#hint: This study is a work in progress. It is an attempt to remind investors to adjust their position sizes when the volatility of the market changes and/or for the volatility of the security the investor is considering taking a position in.
#The study creates four labels describing suggested positions depending on the desires of the investor.
#The author has chosen a Benchmark Position size of 100 shares of SPY. This Benchmark is adjustable by the investor without altering the code. You may choose to display all four preconfigured labels or only a portion of them. The Author prefers that a chart of the Historical Volatility of the Benchmark Index and the Prospect Security be placed immediately above the subchart containing the labels. But you should do whatever works best for you and your style.
