Metatrader CalculatorThe “ Metatrader Calculator ” indicator calculates the position size, risk, and potential gain of a trade, taking into account the account balance, risk percentage, entry price, stop loss price, and risk/reward ratio. It supports the XAUUSD, XAGUSD, and BTCUSD pairs, automatically calculating the position size (in lots) based on these parameters. The calculation is displayed in a table on the chart, showing the lot size, loss in dollars, and potential gain based on the defined risk.

Nasan Risk Score & Postion Size Estimator** THE RISK SCORE AND POSITION SIZE WILL ONLY BE CALCUTAED ON DIALY TIMEFRAME NOT IN OTHER TIMEFRAMES.
The typically accepted generic rule for risk management is not to risk more than 1% - 2 % of the capital in any given trade. It has its own basis however it does not take into account the stocks historic & current performance and does not consider the traders performance metrics (like win rate, profit ratio).
The Nasan Risk Score & Position size calculator takes into account all the listed parameters into account and estimates a Risk %. The position size is calculated using the estimated risk % , current ATR and a dynamically adjusted ATR multiple (ATR multiple is adjusted based on true range's volatility and stocks relative performance).
It follows a series of calculations:
Unadjusted Nasan Risk Score = (Min Risk)^a + b*
Min Risk = ( 5 year weighted avg Annual Stock Return - 5 year weighted avg Annual Bench Return) / 5 year weighted avg Annual Max ATR%
Max Risk = ( 5 year weighted avg Annual Stock Return - 5 year weighted avg Annual Bench Return) / 5 year weighted avg Annual Min ATR%
The min and max return is calculated based on stocks excess return in comparison to the Benchmark return and adjusted for volatility of the stock.
When a stock underperforms the benchmark, the default is, it does not calculate a position size , however if we opt it to calculate it will use 1% for Min Risk% and 2% for Max Risk% but all the other calculations and scaling remain the same.
Rationale:
Stocks outperforming their benchmark with lower volatility (ATR%) score higher.
A stock with high returns but excessive volatility gets penalized.
This ensures volatility-adjusted performance is emphasized rather than absolute returns.
Depending on the risk preference aggressive or conservative
Aggressive Risk Scaling: a = max (m, n) and b = min (m, n)
Conservative Scaling: a = min (m, n) and b = max (m, n)
where n = traders win % /100 and m = 1 - (1/ (1+ profit ratio))
A default of 50% is used for win factor and 1.5 for profit ratio.
Aggressive risk scaling increases exposure when the strategy's strongest factor is favorable.
Conservative risk scaling ensures more stable risk levels by focusing on the weaker factor.
The Unadjusted Nasan risk is score is further refined based on a tolerance factor which is based on the stocks maximum annual drawdown and the trader's maximum draw down tolerance.
Tolerance = /100
The correction factor (Tolerance) adjusts the risk score based on downside risk. Here's how it works conceptually:
The formula calculates how much the stock's actual drawdown exceeds your acceptable limit.
If stocks maximum Annual drawdown is smaller than Trader's maximum acceptable drawdown % , this results in a positive correction factor (indicating the drawdown is within your acceptable range and increases the unadjusted score.
If stocks maximum Annual drawdown exceeds Trader's maximum acceptable drawdown %, the correction factor will decrease (indicating that the downside risk is greater than what you are comfortable with, so it will adjust the risk exposure).
Once the Risk Score (numerically equal to Risk %) The position size is calculated based on the current market conditions.
Nasan Risk Score (Risk%) = Unadjusted Nasan Risk Score * Tolerance.
Position Size = (Capital * Risk% )/ ATR-Multiplier * ATR
The ATR Multiplier is dynamically adjusted based on the stocks recent relative performance and the variability of the true range itself. It would range between 1 - 3.5.
The multiplier widens when conditions are not favorable decreasing the position size and increases position size when conditions are favorable.
This Calculation /Estimate Does not give you a very different result than the arbitrary 1% - 2%. However it does fine tune the % based on sock performance, traders performance and tolerance level.
The Ultimate Lot Size Calculator Backstory
I created this Pine Script tool to calculate lot sizes with precision. While there are many lot size calculators available on TradingView, I found that most had significant flaws. I started teaching myself Pine Script over three and a half years ago with the sole purpose of building this tool. My first version was messy and lacked accuracy, so I never published it. I wanted it to be better than any other available tool, but my limited knowledge back then held me back.
Recently, I received a request to create a similar tool, as the current options still fail to deliver the precision and reliability traders need. This inspired me to revisit my original idea. With improved skills and a better understanding of Pine Script, I redesigned the tool from scratch, making it as precise, reliable, and efficient as possible.
This tool features built-in error detection to minimize mistakes and ensure accuracy in lot size calculations. I've spent more time on this project than on any other, focusing on delivering a solution that stands out on TradingView. While I plan to add more features based on user feedback, the current version is already a powerful, dependable, and easy-to-use tool for traders who value precision and efficiency in their lot size calculations.
How to use the tool ?
At first it might seem complicated, but it is quite easy to use the tool. There are two modes: auto and manual. By default, the tool is set on manual mode. When you apply the tool on the chart, it will ask you to choose the entry price, then the stop-loss price, and at last the take-profit price. Select all of them one by one. These values can be changed later.
Settings
There are various setting given for making the tool as flexible as possible. Here is the explanation for some of most important settings. Play with them and make yourself comfortable.
General settings
Auto mode : Use this mode if you want the the risk reward to be fixed and stop loss to be based on ATR. However the stop loss can be changed to be based on user input.
Manual mode : Use this mode if you want full control over entry, stop loss and take profit.
Contract Size : The tool works perfectly for all forex pairs including gold and silver but as the contract size is different for different assets it is difficult to add every single asset into the script manually so i have provided this option. In case you want to calculate lot size for a asset other then forex, gold or silver make sure to change this. Contract size = Quantity of the asset in 1 standerd lot.
Account settings
Automatic mode settings and ATR stop settings
Manual mode settings
Table and risk-reward box settings are pretty much self-explanatory i guess.
Error handling
A lot size calculator is a complex program. There are numerous points where it may fail and produce incorrect results. To make it robust and accurate, these issues must be addressed and managed properly, which practically all existing lot size calculator scripts fail to do.
Golden tip
When the symbol is changed it will display a symbol change warning as the entry, stop loss and take profit price won't change.
There are 2 ways to get fix this. Either manually enter all three values which i hate the most or remove the script from the chart and re-apply the script on chart again.
So to re-apply the indicator in most easy way follow the following instructions:
Note : If you encounter any other error then read the instruction to fix it and if it is an unknow error pleas report it to me in comments or DM.

