CUT MY LOSSESS - Levereged Stop loss + R / R ratio checker Hello traders!
We have heard many times that keep your losses small and allow your profits to grow. But what happens is that we often make the mistake of doing high-margin trades that we cannot afford to lose. The main reason for this problem, in my opinion, is the rush to open a position and not paying attention to how much acceptable loss in each trade is for us? Is our stop loss point compatible with the loss we are willing to accept?
Many of the losses we incur are not due to our erroneous analysis but to the wrong trading strategy, miscalculation of Stop Loss and failure to calculate the Risk/Reward for each trade. At least for most novice traders, these mistakes happen .
This script does not have complicated logic and is designed only as a help for those who are not interested in working with calculators !! I hope that sometimes that we are very excited to buy, looking at this script can give us a serious flip to avoid risk .
This is a basic script that helps us to intuitively check our stop loss in according to our leverage and to guess the approximate risk/reward of our trade. This script assumes that you always trade with half of your total capital. It is also assumed that you routinely use up to ten percent of your capital for each trade. Therefore, the first variable in this script is the amount of tolerable loss in each trade for you, which is set to 25% by default. So if you follow the previous assumptions, each trade will endanger 2.5% of your capital.
Since not all analyzes are ever accurate, we need to enter into positions that have good Risk/Reward ratio, so that even if half of our analysis fails, we will profitable. Therefore, the second variable in this script is the acceptable Risk/Reward ratio for us, which is set to 1:4 by default.
Also, to check the efficiency of the stop-loss with different trading leverage, I add five leverage by default from 1 to 5 as lines on the side of your stop-loss point.
LeV A (Lowest Leverage-WHITE): 1 by default
LeV B (AQUA): 2 by default
LeV C (YELLOW): 3 by default
LeV D (ORANGE): 4 by default
LeV E (Highest Leverage-RED):5 by default
You can change all these leverages and Acceptable margin loss and R/R ratio according to your needs.
You can also hide the leverage lines you are not dealing with through the script settings .
You will also see lines on the side of your target point to check your risk/reward ,so you can approximate your target according to your trading leverage and the risk/reward you accept. you can also hide these R/R lines from the setting.
Important Note: This script is not designed to give you a stop loss point or take profit point.
To find these points, you must use technical analysis methods , and then use this script to check the coordination of these points with your trading strategy.
Using the script is simple, but I will try to explain it with a few examples.
Riskreward
Auto Position Sizing Risk RewardThe Auto Position Sizing Risk Reward indicator shows different Risk levels 1, 1.5, 2 and 3 based on your risk amount and uses an auto Stoploss level based on the ATR.
You can set the values for the "Note or Title", "Risk Amount", "Entry", "Target Price", "Stop Loss Distance", "Default Risk/Reward" and ATR settings.
The "auto" part comes into play when you haven't yet set an Entry value, which will make everything update according to the latest Closing price of the asset.
Once you set the Entry price, the Risk/Reward levels will stop updating their positions and stay in place. This allows you to dynamically see your potential Risk/Reward as the market progresses, as well as locking in your Risk/Reward levels once you are ready to enter a position.
Your Position Size as well as actual Stoploss level and Cost is displayed along with the other values in the textbox that floats next to the R/R levels.
This indicator was inspired by and relies heavily on the work done by zzzcrypto123 and NXT2017 in their indicators, but I felt that this version is unique enough to hopefully be of use to the general community.
I hope this helps you to trade better! Please feel free to improve it and provide suggestions.
Position Size CalculatorThis is a script to make calculating position size easier. It calculates position size as a percentage of account balance and Risk/Reward based on input values of entry, exit, stoploss and shows the R/R box similar to tradingview's R/R tool. There is an option to toggle showing label and choosing of label text color.
Have to enter the following inputs in order for it to work properly
1. Account Balance : Account balance in either whatever is base currency of account
2. Risk % : Percentage of account balance to lose if stop is hit.
3. Entry
4. Stoploss
5. Target Price
Notes:
- Target Price is required for calculating R/R but is not necessary to calculate position size.
