Risk Ladder
ProductionPosition sizing via the risk ladder — multiple risk boxes for a single symbol, each with a calculated share count.
Position sizing and position limits
A risk ladder turns one setup into several pre-computed share counts, each tied to a different stop and a different R multiple. Position limits come from the worst-case rung, not the best-case. The Risk Ladder layout builds these ladders visually in TC2000 using the Fibonacci Projection tool.
Risk Ladder
Draw a visual risk ladder in TC2000. Horizontal lines spaced at equal risk-box units help you size positions and make clean entry/exit decisions.
- Open the Risk Ladder layout. Locate the open price and the -4R (or +4R) price for your symbol.
- Example: symbol AA. Open = 35.06, -4F = 33.19.
- Click the Fibonacci Projection tool (one-time setup required, see the full deck).
- Click on the open price, drag down to the -4R price, then release.
- You now have a Frog Risk Ladder with four rungs, equidistant at one risk-box each.
"Jumping into a trade without a measured risk box is like riding a roller coaster without a seatbelt." The Risk Ladder makes the seatbelt visible — every horizontal line is one unit of risk.
