Risk Tools

Falcon AI includes a suite of built-in risk management tools that derive stop-loss and take-profit levels from the structure of each setup and calculate position sizing automatically for every signal generated. Exact placement rules and parameters are shipped to active subscribers via the Settings Vault.

01Structure-Based SL/TP

Falcon AI derives stop-loss and take-profit levels from the structure of the setup itself — not from fixed ticks, rigid R:R ratios, or arbitrary ATR multiples. The stop sits beyond the level that proves the trade wrong (the order block / structural swing that defines the setup), and the target maps to the setup's next structural objective. When the structure is tight, the risk is tight; when it's wide, the signal demands more room — or doesn't fire at all.

Basis
Setup Structure
SL and TP map to the order block and structural swing that define each setup. Exact placement rules in the Settings Vault.
Stop Loss
Invalidation-Placed
Sits beyond the level that invalidates the setup — if price gets there, the trade idea is wrong, not just noisy.
Take Profit
Structural Objective
Targets the setup's next structural objective for the session — built for the move the structure actually implies.
Guardrails
Session + News
Signals fire only inside each config's session window, and the engine sits out high-impact news prints by design.

The SL zone renders as a red shaded band on the TradingView chart, and the TP target as a green shaded band. Defaults can be tuned in the indicator's input panel under Risk Management. Falcon AI runs as a TradingView indicator (signals + webhook) and, on Elite, as a native NinjaTrader 8 strategy that auto-executes with no webhook or relay — on Elite, those same structure-based stop and target levels are placed directly as native NinjaTrader orders. Active subscribers receive the exact placement rules and parameters in the Settings Vault — pre-tuned per tier and ready to trade, nothing to set up yourself.

02Position Sizing

Falcon AI displays a suggested position size for each signal based on the configured account size and maximum risk percentage per trade. The calculation uses the distance from entry to stop-loss and the tick value of the traded contract.

The standard position sizing formula applied is:

Example calculation for a Micro E-mini Nasdaq (MNQ) signal:

Variable Value
Account Size $25,000
Risk Per Trade 1% ($250)
Contract MNQ (Micro E-mini Nasdaq)
MNQ Tick Size 0.25 index points
MNQ Tick Value $0.50 per tick
Entry Price 19,850.00
Stop-Loss Price 19,800.00
Stop Distance 50 points = 200 ticks
Risk Per Contract 200 ticks × $0.50 = $100
Suggested Position Size $250 ÷ $100 = 2 contracts

Default risk settings in the Falcon AI indicator are set to 1% per trade. This can be adjusted in the indicator settings panel. We strongly recommend never risking more than 2% of account capital on a single signal, regardless of the confluence score.
