Hi Support / John Can you provide any information on the following 2 questions? 1) I tend to use LFS to prevent the price data/bars overlapping thing like a Profile and Chart DOM however when switching timeframes and extending or contracting bar spacing the LFS is relative to the spacing and not actually locked at the original offset. If I unlock the Fill Space then I can drag, move and change the bar spacing but now I overwrite the Chart DOM and profiles. Is there a bar offset feature that I've missed? 2) The reward/Risk tool has always been really useful but is there R:R Position Size Tool that allows a fixed value risk to be used to calculate INT(Position Size)? Many thanks |

1) There is nothing you are missing. The Lock Fill Space uses a "number of bars" to determine the spacing. As such, when you change the bar spacing, the amount of fill spacing changes. We have noted your request to have the Lock Fill Space set to a specific size that does not change with the bar spacing. 2) We are not understanding the question. The Reward/Risk tool will show the values relative to the quantity set for the chart that it is on.

Hi John The RR tool has the main metrics but I wanted to calculate the contracts based on a pre-defined currency risk that I could then send directly to orders? A little like the LONG/SHORT of TradingView. I can see the ACSIL RR Study so I could add to it but I was hoping to place orders directly using the position of the Entry vs SL. Maybe there is something in the pipeline? Many thanks. |

There is nothing specifically being worked on relative to what you are looking for. There are a number of requests for changes to the Reward/Risk tool to make it more TradingView-like, but we can't say when we would get around to actually updating it. The best option, at this time, would be for you to create a custom study to do what you want based on the Reward/Risk tool.
