Professional-grade tools to size positions correctly, manage risk, and plan your trades before you enter them.
Calculate the exact number of shares to buy based on your account size and risk tolerance.
Rule of thumb: Risk no more than 1–2% of your account on a single trade. This means you can absorb 50+ consecutive losses before blowing up — nearly impossible if your strategy has positive expectancy.
Evaluate whether a trade setup is worth taking based on your entry, stop, and target.
Minimum standard: TrendTrooper targets a minimum 1:2 R:R ratio. This means you only need to be right 34% of the time to break even — your winners carry the strategy.
Set volatility-adjusted stops using Average True Range so you aren't stopped out by normal price noise.
Why ATR? A fixed $0.50 stop on a $10 stock is very different from the same stop on a $200 stock. ATR scales your stop to actual volatility, giving your trade room to breathe without giving up too much.
