Overview
This script calculates position size in units (shares, contracts, etc) given a target volatility contribution of the position and a nominal portfolio size.
The calculation is based on a volatility forecast obtained from the exponentially weighted historical volatility. The user can input the half-life of the exponential weighted scheme.
The indicator also plots the no-trade region - the region around the target position size that defines the limit of the divergence of the target and actual position.
Relevant information for the most recent price data is displayed in a table.
