Isn't it really possible to calculate position size by entering balance/entry/stop and risk percentage like tradingview's one? If not, why?

Here my 2 cents: these kind of features are not hard to develop and not having such things makes new comers think SC is odd. Any junior dev can do this even 1 day, come on.

Hi Osozero, SC provides ACSIL (C++). Many of us have learned to use it and write things for ourselves such as position size calculators or really anything we want: Table of Contents | (Advanced Custom Study/System Interface and Language (ACSIL)) Good luck with your trading. |

Yeah SC doesn't have this natively which is surprising given how many people ask for it. I ended up building my own — you set risk % or fixed $, it reads stop distance and auto-calculates quantity. Full bracket order placed in one click. Works with any futures instrument, live or sim. Details here: https://scstudies.com/products/trade-manager |
