🌊 Reinhart-Rogoff Financial Instability Index (RR-FII)Overview
The Reinhart-Rogoff Financial Instability Index (RR-FII) is a multi-factor indicator that consolidates historical crisis patterns into a single risk score ranging from 0 to 100. Drawing from the extensive research in "This Time is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Crises" by Carmen M. Reinhart and Kenneth S. Rogoff, the RR-FII translates nearly a millennium of crisis data into practical insights for financial markets.
What It Does
The RR-FII acts like a real-time financial weather forecast by tracking four key stress indicators that historically signal the build-up to major financial crises. Unlike traditional indicators based only on price, it takes a broader view, examining the global market's interconnected conditions to provide a holistic assessment of systemic risk.
The Four Crisis Components
- Capital Flow Stress (Default weight: 25%)
- Data analyzed: Volatility (ATR) and price movements of the selected asset.
- Detects abrupt volatility surges or sharp price falls, which often precede debt defaults due to sudden stops in capital inflow.
- Commodity Cycle (Default weight: 20%)
- Data analyzed: US crude oil prices (customizable).
- Watches for significant declines from recent highs, since commodity price troughs often signal looming crises in emerging markets.
- Currency Crisis (Default weight: 30%)
- Data analyzed: US Dollar Index (DXY, customizable).
- Flags if the currency depreciates by more than 15% in a year, aligning with historical criteria for currency crashes linked to defaults.
- Banking Sector Health (Default weight: 25%)
- Data analyzed: Performance of financial sector ETFs (e.g., XLF) relative to broad market benchmarks (SPY).
- Monitors for underperformance in the financial sector, a strong indicator of broader financial instability.
Risk Scale Interpretation
- 0-20: Safe – Low systemic risk, normal conditions.
- 20-40: Moderate – Some signs of stress, increased caution advised.
- 40-60: Elevated – Multiple risk factors, consider adjusting positions.
- 60-80: High – Significant probability of crisis, implement strong risk controls.
- 80-100: Critical – Several crisis indicators active, exercise maximum caution.
Visual Features
- The main risk line changes color with increasing risk.
- Background colors show different risk zones for quick reference.
- Option to view individual component scores.
- A real-time status table summarizes all component readings.
- Crisis event markers appear when thresholds are breached.
- Customizable alerts notify users of changing risk levels.
How to Use
- Apply as an overlay for broad risk management at the portfolio level.
- Adjust position sizes inversely to the crisis index score.
- Use high index readings as a warning to increase vigilance or reduce exposure.
- Set up alerts for changes in risk levels.
- Analyze using various timeframes; daily and weekly charts yield the best macro insights.
Customizable Settings
- Change the weighting of each crisis factor.
- Switch commodity, currency, banking sector, and benchmark symbols for customized views or regional focus.
- Adjust thresholds and visual settings to match individual risk preferences.
Academic Foundation
Rooted in rigorous analysis of 66 countries and 800 years of data, the RR-FII uses empirically validated relationships and thresholds to assess systemic risk. The indicator embodies key findings: financial crises often follow established patterns, different types of crises frequently coincide, and clear quantitative signals often precede major events.
Best Practices
- Use RR-FII as part of a comprehensive risk management strategy, not as a standalone trading signal.
- Combine with fundamental analysis for complete market insight.
- Monitor for differences between component readings and the overall index.
- Favor higher timeframes for a broader macro view.
- Adjust component importance to suit specific market interests.
Important Disclaimers
- RR-FII assesses risk using patterns from past crises but does not predict future events.
- Historical performance is not a guarantee of future results.
- Always employ proper risk management.
- Consider this tool as one element in a broader analytical toolkit.
- Even with high risk readings, markets may not react immediately.
Technical Requirements
- Compatible with Pine Script v6, suitable for all timeframes and symbols.
- Pulls data automatically for USOIL, DXY, XLF, and SPY.
- Operates without repainting, using only confirmed data.
The RR-FII condenses centuries of financial crisis knowledge into a modern risk management tool, equipping investors and traders with a deeper understanding of when systemic risks are most pronounced.

