[Account Value x Risk Amount (in decimal form)] / [Entry Price - Stop Price of Stock] = # of shares to buy

ie: 10K Act. Value, willing to risk 1/2% of total account per trade, Buying stock ABC at 55.50 with a stop at 52.50.

(10,000 x .005) / (55.50 - 52.50)
risk $50 per trade / $3 risk per 1 share = buy 16-17 shares.

If you set up a spreadsheet in excel when you change your account size, or you want to change your risk amount you just change the number in the box and the total # or shares automatically updates.]]> http://www.traderinterviews.com/idealab/entry/view/sr-volume-market-analysis#c94 Mon, 05 May 2008 00:47:11 -0700 http://www.traderinterviews.com/idealab/entry/view/sr-volume-market-analysis#c11 http://www.traderinterviews.com/idealab/entry/view/sr-volume-market-analysis#c11 Fri, 13 Jul 2007 18:00:03 -0700 http://www.traderinterviews.com/idealab/entry/view/sr-volume-market-analysis#c10
Finding patterns like "head and shoulders" and "inverted head and shoulders" is a powerful trade setup and a safer bet for large share size.

What i'm looking for is a software package that helps with risk/reward analysis and computes that automatically,
cause we want to be in this game for the long haul.

I found this software www.mtpredictor.com but I haven't found anyone that is using it. Not that i don't trust their testimonials, I would feel safer meeting someone that has used it with success.

If anyone has used mtpredictor please respond to this post.]]> http://www.traderinterviews.com/idealab/entry/view/sr-volume-market-analysis#c10 Sat, 07 Jul 2007 01:54:54 -0700
