Like a secondary option instead of using SL. such as:
Instead of risk % of equity per trade (per SL), it could be risk % of equity per ATR.
or
Instead of risk $100 per trade (per SL), we could choose to risk $100 per ATR.

This works nicely if we peg the ATR to ~10 Daily bar ATR. Holds steady but fluctuates a little. This way we have position sizing rule that is steady (so we do not curve fit to the larger position winning trade iterations when there is a volatile SL or exit rules) but yet is still volatility based and can be blanketed across multiple markets.

Make it sense to make the position sizing more flexible? the SQ can search for a formular for position sizing?


But more flexibility make more curvefitting.


About position sizing there is many in the web.

I think the moneymanagement in SQ is expandable

At the moment there is no more explanation for this in the documentation.


We need a documentation for this. Better an example.