Swing and intraday traders focused on objective, rule‑based trade management
Anyone who uses ATR for adaptive stops/targets or fixed percentages for simpler exits
Log Return DistributionThis indicator calculates the statistical distribution of logarithmic returns over a user-defined lookback period and visualizes it as a horizontal profile anchored to the most recent opening price.
Lookback Length: The number of recent bars to include in the distribution analysis. A larger value (e.g., 252) provides a long-term statistical view, while a smaller value (e.g., 20) focuses on recent, short-term volatility.
Bins Count: The number of price levels to divide the distribution into. An odd number is recommended (e.g., 31, 51) to ensure a dedicated central line for the 0% return.
Max Line Length: The horizontal length (in bars) of the line representing the most frequent return bin (the mode). This setting scales the entire profile, allowing you to make differences in frequency more or less pronounced visually.
LANZ Strategy 6.0 [Backtest]🔷 LANZ Strategy 6.0 — Precision Backtesting Based on 09:00 NY Candle, Dynamic SL/TP, and Lot Size per Trade
LANZ Strategy 6.0 is the simulation version of the original LANZ 6.0 indicator. It executes a single LIMIT BUY order per day based on the 09:00 a.m. New York candle, using dynamic Stop Loss and Take Profit levels derived from the candle range. Position sizing is calculated automatically using capital, risk percentage, and pip value — allowing accurate trade simulation and performance tracking.
📌 This is a strategy script — It simulates real trades using strategy.entry() and strategy.exit() with full money management for risk-based backtesting.
🧠 Core Logic & Trade Conditions
🔹 BUY Signal Trigger:
At 09:00 a.m. NY (New York time), if:
The current candle is bullish (close > open)
→ A BUY order is placed at the candle’s close price (EP)
Only one signal is evaluated per day.
⚙️ Stop Loss / Take Profit Logic
SL can be:
Wick low (0%)
Or dynamically calculated using a % of the full candle range
TP is calculated using the user-defined Risk/Reward ratio (e.g., 1:4)
The TP and SL levels are passed to strategy.exit() for each trade simulation.
💰 Risk Management & Lot Size Calculation
Before placing the trade:
The system calculates pip distance from EP to SL
Computes the lot size based on:
Account capital
Risk % per trade
Pip value (auto or manual)
This ensures every trade uses consistent, scalable risk regardless of instrument.
🕒 Manual Close at 3:00 p.m. NY
If the trade is still open by 15:00 NY time, it will be closed using strategy.close().
The final result is the actual % gain/loss based on how far price moved relative to SL.
📊 Backtest Accuracy
One trade per day
LIMIT order at the candle close
SL and TP pre-defined at execution
No repainting
Session-restricted (only runs on 1H timeframe)
✅ Ideal For:
Traders who want to backtest a clean and simple daily entry system
Strategy developers seeking reproducible, high-conviction trades
Users who prefer non-repainting, session-based simulations

TheDevashishratio-MomentumThis custom momentum indicator is inspired by Fibonacci principles but builds a unique sequence with steps of 0.5 (i.e., 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, ...). Instead of traditional Fibonacci numbers, each step functions as a dynamic lookback period for a momentum calculation. By cycling through these fractional steps, you capture a layered view of price momentum over varying intervals.
The "Fibonacci" Series Used
Sequence:
0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, … up to a user-defined maximum
For trading indicators, lag values (lookback) must be integers, so each step is rounded to the nearest integer and duplicates are removed, resulting in lookbacks:
1, 2, 3, 4, ... N
Indicator Logic
For each selected lookback, the indicator calculates momentum as:
Momentum
n
=
close
−
close
Momentum
n
=close−close
Where:
close = current price
n = integer from your series of
You can combine these momenta for an averaged or weighted momentum profile, displaying the composite as an oscillator.
How To Use
Bullish: Oscillator above zero indicates positive composite momentum.
Bearish: Oscillator below zero indicates negative composite momentum.
Crosses: A cross from below to above zero may signal emerging bullish momentum, and vice versa.
Customization
Adjust max_step to control how many interval lags you want in your composite.
This oscillator averages across many short and mid-term momenta, reducing noise while still being sensitive to changes.
Summary
TheDevashishratio-Momentum offers a fresh momentum oscillator, blending a "Fibonacci-like" progression with technical analysis, and can be easily copy-pasted into TradingView to experiment and refine your edge.