Ultimate risk management toolHow to use:
Use the cursor to select the time, entry, stop loss, and target position. Then a window will pop up and type the trading fee or any other things you want to adjust to calculate the actual reward/risk ratio according to the price you selected.
Known error:
Settings of this script can't be saved as default might due to the interactive price selection function. If anyone knows how to fix it, please let me know.
feature:
1. Dynamic profit label can move up and down vertically on the right-hand side of the box.
2. The breakeven line can tell you you can move your stop loss to the entry price when the price reaches it.
3. Calculate the actual reward/risk ratio based on the trading fee. The calculator only calculates the actual Risk/Reward Ratio, which might be helpful for scalpers.
4. When the price touches sl or tp, that side of the box will be highlighted. Sometimes it doesn't work but I will try my best to fix it. Feel free to share your idea to help me to fix it.
5. Price alert. This tool compares with the alert function but reopens it if you want to change the alert price.
ATR SL + Position Size Calculator [DoctaBot]Props to @Veryfid for his original script 'ATR Stop Loss Finder'.
The concept is simple. We use the average true range to determine an appropriate stop loss distance based on recent volatility. The original script calculated the stop loss offset from the current candle's high or low. Here, I've added the option to offset stop loss from the recent local low or local high (a better way in my opinion).
I have also added a feature to automatically calculate position size by either dollar amount or as a percent of your account size to suit your risk profile (percent of account at risk per trade). This calculator supports use of leverage to calculate the amount of margin required to open desired position size.

ATR Position Size AutomationAll you have to fill out is your account balance, the % amount of your account you want to risk, and the percentage of ATR you want calculated. If you have 100% it will do a full ATR calculation. So if the ATR is $2 then your risk per share would be $2. If you had 50% in the same example it would be risking $1 per share.
You can also customize what time frame you want the ATR to be calculating off of. Just be aware the calculation will only be right if you are showing a lower time frame on your chart then the one selected on the indicator. (If you are calculating a daily dont be on a weekly chart. You have to be on a Daily or lower)
You can select what boxes you want displayed and if you want the ATR lines on the chart.

Disclaimer: I do my best to avoid wrong calculations and bugs. I provide this indicator without warranties of any kind. You bear all risks associated with the use of this indicator.
Inputs:
Market: Adds a name tag to the Table to keep track of the trades.
Entry Price: The entry Price of the Position.
Entry Time: The entry Time/Candle of the Position. If Stop Loss Type is 'ATR' or 'HH/LL' the Value for this is calculated by this Candle.
Stop Loss Type: Changes the Stop Loss Type.
Direction: Define if the trade direction is 'Long' or 'Short'. Has no effect on Stop Loss Type 'Custom'. For this you can just set the Stop Loss below/above the Entry Price .
ATR Multiplier: Multiplies the ATR Value by this number. Has only an effect on Stop Loss Type 'ATR'.
HH/LL Lookback Length: Lookback length for determine Highest High/Lowest Low value. Has only an effect on Stop Loss Type 'HH/LL'.
Custom SL Price: The Stop Loss Price if the Stop Loss Type is set to 'Custom'.
Risk Reward Ratio: The Risk is multiplied by this number to determine the Take Profit Price.
Balance: Balance Amount and Currency
Contract Size: The Position Size is divided by this number. E.G. in Forex one Lot is 100.000 Contracts. Change this Value depending on your Broker and Market.
Risk in %: Percent that is risked of the Balance for one Trade.
Position Size By Risk For Bar SizeThis simple script provides a way of calculating position size on a bar by bar basis for a fixed risk amount.
If you are trading a fixed risk amount (e.g. $100) per trade and your Entry and Stop is defined by a specific bar on the chart (any resolution e.g. 15 min, 5 min, 2 min etc) then this indicator will show you the position size you can take.
The user configures the risk amount per trade in the setting for the indicator, the default is 100 (e.g. $100).
It calculates each bar size (high - low) for the resolution of the chart that is being viewed.
The position size = (risk amount) / (bar size).
It then displays a "." (dot) for each bar and to see the position size hover your mouse over this dot .
The pane for this indicator can be set to the top of the chart by using the "Move pane up" option on the chart so that the indicator is easily accessible and discrete at the top of the chart.
Also, there is an option to use this indicator as a substitute for the built-in volume display.
