0.75% Rule - Trade Projection

18. Juni

A position-sizing and reward-projection overlay for discretionary traders.
You place an entry and a stop on the chart, and the script returns the
position size that risks a fixed fraction of your account, then projects
your reward targets as R-multiples. Direction (long or short) is inferred
from where you click. The focus is getting currency-correct sizing right
with as little input as possible, and catching the sizing mistakes that
quietly distort risk.

📊 What it does
- Sizes the trade so the entry-to-stop distance equals a fixed percentage
of account equity. Default is 0.75%, a conservative fixed-fractional
risk rule, but the percentage is adjustable.
- Reports the result in the correct unit for the instrument: lots and
units for forex, or contracts/shares sized off point value elsewhere.
- Projects a configurable number of reward targets spaced in R-multiples
(1R, 2R, 3R ...), each labeled with its R-multiple and the reward amount
in your account currency.
- Draws the risk zone (entry to stop) and reward zones, plus an info panel
summarizing account, risk, direction, stop distance, size and R:R.

⚙️ How it works
- Risk amount = account size x risk %. Position size = risk amount /
(stop distance x point value x conversion rate). For forex this is
converted into standard lots.
- Direction is read from the two clicks: a stop below entry is a long,
a stop above entry is a short.
- Instrument detection is automatic (forex, JPY pairs, metals, index,
crypto) via symbol info, with a manual override if you need it.
- Account-to-quote currency conversion is explicit and manual. The
account-currency dropdown is a display label only; the single field
that adjusts lot size is the conversion rate. The panel flags the two
mistakes that actually distort risk: leaving the rate at 1.0 on a
mismatched pair, and applying a non-1.0 rate when the currencies match.
- An optional ATR-based stop can override the clicked stop (length and
multiplier adjustable). Direction still comes from your clicks.
- Repaint-free by construction: no higher-timeframe requests, entry and
stop are static prices, and all drawing is deterministic.

📋 How to use it
1. Add the script. It prompts you to click an entry price, then a stop.
2. Set account size and risk % in settings (default 0.75%).
3. If your account currency differs from the pair's quote currency, enter
the conversion rate (account currency per one unit of quote currency).
The panel warns you when a rate is needed.
4. Read position size, R:R and target levels from the panel and on-chart
labels.
5. For a new setup, open the indicator menu, choose Reset points, then
re-click entry and stop. The Re-arm toggle pauses the current
projection so a stale setup cannot mislead you.

## Notes
- This is a planning and risk-discipline tool, not a signal generator and
not financial advice. It does not place trades.
- For non-forex instruments, sanity-check the point value against your
broker's contract specs before trusting the size.
- Inputs are absolute prices, so after switching symbols you may need to
re-click entry and stop. The script detects an off-scale setup and
prompts you.

### Release Notes: Cross-Symbol Validation Patch

- Dynamic Boundaries: Tracks historical highs/lows using var variables that automatically reinitialize on symbol changes.
- Volatility Buffer: Applies an adaptive threshold of max(3% of range, 1.5×ATR) around the asset's actual range.
- Stale Input Intercept: Forces a stale_inputs validation prompt if a clicked coordinate falls outside boundaries, preventing cross-symbol data contamination and safeguarding execution sizing.

Release Notes: Cross-Symbol Validation Patch v2 — Recent-Range Boundaries & Symbol Stamping

- Recent-Range Boundaries: Replaces all-time historical high/low tracking with a rolling recent window (300 bars, scales with timeframe). The prior all-time range proved too permissive — a pair's older extremes widened the band enough that a same-scale carryover (e.g. a USDJPY click near 161 surviving on EURJPY, which itself traded there years ago) still fell inside it. Boundaries now track where price currently is, not where it traded in the distant past.

- Wider Adaptive Buffer: Threshold loosened to max(50% of recent range, 4×ATR), so legitimate setups near current price — wide stops, pullback entries — are never falsely flagged, while a coordinate parked far from price still trips.

- Active-Symbol Stamping: The current ticker is now printed on the info panel header, the on-chart summary block, and the stale-input prompt. Acts as a visual backstop for the one case boundaries can't resolve — two symbols whose recent ranges overlap — so a carried-over setup is obvious at a glance.

- Stale Input Intercept (retained): A clicked coordinate outside the boundaries still pauses the projection and forces a re-click, preventing cross-symbol contamination of execution sizing.

Known limit: Pine cannot clear a price input or detect a click's origin symbol — this is a guard, not a hard lock. The symbol stamp and the Re-arm toggle remain the guaranteed manual reset.

Info panel: solid background + adjustable opacity
Added a background fill to the info panel so the readout stays legible over active price action (previously the rows were transparent and candles/gridlines showed through). New "Panel background opacity" input lets you set it from solid to see-through. Minor comment cleanup; no change to sizing or projection logic.