No Supply No Demand (NSND) – Volume Spread Analysis ToolThis indicator is designed for traders utilizing Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) techniques. It automatically detects potential No Demand (ND) and No Supply (NS) candles based on volume and price behavior, and confirms them using future price action within a user-defined number of lookahead bars.
Confirmed No Demand (ND): Detected when a bullish candle has volume lower than the previous two bars and is followed by weakness (next highs swept, close below).
Confirmed No Supply (NS): Detected when a bearish candle has volume lower than the previous two bars and is followed by strength (next lows swept, close above).
Adjustable lookahead bars parameter to control the confirmation window.
This tool helps identify potential distribution (ND) and accumulation (NS) areas, providing early signs of market turning points based on professional volume logic. The dot appears next to ND or NS.
PCR tableOverview
This indicator displays a multi-period table of forward-looking price projections. It combines normalized directional momentum (Positive Change Ratio, PCR) with volatility (ATR) and presents a forecast for upcoming time intervals, adjusted for your local UTC offset.
Concepts & Calculations
Positive Change Ratio (PCR):
((total positive change)/(total change)-0.5)*2, producing a value between –100 and +100.
Synthetic ATR: Calculates average true range over the same lookbacks to capture volatility.
PCR × ATR: Forms a volatility-weighted directional forecast, indicating expected move magnitude.
Future Price Projection: Adds PCR × ATR value to current close to estimate future price at each lookahead interval.
Table Layout
There are 12 forecast horizons—1× to 12× the chart timeframe (e.g., minutes, hours, days). Each row displays:
1. Future Time: Timestamp of each projection (adjustable via UTC offset)
2. PCR: Directional bias per period (–1 to +1)
3. PCR × ATR: E xpected move magnitude
4. Future Price: Close + (PCR × ATR)
High and low PCR×ATR rows are highlighted green for minimum value in the price forecast (buy signal) or red for maximum value in the price forecast (sell signal).
How to Use
1. Set UTC offset to your time zone for accurate future timestamps.
2. View PCR to assess bullish (positive) or bearish (negative) momentum.
3. Use PCR × ATR to estimate move strength and direction.
4. Reference Future Price for potential levels over upcoming intervals, and for buy and sell signals.

AI Breakout Bands (Zeiierman)█ Overview
AI Breakout Bands (Zeiierman) is an adaptive trend and breakout detection system that combines Kalman filtering with advanced K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) smoothing. The result is a smart, self-adjusting band structure that adapts to dynamic market behavior, identifying breakout conditions with precision and visual clarity.
At its core, this indicator estimates price behavior using a two-dimensional Kalman filter (position + velocity), then enhances the smoothing process with a nonlinear, similarity-based KNN filter. This unique blend enables it to handle noisy markets and directional shifts with both speed and stability — providing breakout traders and trend followers a reliable framework to act on.
Whether you're identifying volatility expansions, capturing trend continuations, or spotting early breakout conditions, AI Breakout Bands gives you a mathematically grounded, visually adaptive roadmap of real-time market structure.
█ How It Works
⚪ Kalman Filter Engine
The Kalman filter models price movement as a state system with two components:
Position (price)
Velocity (trend direction)
It recursively updates predictions using real-time price as a noisy observation, balancing responsiveness with smoothness.
Process Noise (Position) controls sensitivity to sudden moves.
Process Noise (Velocity) controls smoothing of directional flow.
Measurement Noise (R) defines how much the filter "trusts" live price data.
This component alone creates a responsive yet stable estimate of the market’s center of gravity.
⚪ Advanced K-Neighbor Smoothing
After the Kalman estimate is computed, the script applies a custom K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) smoother.
Rather than averaging raw values, this method:
Finds K most similar past Kalman values
Weighs them by similarity (inverse of absolute distance)
Produces a smoother that emphasizes structural similarity
This nonlinear approach gives the indicator an AI feature — reacting fast when needed, yet staying calm in consolidation.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Recognition
The line color shifts dynamically based on slope direction and breakout confirmation.
Bullish conditions: price above the mid band with positive slope
Bearish conditions: price below the mid band with negative slope
⚪ Breakout Signals
Price breaking above or below the bands may signal momentum acceleration.
Combine with your own volume or momentum confirmation for stronger entries.
Bands adapt to market noise, helping filter out low-quality whipsaws.
█ Settings
Process Noise (Position): Controls Kalman filter’s sensitivity to price changes.
Process Noise (Velocity): Controls smoothing of directional component.
Measurement Noise (R): Defines how much trust is placed in price data.
K-Neighbor Length: Number of historical Kalman values considered for smoothing.
Slope Calculation Window: Number of bars used to compute trend slope of the smoothed Kalman.
Band Lookback (MAE): Rolling period for average absolute error.
Band Multiplier: Multiplies MAE to determine band width.

