✦ PROP FIRM CHALLENGE SIZING
Two clean methods to work within your max drawdown limit.
Method 1 — Loss budget split
Divide your max loss by how many consecutive losses you can afford. Enter that result as Account Size with Risk at 100%.
Example: $2,000 max loss ÷ 5 losses → Account Size $400, Risk 100%
Method 2 — Direct percentage
Enter your full max loss as Account Size and set your per-trade risk percentage directly.
Example: $2,000 max loss, 20% per trade → Account Size $2,000, Risk 20%
Both give the same result — use whichever feels natural.

✦ HOW THIS WAS BUILT
Developed step by step through real trading feedback, not theory.
Started as a basic calculator with manual tick inputs. Then came the asset dropdown with hardcoded CME values, smart rounding, exact click-point line rendering, the auto 1-handle SL buffer with price labels, real-time USD risk display, stop distance row, and finally a full dark panel redesign with colour-coded values and direction detection.
Every feature exists because a real trade needed it.

VIX Crossing# VIX Crossing Strategy
## Overview
VIX Crossing is a quantitative trading strategy that combines volatility signals from the VIX index with trend confirmation from the Nasdaq-100 (NDX) to generate long entry signals. The strategy employs multiple exit conditions to manage risk and lock in profits systematically.
## Strategy Logic
### Entry Condition
The strategy initiates a long position when:
- **VIX Crossunder**: The VIX closing price crosses below its 5-bar simple moving average (SMA), signaling a decrease in implied volatility
- **AND NDX Confirmation**: The Nasdaq-100 closes above its 21-bar exponential moving average (EMA), confirming uptrend strength
This dual-signal approach reduces false entries by requiring both volatility normalization and positive market momentum.
### Exit Conditions
The strategy automatically closes positions when any of the following conditions are met:
1. **VIX Crossover (Volatility Exit)**: VIX closes above its SMA, indicating rising volatility
2. **Time-Based Exit**: Position is force-closed after 10 bars from entry, preventing prolonged drawdowns
3. **Take-Profit Exit**: Position closes when unrealized profit exceeds $3,000 per contract
4. **Stop-Loss Exit**: Position closes when unrealized loss exceeds $1,500 per contract
Exit conditions are evaluated each bar while the position is open, with explicit logging of the exit reason for trade analysis.
## Configuration Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Purpose |
|-----------|---------|---------|
| VIX SMA Length | 5 | Smoothing period for VIX volatility baseline |
| NDX EMA Length | 21 | Smoothing period for Nasdaq-100 trend confirmation |
| Force Close After X Bars | 10 | Maximum holding period in bars |
| TP Amount per Contract | $3,000 | Profit target per contract |
| SL Amount per Contract | $1,500 | Loss limit per contract |
## Risk Management Features
- **Position Sizing**: Capital allocation based on profit/loss per contract rather than fixed units, allowing for scalable risk
- **Dual Risk Controls**: Combined time-based and price-based exits prevent extended exposure
- **Profit Asymmetry**: 2:1 profit-to-loss ratio encourages risk/reward discipline
- **Contract-Based Accounting**: Profit targets and stop losses scale with position size
## Capital Requirements
- **Initial Capital**: $50,000
- **Commission**: $3 per contract (cash-based)
- **Instrument**: Designed for index-based derivatives or equities with liquid options markets
## Technical Indicators Used
- Simple Moving Average (SMA) for VIX smoothing
- Exponential Moving Average (EMA) for NDX trend detection
- Crossover/Crossunder detection for signal generation
## Underlying Assumptions
1. VIX crossunder events represent mean-reversion opportunities in Nasdaq-heavy portfolios
2. NDX EMA confirmation filters out uncorrelated volatility spikes
3. 10-bar holding period aligns with typical mean-reversion timeframes
4. Contract-based profit targets accommodate varying leverage levels

NQ 300+ Point Day Checklist (Bias + Alerts + Markers)This indicator helps identify high-range (≥300-point) days on Nasdaq-100 futures (NQ / MNQ) using a clear, rule-based checklist.
It evaluates volatility, compression, price displacement, prior-day structure, and overnight activity to generate a daily expansion score (0–6). Higher scores signal an increased likelihood of a strong trending or expansion day.
The script also provides:
Expansion probability levels (Normal / Watch / High-Prob)
Bullish, bearish, or neutral bias
On-chart markers and background highlights
Optional alerts for early awareness
Best used on the Daily timeframe to help traders focus on high-opportunity days and avoid overtrading during consolidation.
This is a context and probability tool — not a trade signal.
