Risk / Reward Based On Inputs For ThinkOrSwim

Here is a risk calculation study I put together.

-- pick a % of account to use per trade, 20%
calcs how many shares to buy​

-- pick a risk amount (stop level)
...can use the ATR as the risk amount or enter a dollar amount​

-- enter 4 percentages, for the target levels

-- enter a stock price. if it = 0 then it tracks the current price.
if a number, then it stays constant, and draws lines across the chart.​

labels show shares and cost
bubbles show stop and targets, with % and $

Hi halcyonguy,

This is an awesome script. But difficult to use as you need to calc and enter the "risk dollars" to get it to work.

It would be WAY more useful if the "risk type" (currently: dollars, ATR) had percentage in it as well. This way as long as the study was loaded it would be automatic for any ticker. (or am I missing something ;-) )

For instance my R value is 3% of the price. So if a stock is 1$ I stop out at .97. But with this script I need to type in .03 to use it. Which kind of slows things down -a lot.

I often trade sub-dollar pennies, so maybe this script wouldn't work anyway....

Is adding risk type; percentage, even possible?

Many thanks and great work btw, its really an impressive study.

ver1
added an option, to choose a % of close, as the risk amount
added a multiplying factor for ATR

if not enough money is allocated to buy, a cyan labels appears with a warning

Thanks tons for adding the % feature! Its a fantastic and accurate visual tool for trading fast moving tickers.
Really works like a charm, even on sub 1$ pennies.

Thanks again!

Indicator that displays the trades risk to reward ratio (based on your entry, stop loss and profit target) the live risk to reward ratio of the trade, your stop loss and profit targets dollar amount if price was to reach them and the distance in ticks to your stop loss and profit target.

I tried it and get the following errors: Expected double at 133:6
Expected double at 134:6
No such variable: bn at 10:15
No such variable: cls at 92:16
 
Here is a risk calculation study I put together.

-- pick a % of account to use per trade, 20%
calcs how many shares to buy​

-- pick a risk amount (stop level)
...can use the ATR as the risk amount or enter a dollar amount​

-- enter 4 percentages, for the target levels

-- enter a stock price. if it = 0 then it tracks the current price.
if a number, then it stays constant, and draws lines across the chart.​

labels show shares and cost
bubbles show stop and targets, with % and $

Hey Halcyonguy, thank you for the script. I'm wondering how to adjust the stop % distance as I'm having trouble doing so. The only way I've been able to adjust is with the risk percent diff close, which also changes the profit exit distances. I would like to keep profit exits fixed where they are and widen % stop loss. Thank you.
