The Qty Calculator works by taking critical trading inputs including total capital, entry price, and stop-loss level to dynamically calculate precise trade quantities. It breaks down risk management by computing multiple risk percentage scenarios ranging from 0.10% to 1.00% of total trading capital.
By analyzing the price difference between entry and stop-loss, the indicator systematically determines the optimal trade quantity for each risk level. It generates a comprehensive table displaying key metrics like quantity, capital per trade, percentage of total capital used, and potential risk amounts.
