New Features for the ThinkOrSwim Position Sizer
I recently finished up a complete redesign of my ThinkOrSwim Position Sizer, and I wanted to post a quick announcement and go over some of the new features. I’m pretty excited about what I’ve been able to do with it, and I really hope others will find it as useful as I do.
The original implementation was basically a candle high/low position sizer. It calculated entries 1 tick above the high and your stop was 1 tick below the low of the candle, and it would size your position based on that stop size. Additionally, it only worked on stocks. I had originally made it to help me quickly calculate price action entries and exits and get the right number of shares each time, and it did that well for me, but wasn’t very flexible for other traders’ needs.
The new indicator is completely different and vastly more powerful.
New Features
- Works on Stocks, ETFs, and now Futures too!
- Automatically account for the minimum tick size and tick value of futures contracts
- Choose a percent of your buying power to risk on each trade
- Script automatically grabs your current account balance and calculates the right amount of shares/contracts to buy based on your predefined risk tolerance
- Optionally specify a manual/theoretical account balance
- Specify a buying power multiple (2x or 4x account balance, etc., or just leave at 1x to use no margin leverage)
- NEW STOP TYPES!
- Candle/bar price action stops and entries as before
- New! ATR stops
- Specify a custom ATR multiple to use for stops
- Change every aspect of how the ATR is calculated if desired
- New! Kase DevStops
- Choose between 4 different DevStop standard deviation levels
- New entry methods!
- Choose trade direction, long or short
- Specify to calculate entries from the close, open, high, or low
- Add custom padding for slippage or breakout entries to both entries and stops
- Example 1: enter 1 tick above the high of a candle, stop 1 tick below the low, etc., to simulate a stop-market entry and exit
- Example 2: assume 1 tick slippage on entries and stops, regardless of entry type
- New target methods!
- Choose an automatic target based on a multiple of your risk (stop size).
- Example: if your stop size is $2, you can specify a 1:2 risk/reward ratio, and it will automatically calculate your target price as $4 above your entry
- Choose a manual target price for your trade and automatically get the risk/reward in both Risk Units (Rs) or in percentage terms
- Choose an automatic target based on a multiple of your risk (stop size).
- Optionally round the shares or contracts to the nearest 10, 100, or whatever other number you specify
- Show/hide any labels or lines on the chart
- Change label and line colors as desired
