Is it possible to script and Options Position Sizer indicator that would sit on an Options Chart?

The indicator would have labels that would show the number of contracts to purchase based on Account Cash Available for Trading auto filled into the indicator , the price of the option based on the Ask, the number of contracts to purchase base on trader's inputted % risk of Account Cash Available.

Label: Account Cash Available
Label: Option Price
Label: # Contracts to purchase
Label: Traders Risk %

Trader would keep an options chart open with indicator on it.
The indicator's initial calculations would be determined when the Option Code is entered.

Side note: I keep a Watchlist Open with "Symbol" options codes of both puts and Calls and can easily send the option code to the Options chart with a click.

Thanks for looking.

There are several position sizing studies here. Maybe some of them will work.

Searching for position, results in 10 pages of possibilities.

Hey @3AMBH

Did you ever find anything that would fit this Criteria? I would love to give it a go if so... I have something I use but, it doesn't work the way I would like. I have to tweak the input information to get it to give me the numbers I want.
