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.

## How to add to your chart
1. In PulseWire, open **Indicators** (or search **“Risk Management”** / **“Finpip Risk Manager”**).
2. Select **Risk Management & Position size calculator (FinPip)** and add it to the chart.
3. Open **Settings** (gear on the indicator label) to set your capital, risk %, entry price, and stop-loss price.
---
## What you get
- **Entry, Stop-Loss & Take-Profit** — Drawn as horizontal lines on the chart (direction is Long if Entry > SL, Short if Entry < SL).
- **Position size** — Number of units (shares, lots, contracts) so that if price hits your SL, you lose only your chosen risk amount.
- **Info panel** — Capital, Risk %, Risk $, Reward $, R:R, Size (units), Risk/Unit, Entry/SL/TP prices, and direction. You can move the panel to any corner and change text size.
---
## Settings (inputs)
**Risk & Capital**
- **Total Account Capital ($)** — Capital used for risk (default 10000).
- **Risk per Trade (%)** — % of capital to risk on this trade (default 2.5%).
**Trade Levels**
- **Entry Price** — Your planned or actual entry.
- **Stop-Loss Price** — Exit price if the trade goes against you.
**Profit Target**
- **Reward:Risk Ratio** — Target as multiple of risk (e.g. 4 = 4R). TP is placed at Entry ± (SL distance × R:R).
**Display**
- **Show Info Panel** — On/off for the metrics table.
- **Round to Whole Shares/Units** — On for stocks/shares (whole numbers); off for forex/fractional.
- **Panel Position** — Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right.
- **Text Size** — Tiny / Small / Normal / Large.
- **Show Level Labels** — Price labels for Entry, SL, TP on the right.
**Colors** — Customize Entry, SL, TP lines and panel colors.
---
## How it’s calculated
- **Risk $** = Capital × (Risk % ÷ 100)
- **Risk per unit** = |Entry − Stop-Loss|
- **Position size** = Risk $ ÷ Risk per unit (optionally rounded down to whole units)
- **Take-profit** = Entry + (Risk per unit × R:R) for Long, or Entry − (…) for Short
- **Reward $** = Risk $ × R:R
---
## If something looks wrong
- **“Invalid setup — Entry and SL must be different prices”** — Your Entry and Stop-Loss are the same; change one of them.
- **“0 units (rounds to 0)”** — Risk $ is too small for the distance to SL with whole units. Increase capital or risk %, or turn off **Round to Whole Shares/Units** to see fractional size.

XAUUSD Lot Size Calculator1. What This Indicator Does
This tool is a Visual Risk Management System. Instead of using a calculator on your phone or switching tabs, it allows you to calculate the exact lot size for your trade directly on the PulseWire chart by dragging lines.
It automates the math for:
Lot Size: How big your position should be to risk exactly X% of your account.
Take Profit: Where your target should be based on your Risk-to-Reward ratio.
Safety Checks: It warns you if your stop loss is too tight for the minimum lot size (0.01).
2. Visual Features
🔴 The Red Line (Stop Loss): This is your interactive line. You can grab it with your mouse and drag it to your desired invalidation point (e.g., below a support wick).
🟢 The Green Line (Take Profit): This line moves automatically. You cannot drag it. It calculates where your Take Profit must be to satisfy your Risk:Reward ratio (Default 1:1) based on where you placed the Red line.
⚫ The Info Table: A high-contrast black box in the corner that displays your calculated Lot Size, Risk amount, and Trade direction (Long/Short).
3. How to Use It (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Initial Setup
When you first add the indicator to the chart, you need to tell it about your account:
Double-click the Black Table (or the Red Line) to open Settings.
Inputs Tab:
Account Balance: Enter your current trading balance (e.g., 10,000).
Risk %: Enter how much you want to lose per trade (e.g., 1.0%).
Contract Size: Keep this at 100 for Gold (XAUUSD) or standard Forex pairs.
Risk : Reward Ratio: Set your target (e.g., 1.0 for 1:1, or 2.0 for 1:2).
Step 2: Planning a Trade
Look at the chart and identify where you want to enter (current price) and where you want your Stop Loss.
Find the Red Line on your chart. (If you don't see it, go to Settings and change "Stop Loss Level" to a price near the current candle).
Click and Drag the Red Line to your specific Stop Loss price.
Step 3: Reading the Signals
Direction: If you drag the Red Line below the price, the table shows LONG. If you drag it above, it shows SHORT.
Lot Size: Read the big green number in the table (e.g., 0.55). This is the exact lot size you should enter in your broker.
TP Target: Look at the Green Line on the chart. That is your exit price.
Step 4: The "Orange Warning"
If you place your Stop Loss very close to the entry, or if your account is small, the math might suggest a lot size smaller than is possible (e.g., 0.004).
The table text will turn ORANGE.
The Lot Size will stick to 0.01 (the minimum).
The "Risk ($)" row will show you the actual risk. (Example: Instead of risking your desired $100, you might be forced to risk $105 because you can't trade smaller than 0.01 lots). Indicator

