//Position Sizing Algorithms

//version 1 low risk low return:

Capital= 100000;
Risk = 0.03 * Capital;
//Stops

TrailStopAmount = 10 * ATR( 10 );
ApplyStop( 2, 2, TrailStopAmount, 1 );

PositionSize = (Risk / TrailStopAmount) * BuyPrice;

///////////////////
//version 2 Diverse, lower risk , medium return

PositionSize = -7.5;

//version 3 Higher risk, higher return, vary -1 to -4 

PositionSize = -1 * BuyPrice/(2*ATR(10));

version 4 highest risk, highest return

PositionSize = -3 * round(MA(V,50)/5/100);

Based on my tests of a few systems. Did not try with
futures.