Monthly Seasonality Trend [DunesIsland]The Monthly Seasonality Trend is a indicator designed to analyze and visualize historical monthly seasonality patterns in financial markets. By calculating the average monthly return over a user-configurable lookback period (1 to 10 years), this indicator provides traders and investors with a clear projection of potential price movements for the current month, enabling data-driven decision-making.
How It Works
The indicator operates by retrieving monthly open and close prices for the specified lookback period (up to 10 years) and computing the average percentage return for the current month based on historical data. Key functionalities include:
Dynamic Trend Line: On the first trading day of each month, the indicator plots a line projecting the expected price trajectory, starting from the current close price and extending to the estimated end-of-month price based on the average historical return. The line is colored green for anticipated price increases or red for expected declines, offering an intuitive visual cue.
Average Return Label: A label is displayed at the start of each month, detailing the calculated average historical return for that month, expressed as a percentage, to provide context for the projected trend.
First Trading Day Marker: A small circle is plotted below the bar on the first trading day of each month, clearly marking the start of the projection period.
Adaptive Bar Counting: The indicator dynamically adjusts the length of the trend line based on the actual number of trading days in the previous month, ensuring accurate projections.
How to Interpret
Bullish Projection (Green Line): Indicates that historical data suggests an average price increase for the current month, potentially signaling buying opportunities.
Bearish Projection (Red Line): Suggests an average price decline based on historical trends, which may prompt caution or short-selling strategies.
Historical Context: The average return label provides a quantitative measure of past performance, helping traders assess the reliability of the projected trend.
Institutional Sweep Zone (Range-Based)Institutional Sweep Zone (Range-Based)
This indicator models potential stop sweep zones based on institutional capital ranges, helping traders visualize where high-probability liquidity grabs are likely to occur.
Unlike traditional volatility bands, this tool estimates price movement by calculating how far a specific amount of capital—entered into the market—can push price. By defining a lower and upper capital range (in millions of USD), the indicator dynamically draws bands representing the distance institutions could realistically move price in either direction.
It supports directional control, allowing you to focus on long sweeps, short sweeps, or both simultaneously. The pip cost is auto-calibrated based on the selected currency pair, making it highly adaptive to major FX pairs.
Key Features:
-Capital input range (in millions of USD)
-Directional sweep targeting: Long, Short, or Both
-Auto-detection of pip value based on FX pair
-Visual sweep zone mapped above and below current price
-Designed to highlight areas of institutional stop hunts
Why use it?
-Helps avoid setting stops inside common sweep zones
-Improves trade survivability when paired with higher timeframe strategies
-Offers a unique way to view price through an institutional lens

