Position Sizing Layout

This layout provides a way to calculate the number of shares for risking $100 based on the size of the risk box.

There are four risk boxes as shown in outline labeled 2.

ATR14, Frog Box, RangeStat/5, RangeStat/10.

These are usually in increasing order of risk.

The number of shares you can purchase with these risk boxes are the four columns in outlined labeled 1.

You can easily change $100 per risk to the amount you wish to risk in the formulae.

In practice, you will pick one column as your standard risk, or pick the least or most risk (as per your preference).

In the highlighted row, you can purchase 11 shares of symbol ASAN while risking $100 if you use ATR14 as your risk box, or 92 shares if you use a FrogBox as your risk box, or 212 shares if using R5 or 423 shares if using R10 as your risk box.
