VASA Position Size & ATR Stop vF

256
Most blown accounts come down to one thing: size, not signal. This tool does the math the pros do before every trade. Tell it your account size and how much you're willing to risk on the trade (1% is a sane default), and it places a stop a set number of ATRs away, then tells you exactly how many units that risk budget allows.

What it does: • ATR-based stop distance, long or short • Position size from your account size and risk % • On-chart table: entry, stop, stop distance, dollar risk, units • Entry and stop lines drawn on the chart • No signals, nothing to repaint — it's a calculator

How to use: set your account size and risk % once. Pick your entry (defaults to the current close, or type one in). Read the position size off the table and use it. The idea is boring on purpose — fixed fractional risk is how you survive a losing streak long enough for your edge to show up. Plan from a closed bar so the ATR reading is settled.

Educational only — not financial advice. Position sizing does not remove market risk. Trading involves substantial risk of loss.