Golden Ratio Trend Persistence [EWT]Golden Ratio Trend Persistence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Overview
The Golden Ratio Trend Persistence is a dynamic tool designed to identify the strength and persistence of market trends. It operates on a simple yet powerful premise: a trend is likely to continue as long as it doesn't retrace beyond the key Fibonacci golden ratio of 61.8%.
This indicator automatically identifies the most significant swing high or low and plots a single, dynamic line representing the 61.8% retracement level of the current move. This line acts as a "line in the sand" for the prevailing trend. The background color also changes to provide an immediate visual cue of the current market direction.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Power of the Golden Ratio (61.8%)
The golden ratio (ϕ≈1.618) and its inverse (0.618, or 61.8%) are fundamental mathematical constants that appear throughout nature, art, and science, often representing harmony and structure. In financial markets, this ratio is a cornerstone of Fibonacci analysis and is considered one of the most critical levels for price retracements.
Market movements are not linear; they progress in waves of impulse and correction. The 61.8% level often acts as the ultimate point of support or resistance. A trend that can hold this level demonstrates underlying strength and is likely to persist. A breach of this level, however, suggests a fundamental shift in market sentiment and a potential reversal.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How to Use This Indicator
This indicator is designed for clarity and ease of use.
Identifying the Trend : The visual cues make the current trend instantly recognizable.
A teal line with a teal background signifies a bullish trend. The line acts as dynamic support.
A maroon line with a maroon background signifies a bearish trend. The line acts as dynamic resistance.
Confirming Trend Persistence : As long as the price respects the plotted level, the trend is considered intact.
In an uptrend, prices should remain above the teal line. The indicator will automatically adjust its anchor to new, higher lows, causing the support line to trail the price.
In a downtrend, prices should remain below the maroon line.
Spotting Trend Reversals : The primary signal is a trend reversal, which occurs when the price closes decisively beyond the plotted level.
Potential Sell Signal : When the price closes below the teal support line, it indicates that buying pressure has failed, and the uptrend is likely over.
Potential Buy Signal : When the price closes above the maroon resistance line, it indicates that selling pressure has subsided, and a new uptrend may be starting.
Think of this tool as an intelligent, adaptive trailing stop that is based on market structure and the time-tested principles of Fibonacci analysis.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Input Parameters
You can customize the indicator's sensitivity through the following inputs in the settings menu:
Pivot Lookback Left : This number defines how many bars to the left of a candle must be lower (for a pivot high) or higher (for a pivot low) to identify a potential swing point. A higher value will result in fewer, but more significant, pivots being detected.
Pivot Lookback Right : This defines the number of bars that must close to the right before a swing point is confirmed. This parameter prevents the indicator from repainting. A higher value increases confirmation strength but also adds a slight lag.
Fibonacci Ratio : While the default is the golden ratio (0.618), you can adjust this to other key Fibonacci levels, such as 0.5 (50%) or 0.382 (38.2%), to test for different levels of trend persistence.
Adjusting these parameters allows you to fine-tune the indicator for different assets, timeframes, and trading styles, from short-term scalping to long-term trend following.

It overlays a Linear Regression line (representing the “mean position” or ground state of price) and calculates surrounding energy levels (σ-zones) akin to quantum shells that price can "jump" between.
This indicator is particularly useful for visualizing mean reversion, volatility compression/expansion, and momentum-driven price breakthroughs.
🧠 Core Concepts
Linear Regression Line (LSR): This is the calculated center of gravity or equilibrium path of price over a user-defined period. Think of it like the lowest energy state or central axis around which price vibrates.
Standard Deviation Zones (σ-levels):
1σ: The majority of normal price activity; within this range, price tends to fluctuate if in balance.
2σ: Indicates volatility or possible breakout pressure.
3σ: Represents extreme movement — a phase shift in energy, potentially leading to reversal or continuation with higher momentum.
Quantum Analogy: Just like in a quantum harmonic oscillator, particles (here, prices) move probabilistically between discrete energy states. The further the price moves from the center, the more "energy" (momentum, volume, volatility) is implied.
⚙️ Input Parameters
Setting Description
Linear Regression Length The number of bars used to calculate the regression trend (default 100). Affects the central path and responsiveness.
σ Multipliers (1σ, 2σ, 3σ) Determine how far each band is from the regression line. Adjusting these can highlight different price behaviors.
Show Energy Level Zones Toggle visibility of the colored bands around the regression line.
Show LSR Center Line Toggles visibility of the white Linear Regression line itself.
🎨 Visual Components
Color Zone Interpretation
✅ Green ±1σ Normal oscillation / mean reversion area. Ideal for range-bound strategies.
🟧 Orange ±2σ Warning zone; price may be gaining momentum or volatility.
🔴 Red ±3σ High-momentum state or anomaly. These regions may imply trend exhaustion, reversals, or breakouts.
White Line: The LSR — the average trajectory of the price movement.
Pink Dots: Appear when price exceeds Zone 3 (outside ±3σ) — a signal of extreme behavior or a possible regime shift.
📈 How to Use This Indicator
1. Detect Overextensions
When price touches or breaches the 3σ zone, it is likely overextended. This can be used to anticipate potential snapbacks or strong breakout trends.
2. Identify Mean Reversion Trades
If price exits the 2σ or 3σ zones and returns toward the center line, this signals a likely mean reversion setup.
3. Volatility Compression or Expansion
Flat zones between σ levels suggest calm markets; widening bands suggest expanding volatility.
4. Use with Confirmation Tools
Combine with momentum oscillators (MACD, RSI) or volume-based signals to confirm reversals or continuation outside Zone 3.
🔮 Philosophical Note
This indicator embodies the metaphor that the market behaves like a quantum oscillator — price particles exist in a probabilistic field and jump between discrete zones of volatility and energy. Tracking these transitions allows the trader to see price behavior as rhythmic, wave-like, and multidimensional rather than purely linear.

