colour coding also extends to the portfolio breakdown itself.
Dollar cost averaging (DCA) is incorporated into the indicator itself, by assuming ongoing contributions. If you want to stop contributions at a certain point, you just select your end time for contributions at the point in which you would stop contributing.
The indicator also provides some basic fundamental information about the company tickers (if applicable). Simply select the "Fundamental" chart and it will display a breakdown of the fundamentals, including dividends paid, market cap and earnings yield:
The indicator also provides a correlation assessment of each holding against each other holding. This emphasizes the profound role of diversification on portfolios. The less correlation you have in your portfolio among your holdings, the better diversified you are. As well, if you have holdings that are perfectly inverse other holdings, you have a pseudo hedge against the downturn of one of your holdings. This is even more helpful if the inverse is a company with solid fundamentals.
In the below example you will see NASDAQ:IRDM in the portfolio. You will be able to see that NASDAQ:IRDM has a slight inverse relationship to SPY:
Yet IRDM has solid fundamentals and is performing well fundamentally. Thus, this makes IRDIM a solid addition to your portfolio as it can potentially hedge against a downturn for SPY and is less risky than simply holding an inverse leveraged share on SPY which is most likely just going to cost you money than make you money.
Concluding remarks:
There are many fun and interesting things you can do with this indicator and I encourage you to try it out and have fun with it! The overall objective with the indicator is to help you plan for your portfolio and not necessarily to manage your portfolio. If you have a few stocks you are looking at and contemplating investing in, this will help you run some theoretical scenarios with this stock based on historical performance and also help give you a feel of how it will perform in the future based on past behaviour.
It is important to remember that past behaviour does not indicate future behaviour, but the indicator provides you with tools to get a feel for how a stock has performed under various circumstances and get a general feel of the fundamentals of the company you could potentially be investing in.
Please note, this indicator is not meant to replace full, fundamental analyses of individual companies. It is simply meant to give you a "gist" of how companies are fundamentally and how they have performed historically.
I hope you enjoy it!
Safe trades everyone!
Consensio Allocation ToolOriginally created and taught by Taylor Jenks, this indicator provides portfolio allocation suggestions based on the behaviour of price and 3 simple moving averages (4/10/40 by default)
(ie. when short & medium term SMAs are above the long term then allocation is to be 100%).
This percentage allocated to the stock/commodity is to be reduced as it passes below the SMA's, particularly as each moving average crosses.
Consensio is useful for scaling in and out of a position as the portfolio allocation will change according to the momentum of the asset.
The rules below are my own based on understanding of the trading system developed by Jenks and his online content.
This script has the following rules:
if fastAboveSlowMA and not mediumAboveSlowMA
allocation := 30.0
else if longAboveFastMA
allocation := 0.0
else if fastAboveMediumMA and fastAboveSlowMA
allocation := 100.0
else if not fastAboveMediumMA and fastAboveSlowMA
allocation := 80.0
else if not fastAboveMediumMA and not fastAboveSlowMA
allocation := 50.0
else if not mediumAboveSlowMA and fastAboveSlowMA
allocation := 50.0
// Calculate adjusted allocation percentage based on crossing moving averages
allocation := allocation + (priceAboveFastMA ? 10.0 : -10.0)
allocation := allocation + (priceAboveMediumMA ? 10.0 : -10.0)

Position Size Calc. (Minimalist)This is a simplified position size calculator in the form of a table.
The reason I published this script is because all other position size calculator scripts try to provide way too much when it should be much simpler, position in strange areas of the chart and leave unwanted chart pollution.
This is a bare-bones functional table that takes your risk level, entry, stop and take profit as inputs, and calculates your loss, profit and required position size for your chosen risk level as a result.
Inspired by a table type position size calculator made by DojiEmoji design/color-wise. Functionally different however.
I hope you find this script useful and include it on your trading journey.
