Docs / Risk Calculator
Size positions, don't guess them
The calculator is a single Google Sheet. You enter three numbers; it returns your position size.
Inputs you provide
- Account size — total trading capital in your base currency (₹, $, €, whichever).
- Risk per trade — percent of account you're willing to lose on one trade. 0.5-1% is a reasonable default.
- Entry, stop, and symbol ATR — copy directly from the Golden Indicator readout on your chart.
Outputs
- Position size in lots (for F&O), contracts (for futures), or shares / units (for equities and crypto).
- Currency risk on the trade, in your base currency.
- 1R target — the distance you're risking, projected forward.
Why ATR-based sizing beats fixed-position sizing
A fixed 1-lot or 1-contract position carries very different real-currency risk when volatility doubles — your downside silently scales with it. ATR-based sizing keeps your currency risk constant by shrinking the position when volatility is high, regardless of whether you're trading BankNifty, Gold futures, or SPX options.
