Nasdaq Risk Calculator - DTFX

Nasdaq Risk Calculator

This Pine Script (v5) indicator provides a dashboard-style tool for calculating trading risk based on manually input tick measurements for Nasdaq futures contracts (NQ and MNQ). Designed as an overlay on the main chart, it displays key risk metrics in a fixed-position table, allowing traders to assess contract type, lot size, risk ticks, and actual risk in dollars relative to a user-defined risk amount.

Features:

Manual Tick Input: Enter the number of ticks (e.g., from a ruler measurement) to define the price range for risk calculation.
Risk Calculation: Computes the optimal contract (NQ or MNQ), number of lots, risk ticks (half the input range), and actual risk in dollars, targeting the specified risk amount (default: $100).
Customizable Dashboard: Displays results in a single-cell table with a semi-transparent white background and gray border, positioned in one of four chart corners (Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right) via user selection.
Reset Option: Includes a toggle to clear the dashboard and start anew.
How to Use:

Add the indicator to your chart (best suited for NQ or MNQ futures).
In the settings, input your "Risk Amount ($)" and "Ticks" (e.g., 400 for a 100-point range on NQ).
Select the "Dashboard Corner" to position the table.
View the calculated risk details in the chosen corner.
Adjust inputs or reset as needed.
Notes:

NQ tick value is $5.00 (NQ_MULTIPLIER = 5.0), and MNQ tick value is $0.50 (MNQ_MULTIPLIER = 0.5).
Ideal for traders planning risk based on measured price ranges, such as support/resistance zones.
