Underlying Principles and Assumptions

Leverage Calculation
The leverage calculation is fundamental to risk management in trading. It ensures that the risk per trade does not exceed a specified percentage of the portfolio. This calculation takes into account the potential loss from the entry price to the stop loss level, adjusted for trading fees. By dividing the maximum acceptable loss by the total potential loss (including fees), we derive a leverage that limits the exposure per trade. This approach helps traders avoid over-leveraging, which can lead to significant losses.

ATR and Stop Loss
The Average True Range (ATR) is used to set stop loss levels because it measures market volatility. A higher ATR indicates more volatility, which means wider stop losses are needed to avoid being prematurely stopped out by normal market fluctuations. By using an ATR multiplier, the stop loss is dynamically adjusted based on current market conditions, providing a more robust risk management strategy.

Take Profit Calculation
The take profit level is calculated as a multiple of the ATR, ensuring that it is set at a realistic level relative to market volatility. This method aims to capture significant price movements while avoiding the noise of smaller fluctuations. Setting take profit targets this way helps in locking in profits when the market moves favorably.

RSI for Trend Confirmation
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is used to confirm the trend direction. An RSI above 50 typically indicates a bullish trend, while an RSI below 50 indicates a bearish trend. By aligning trades with the prevailing trend, the script increases the probability of successful trades. This trend confirmation helps in making informed decisions about leverage and position sizing.

Risk Color Coding
The script uses color coding to visually indicate the risk level and trend direction. Green indicates a favorable condition for long trades, red for short trades, and gray for neutral conditions. This intuitive color coding aids in quickly assessing the market conditions and making timely trading decisions.

Conclusion

This script aims to provide a comprehensive risk management tool for traders. By integrating portfolio size, leverage, fees, ATR, and RSI, it helps in making informed trading decisions. We hope you find this tool useful in your trading journey.

Happy Trading!
