The Ultimate Alligator Calculator
GM Blue Belts!
Welcome to The Alligator Calculator: Trading View Edition!
The calculator is easy to use.
The calculator will tell you the exact risk, expected loss and position size with leverage as well, if needed.
Just tell it your portfolio size and your desired risk and it will do all of the work for you after it has received the entry and stop loss values.
It saves the data so do not worry about having to enter your CEX settings every single time.
It should make sure that you never deviate more than 10% and that your position size fits the minimum position size allowed on your chosen CEX and Coin!
This does not mean that it is not possible to deviate too much! Super high slippage or weirdly filled orders can happen! This is on the CEX side and is not something I can do anything about.
Color adjustments are available in the settings!
