Sorry, the line should be: PositionSize = -1 * BuyPrice/(n*ATR(m));
 
where you can optimize your ATR multiplier as well as your ATR length.

  Mr. V:
   
  Try this one-liner: PositionSize = -1 * BuyPrice/(n*ATR(10),m);
   
  The minus 1 says to risk 1% of current equity ($1000 on a $100,000 
  portfolio), which is Tharp's recommendation. The rest of the equation says to 
  adjust that risk by the buyprice/volatility. The volatility denominator 
  determines how many shares to buy. Thus, if the ATR multiplier, n, is 2, then 
  the no. of shares is 1000/2ATR, and when you multiply that by the buyprice, 
  you get the actual dollars invested by Amibroker.

    I would like to 
    test Tharp's expectancy, position sizing @ 1% risk and % volatility entry 
    and exit stops based on Equity() and R-Multiples
    ...Like the 
    book, to begin with...

    I'm not good at 
    coding Stops, yet.

    As an aside, Why 
    is there a difference between ATR(239) and MA(ATR(1),239) ?  
    
    Which is 
    correct, the MA?
