[@stuartgibson9755]

This has got to be the most useful trading video on the Internet. Thank you so much.

[@TradingView]

Wow, thanks! Best part: more videos coming.

[@quleer1671]

I don't know why when I am searching how to use this tool this is the only video that explain it literally. Thanks for explaining it man

[@dylan_711]

Exactly my thought. Trying to figure out how to use it with options.

[@TradingView]

That's why we made the video! And more videos are on the way.

[@seattledubsix7109]

Thanks for the info I think many of us in the comments were looking to see if we can create our order from this tool so we didnt have to manually put values in box. Answer is Yes, Right click on you box and click down to CREATE LIMIT ORDER it will fill in the values... But in the box on the side you will still have to enter position size...leverage ect. Good luck learning yall. You got this! Change your life!

95% of trader lose learn to hold. No one goes from broke to rich without market pain. Stop selling and buying on emotion. Buy. Hold. Get through the pain. In 10years you"ll do great. Don't buy meme coins.

What does the account size, lot size and risk do in the long or short position tool?

[@amitsuri1872]

I am still trying to find an answer to this too for years now. I even asked Trading View and they were unable to answer it.

[@CountTrader]

@@amitsuri1872 I figured some of it out. You can put your total account balance in and it’ll tell you what you account total will be after the trade’s take profit or stop loss depending on the percentage of the account you’re risking on the trade.

[@MatriXU100_]

The explanation of long and short positions was clear and concise, making it easy to understand for both beginners and experienced traders alike.

[@rasheedadelowo2188]

Thank you soo much for this video. Much love from Nigeria. Please how can I get this volume profile available?

[@brandonweemhoff9242]

It would be really beneficial if you automatically adjusted the lot size based on their risk amount percentage.

[@quincybaker4615]

Yes, instead of users utilizing an external online position lot size calculator, why not build the calculator function directly into the order panel and long/short position tools. It would be also nice if paper trading allowed simulated leverage trading, wherein you could input the leverage criteria if your broker for accurate real life simulation. For example if your broker provides 50:1 leverage you could enter this.

The calculations (besides being complicated) shared in the tradingview "how to use" doc (that pointed me to this video) references field value names that are not referenced anywhere else (point value?) and are circular (RiskSize = Risk...??).

Because there's no way with a $1k account I'm looking at a quantity of 163398. Thank you and appreciate your time!

A great tool for planning trades. However, it doesn't seem very efficient to plan it all with this tool to then have to enter all the values in manually afterwards to actually place the trade. Would be much more efficient to have a place trade button with this tool especially if you're trading on quicker time frames like 1 minute or lower.

YES. 1000%. This is the best way one could ever plan out an order...but then you have to manually enter it into the order window!! TradingView, there's no way you haven't considered this...can you help us understand why there's no ability to execute the trade from this tool?