- **Step**: 0.01
- **Example**: If you allocate 20% of your portfolio to trading, enter 20
### Risk from Trading (%)
- **Purpose**: The percentage of your trading allocation you're willing to risk per trade
- **Default**: 0.1%
- **Range**: Any positive value
- **Step**: 0.01
- **Example**: If you risk 0.1% of your trading allocation per trade, enter 0.1
### Entry Price ($)
- **Purpose**: The price at which you plan to enter the trade
- **Default**: 0.0
- **Range**: Any positive value
- **Step**: 0.01
### Stop Loss ($)
- **Purpose**: The price at which you will exit if the trade goes against you
- **Default**: 0.0
- **Range**: Any positive value
- **Step**: 0.01
### Risk Factor
- **Purpose**: A multiplier to scale your position size up or down
- **Default**: 1.0 (no scaling)
- **Range**: 0.0 to 10.0
- **Step**: 0.1
- **Examples**:

### Fee (%)
- **Purpose**: The percentage fee charged per transaction
- **Default**: 0.01% (0.01)
- **Range**: 0.0% to 1.0%
- **Step**: 0.001
## How Risk Amount is Calculated
The script automatically calculates your risk amount using this formula:
```
Risk Amount = Total Portfolio × Trading Allocation (%) × Risk % ÷ 10,000
```
### Example Calculation:
- Total Portfolio: $100,000
- Trading Allocation: 20%
- Risk per Trade: 0.1%
**Risk Amount = $100,000 × 20 × 0.1 ÷ 10,000 = $20**
This means you would risk $20 per trade, which is 0.1% of your $20,000 trading allocation.
## Portfolio Structure Example
Let's say you have a $100,000 portfolio:
### Allocation Structure:
- **Total Portfolio**: $100,000
- **Trading Allocation (20%)**: $20,000
- **Long-term Investments (80%)**: $80,000
### Risk Management:
- **Risk per Trade (0.1% of trading)**: $20
- **Maximum trades at risk**: Could theoretically have 1,000 trades before risking entire trading allocation
## How Position Size is Calculated
### Trade Direction Detection
- **Long Trade**: Entry price > Stop loss price
- **Short Trade**: Entry price < Stop loss price
### Position Size Formulas
#### For Long Trades:
```
Position Size = -Risk Factor × Risk Amount / (Stop Loss × (1 - Fee) - Entry Price × (1 + Fee))
```
#### For Short Trades:
```
Position Size = -Risk Factor × Risk Amount / (Entry Price × (1 - Fee) - Stop Loss × (1 + Fee))
```

- Risk per Trade: 0.15-0.25%
- Risk Factor: 1.5-2.0
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
1. **Position Size shows 0**
- Verify all portfolio inputs are greater than 0
- Check that entry price differs from stop loss
- Ensure calculated risk amount is positive
2. **Very small position sizes**
- Increase risk percentage or risk factor
- Check if your risk amount is too small for the price difference
3. **Large risk deviation**
- Normal for very small positions
- Consider adjusting entry/stop loss levels
### Validation Checklist
- Total portfolio value is realistic
- Trading allocation percentage makes sense
- Risk percentage is conservative
- Entry and stop loss prices are valid
- Trade direction matches your intention
## Advanced Features
### Risk Factor Usage
- **Scaling up**: Use risk factors > 1.0 for high-confidence trades
- **Scaling down**: Use risk factors < 1.0 for uncertain trades
- **Never exceed**: Risk factors that would risk more than your comfort level
### Multiple Timeframe Analysis
- Use different risk factors for different timeframes
- Consider correlation between positions
- Adjust trading allocation based on market conditions

## Important Notes
### Validation Requirements
For the script to work properly, all of the following must be true:
- Entry price > 0
- Stop loss > 0
- Risk amount > 0
- Entry price ≠ Stop loss (to determine direction)
### Negative Position Sizes
The script may show negative position sizes, which is normal:
- **Negative values for long trades**: Represents shares to buy
- **Negative values for short trades**: Represents shares to short
### Risk Deviation
The "Deviation from Risk %" shows how closely the calculated position size matches your target risk. Small deviations are normal due to:
- Fee calculations
