Position Size Calculator – Based on VP Money Management rules – indicator MetaTrader 4

Version 2.0 Uploaded – Version 1.xx users please update risk %

This indicator is based on the Money Management approach used by VP from nononsenseforex.com It uses ATR to calculate Stop Loss, Take Profit and Volume you should enter into a trade based on the percentage of your Equity you want to risk.

Inputs Include :-

  • ATR Periods
  • Input Risk % eg enter the % *changed for Version 2
  • Stop Loss Factor – calculate Stop Loss as 1.5 times the ATR from the current price
  • Take Profit – calculate a Take Profit as a factor of ATR based on current price
  • Font size and color
  • Fixed ATR – leave it at 0 unless you want to lock the ATR value eg during a flash crash

What is Displayed :-

  • ATR(14):80pips – The ATR for the current Period in pips rather than points
    • If you see “FIXED ATR” you have entered a value under input to override the ATR. Enter 0 as Fixed ATR to use a calculated ATR
  • Equity:50,30.65GBP – Your current Equity and Account Currency
  • Risk 1.0%:502GBP – The calculated Risk in your currency and counter currency
  • Time Left:01:55:33 – How long before the current period closes
  • Depending on if you will Buy or Sell the Stop Loss and Take ProfitΒ 
    • Buy SL:0.72654
    • Buy TP:0.72814
    • Sell SL:0.72997
    • Sell TP:0.72129
  • Base Corner 0 to 3 – Allow you to move Pos Size to a different corner of the screenΒ 
    • 0= Upper Left, 1=Upper Right, 2=Lower Left,3= Lower Right
