Risk Guard - Position Size & Risk CeilingWhat it does
Risk Guard sizes your position from the risk you are willing to take, and tells you immediately when that risk goes above the limit you set for yourself.
Most position size calculators stop at the arithmetic. This one adds the part that actually protects an account: a ceiling.
Why a ceiling
Many traders do not use a fixed risk per trade. They size up on strong setups and down on weak ones. That flexibility is fine, until one trade quietly goes far beyond what the account can absorb.
Risk Guard separates the two:
- Risk for THIS trade is what you are taking right now, and it can change every time.
- Your risk ceiling is your rule, and it does not change.
When the first goes above the second, the table switches to the alert colour and says so plainly.
How to use it
1. Add the indicator. It displays straight away, using the current price and one ATR as demonstration values, so you never face an empty table.
2. Open the settings and enter your own Entry and Stop in the Trade group. Add a Target if you want R:R.
3. Set your account size, the risk for this trade, and your ceiling.
4. Pick the sizing mode and the pip size that match your instrument.
Sizing modes
Lots: gold, forex, CFD. Set the contract size (XAUUSD standard is 100 oz per lot, forex standard is 100000).
Units: crypto and spot.
Whichever you pick, the position size is shown with its unit spelled out and the other unit in brackets, so it cannot be misread.
What it shows
Direction, account size, trade risk against your ceiling, amount at risk, stop distance in price and in pips, position size, R:R and gain at target.
Customisation
Every colour is configurable: header within limit, header when the ceiling is passed, table background, text, position size value, and the entry, stop and target lines. Text size, border width and table position can also be changed.
Notes
Pip size is a setting, not a guess: gold 0.1, forex majors 0.0001, JPY pairs 0.01, and 0 to hide pips on crypto.
The calculation is exact when the quote currency matches your account currency. On crosses where it does not, treat the result as an approximation.
This is a planning tool. It does not place orders and does not read your broker account.

Risk & Position-Size Calculator : Futures/Prop | Falcon AIStop blowing accounts to oversized positions. This free tool tells you EXACTLY
how many contracts to trade so a stop-out only costs the dollars you decided to
risk — on any futures symbol (MNQ, MES, NQ, ES, MGC, CL and more). It auto-detects
each contract's point value, so the math is always right.
It shows:
• Position size (contracts) for your account + risk %
• Your real $ risk, $/point, and 2R / 3R targets
• Prop-firm guardrails: how many losing trades until you breach your daily-loss
limit or trailing drawdown
• Prior-day high/low for context
Set your account size, risk %, and stop (manual or ATR-based) — it does the rest.

Position Sizer (Share Qty)
This indicator enables fast & accurate position sizing for traders using (user defined) fixed dollar risk, eliminating the need for manual calculations and supporting disciplined risk management directly on the chart
Calculates precise share quantity for fixed-risk trades using the formula Shares = Risk Amount / (Current Price – Stop Price), rounded to the nearest whole share, updating in real time on every bar
Offers two dynamic stop-loss options: Low of Day (LoD) — tracked only during Regular Trading Hours (9:30 AM – 4:00 PM ET) with automatic daily reset — or Low of Week (LoW) via weekly timeframe data
Displays all critical trade data in a clean, customizable on-screen table showing: Risk Amount, Stop Loss type (LoD/LoW), Stop Price, and calculated Shares Qty
Allows full table placement control with four corner positions with optional Top Offset and Bottom Offset (0–20 blank rows each) to prevent overlap with price action or other indicators
Provides complete visual styling control for header text/background, value text/background, and share quantity text/background
Ensures efficient rendering by recreating the table only when position, row count, or layout changes, deleting the prior instance to avoid flicker or memory issues
Handles edge cases safely: shows 0 shares if stop is 'na' or above current price, and initializes LoD only on the first RTH bar of each session
For use on equities only (table will not display on futures instruments)
--
Future improvements:
Visual Stop Loss line for either LoD or LoW
Functionality and toggle to include Extended hours (PM /AH) for LoD stop pricing

Index Position Size Calculator for [US30 / US100 / SP500]What it does
This tool helps you size positions consistently for index trades on US30 (Dow Jones), NAS100 (Nasdaq-100), and SP500 (S&P 500). Enter your account balance, risk %, and your planned Entry / Stop-Loss / Target and the script calculates:
• Position Size (rounded to your lot/contract step)
• Risk-to-Reward (R/R)
• Potential P/L in USD based on your inputs
• Visual Entry / SL / TP lines with green/red zones and concise labels
Supported contract styles
Choose a preset for common products (e.g., CFD $1/pt, YM/NQ/ES futures, MYM/MNQ/MES micros) or override the economics yourself. You remain in control of the two key levers:
• $/point — how many dollars you gain/lose per 1 index point per contract/lot
• Point size — how many price units equal 1 index point on your chart (often 1.0, but some brokers use 0.1 or 0.5)
Inputs
• Account Balance ($) and Risk % per trade
• Index: US30 / NAS100 / SP500
• Contract: CFD / Futures (YM, NQ, ES) / Micros (MYM, MNQ, MES)
• $/point: auto from Contract or manual override
• Point size: auto from Index or manual override
• Position size step: rounding (e.g., 1 for futures, 0.01 for CFDs)
• Entry / SL / TP: typed values (snapped to tick), with on-chart zones and labels
• Display toggles for lines and labels
How the math works
• StopPoints = |Entry − SL| ÷ PointSize
• ProfitPoints = |TP − Entry| ÷ PointSize
• Position Size = (AccountBalance × Risk%) ÷ (StopPoints × $/point)
• R/R = ProfitPoints ÷ StopPoints
• Potential P/L = PositionSize × Points × $/point
How to use (quick start)
1. Select Index and Contract.
2. Confirm $/point and Point size match your broker’s specs.
3. Enter Entry / SL / TP for the trade idea.
4. Read the Position Size, R/R, and Potential P/L in the info box.
5. Adjust for fees, spreads, and slippage as needed.
Notes & limitations
• Broker symbols can vary. Always verify $/point and Point size for your instrument before risking capital.
• The script does not place orders and does not generate trade signals; it’s a sizing/visualization tool.
• Results can differ across brokers due to pricing, spreads, minimum lot sizes, and execution rules.
• Use on the intended indices; you’ll see a reminder if you load it elsewhere.
Changelog highlights
• Pine v6, constant-safe inputs, tick-snapping, global fills (no local-scope errors).
