ATAS Automatically calculate position size based on amount of risk

Trading

a) Define a maximum risk you can take in one trade based on either of followings:

  1. Fixed amount of Risk, For example $200
  2. percentage of your account value. For example if your account balance is $10,000 and you only want to risk 1% of your account then system automatically will calculate your maximum risk. in this case it would be $100

b) Based on the above risk when you set your entry point and select your stop loss position, the systems will calculate your position size automatically, if you move your stop loss the system will modify your position size and will make sure the total amount of loss would not exceed the amount which you defined. if your stop loss position, cause the total amount of loss exceed your predefined value, it will highlight the loss as red to give you warning.

in below pictures, I am placing trades for MYM and the entry price in all 3 pictures are 35660 and just the location of the stop loss is different, therefore the system automatically calculate my position size.