Position Size CalculatorPosition Size Calculator
This open-source Pine Script® indicator helps traders manage risk by calculating position size, margin, and risk/reward based on account size, leverage, entry, stop-loss, and take-profit. It features a customizable table and optional chart lines/labels for clear trade planning across stocks, forex, crypto, and futures.
What It Does
- Position Size: Computes units to trade based on risk percentage and stop-loss distance, capped by leverage.
- Margin: Calculates initial margin in base currency and USD, with account size percentage.
- Risk/Reward: Shows risk-reward ratio, percentage price movements, and USD gains/losses.
- Visualization: Displays results in a table and optional chart lines/labels with customizable styles.
How It Works
- Precision: Adjusts price formatting using syminfo.mintick for accuracy across assets.
- Calculations: Position size = accountSize * (riskPercent / 100) / |entry - stoploss|, capped by accountSize * leverage / entry. Margin = positionSize / leverage. Risk-reward = |takeprofit - entry| / |stoploss - entry|.
- Display: Table shows metrics; optional lines/labels plot entry, stop-loss, and take-profit with percentage and USD details.
How to Use
- Set Inputs:
1- Account Size (USD): Your capital (e.g., 1000).
2- % Risk per Trade: Risk tolerance (e.g., 1%).
3- Leverage: Broker leverage (e.g., 1x, 10x).
4- Entry, Stop Loss, Take Profit: Trade prices.
5- Show Lines and Labels: Enable chart overlays.
- Customize: Adjust table position, colors, and line styles (Solid, Dashed, Dotted).
- View Results: Table shows position size, margin, and risk/reward. Chart lines/labels (if enabled) display prices, percentages, and USD outcomes.
- Apply: Use metrics for trade execution; modify code for custom features.
Notes
- Ensure valid inputs (entry ≠ stop-loss, both positive) to avoid “N/A”.
- Open-source: Inspect or extend the code for your needs.
- Contact the author via PulseWire for feedback.

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. Indicator
Visual Range Position Size CalculatorVisual Range Position Size Calculator
The "VR Position Size Calculator" helps traders determine the appropriate position size based on their risk tolerance and the current market conditions. Below is a detailed description of the script, its functionality, and how to use it effectively.
---
Key Features
1. Risk Calculation: The script allows users to input their desired risk in monetary terms (in the currency of the ticker). It then calculates the position sizes for both long and short trades based on this risk.
2. Dynamic High and Low Tracking: The script dynamically tracks the highest and lowest prices within the visible range of the chart, allowing for more accurate position sizing.
3. Formatted Output: The calculated values are displayed in a user-friendly table format with thousands separators for better readability.
4. Visual Indicators: Dashed lines are drawn on the chart at the high and low points of the visible range, providing a clear visual reference for traders.
5. If the risk in security price is 1% or less, the background of the cells displaying position sizes will be green for long positions and red for short positions. If the risk is between 1% and 5%, the background changes to gray, indicating that the risk may be too high for an effective trade. If the risk exceeds 5% of the price, the text also turns gray, rendering it invisible, which signifies that there is no justification for such a trade.
---
Code Explanation
The script identifies the start and end times of the visible range on the chart, ensuring calculations are based only on the data currently in view. It updates and stores the highest (hh) and lowest (ll) prices within this visible range. At the end of the range, dashed lines are drawn at the high and low prices, providing a visual cue for traders.
Users can input their risk amount, which is then used to calculate potential position sizes for both long and short trades based on the current price relative to the tracked high and low. The calculated risk values and position sizes are displayed in a table on the right side of the chart, with color coding to indicate whether the calculated position size meets specific criteria.
---
Usage Instructions
1. Add the Indicator: To use this script, copy and paste it into Pine Script editor, then add it to your chart.
2. Input Your Risk: Adjust the 'Risk in money' input to reflect your desired risk amount for trading.
3. Analyze Position Sizes: Observe the calculated position sizes for both long and short trades displayed in the table. Use this information to guide your trading decisions.
4. Visual Cues: Utilize the dashed lines on the chart to understand recent price extremes within your visible range. Indicator
