ATR Adaptive Position Sizer (APS) - OrbitPips

ATR Adaptive Position Sizer (APS)
Smart lot-calculator & risk dashboard for Forex, Crypto, Metals, Indices and Stocks

Why use APS?

• Instant position sizing – enter Equity & Risk %, APS outputs the exact lot size (no more spreadsheets).
  
• ATR-based stops – size adapts automatically to current volatility: SL = ATR × k.
  
• True-risk aware – commissions, spread and the 0.01-lot tick are baked into the maths; the table shows the real % / USD at risk.
  
• Multi-asset ready – auto-detects pip/tick value for FX, Crypto, CFDs, etc.
  
• Live safety alerts – leverage limit, risk deviation, lot-cap and volatility spikes.
