Risk Tools

Falcon AI includes a suite of built-in risk management tools that calculate ATR-based stop-loss and take-profit levels, position sizing, and trailing stops automatically for every signal generated.

01ATR-Based SL/TP

Falcon AI uses Average True Range (ATR) to size stop-loss and take-profit levels dynamically to current market volatility. Instead of fixed ticks or rigid R:R ratios, every signal's SL and TP are calculated from a rolling ATR window, so risk scales with how the market is actually moving in real time. A built-in fixed-point fallback covers low-volatility regimes where the ATR-derived distance would be too tight.

Window
Risk ATR Length: 7
Rolling ATR length used to measure current volatility for SL/TP sizing.
Stop Loss
SL = 0.5 × ATR
Stop-loss distance from entry. Tight enough for asymmetric R:R while respecting noise.
Take Profit
TP = 5 × ATR
Primary take-profit distance from entry. Built for ~10R structural moves under normal volatility.
Fallback
15 / 30 pts
Fixed SL / TP point fallback applied when ATR is unusually compressed.
Trailing
Trail = 0.3 × ATR
Trailing stop multiplier engaged after entry to lock in favorable moves.

The SL zone renders as a red shaded band on the TradingView chart, and the TP target as a green shaded band. Once price moves in your favor, the trailing stop tightens at 0.3 × ATR behind price to protect open profit while still giving the trade room to breathe through normal volatility. Default settings can be tuned in the indicator's input panel under Risk Management → ATR-Based SL/TP.

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 confidence score.