- Formula to calculate position size is : Balance * Risk % / SL %
- Formula to calculate R/R is : TP % / SL %
- SL % = ( Entry - SL ) / Entry * 100
- TP % = (TP - Entry ) / Entry * 100
Thanks to u/Chonky_ for help with feedback.
BEST Risk to Reward UtilityHello Traders
This is a proof of concept and a cool pinescript utility
It displays a risk to reward division as a fractional value.
For example
Risk: 300
Reward: 600
This will be displayed as 1/2 as we can earn 2 units for a potential loss of 1 unit
(600/300 = 2) for those wondering the NASA level mathematics behind :)
Best regards

Profit and Stoploss CalculatorThis script is designed to display three stop loss areas to assist either with automation of risk management or identify and alert when price is in a range of a trade for risk to reward ratio.
In this version there are three stop losses and 1 PT. Mainly because i will most likely only be using 1 of the SL to pair with the PT.
Stoploss areas are displayed on both sides of the price for long and short calculations along with the two profit factors but the settings in the indicator it self apply to both sides in terms of percentage.
ATR based Stop and Take-Profit levels in realtime Little tool to quickly identify stops and take-profit levels based on Average True Range. User can change ATR multipiers, as well as the ATR length used. Green and red lines show these levels; plot is visible over last 8 bars only to reduce clutter. Label showing the current ATR, up above the last bar
Custom position sizerThis is a simple script to aid with determining position size.
Inputs are the intended entry price, desired risk (expressed as % of account at risk), account value, and leverage factor.
To use the script;
1. Identify and update the entry price (yellow line on the chart)
2. Update with desired risk
3. Update with account size
4. Adjust the leverage value until the stop loss (red line on chart for long positions, green line for short positions) reaches the desired value/location on the chart
The label will then update to show the required position size for the trade.
Risk/Reward (InfoPanel)Hello ladies (if any in my followers ?) and gentlemen
Here's your indicator of the day and once again given for FREE. What I'm going to say to my landlord if I can't pay rent because I'm not asking for $$ ?
I'll probably send the next indicators from below the town brige. Even then... I will still comply with my challenge to share 1 original indicator a day and not a copy of what already exists
The today indicator is to show you the great possibilites behind the TradingView Label object : Label
Profit And Loss LABEL
I thought about that one for a while and wanted to share how we can calculate dynamically a Risk to Reward ratio .
This indicator is not based on the price on the chart. I repeat before getting the question asked me privately 10 times This indicator is not based on the price on the chart.
"Then it's not useful dude, you're dumb". I agree and.... I agree... BUT you can now calculate your Risk to Reward ratio on TradingView directly rather than using an external Excel file. Who's dumb now :) ?
For those curious about it, I used this formula for the R:R ratio formula Calculating-risk-reward.asp
It will also display the Profit and Loss data based on your inputs only
ERRORS LABEL
I also added some basic errors management. If any error occur when you'll type your inputs, then a very mean Error label will appear and you'll have to fix the issues in less than a few seconds.
Otherwise your computer will explode (KABOOOOM) and your trading capital will be redirected to my own insurance fund (I have a family to feed, thanks for your sacrifices)
(end of joke)
In more seriousness, the engine will check if the TP1/TP2/Stop Loss/Entry price combinaisons makes sense. If not, you''ll be punished with an error label.
You can use this methodology for your own indicators in the futur to display dynamic messages based on users' inputs and/or current price on the chart
The educational video giving more details is coming right up.
You can watch it and should be located under "IDEAS"
Wshing you all a very fruitful end of your day and see you tomorrow for the last indicator of the week (baby David is tired and need his rest)

2R overlay positive biasHere is a pretty clean 2R - risk reward assessment that is overlaid on the price action. Positive bias, kind of lazy on the release but you can edit to change look back period or drop into one of your indicator edits as another metric for trade risk. If this helps drop a comment or thumbs up.
