AiM.RRR and AiM.RRR PB
This pair of studies for TradeStation calculates and plots the Reward-to-Risk Ratio (RRR) as an indicator and, separately, paints the bars of daily charts to help traders assess the potential reward relative to the risk of price movements over a specified period.

The PaintBar study visually represents the Reward-to-Risk Ratio (RRR) on daily charts, helping traders to quickly identify periods where potential reward outweighs risk through color-coded price bars.
Key Features
- Designed specifically for daily charts
- Calculates the Reward-to-Risk Ratio (RRR) as annualized return divided by volatility
- The indicator study color-codes the RRR plot for quick visual interpretation
- The PaintBar study color-codes price bars based on the RRR value for intuitive visual analysis, and complements the AiM.RRR indicator study with a different visualization approach
How to Apply
- Open a daily chart for your desired ticker symbol in TradeStation.
- From the EasyLanguage shortcut bar, select "Indicators" and choose AiM.RRR.
- From the EasyLanguage shortcut bar, select "PaintBar Studies" and choose AiM.RRR PB.
- Apply the study to your chart.
Note: This study is designed for daily charts only and will not function on other timeframes.
Inputs to Adjust
- Window (default: 63): The number of bars used for calculations. This represents approximately 3 months of trading days.
- Adjust this input based on your preferred analysis timeframe.
Interpreting the Results of the Indicator
- The indicator study plots a histogram representing the Reward-to-Risk Ratio (RRR).
- RRR values greater than 1 indicate that the potential reward exceeds the risk.
- RRR values less than 1 suggest that the risk outweighs the potential reward.
- Cyan color indicates RRR ≥ 1 (favorable risk-reward).
- Magenta color indicates RRR < 1 (unfavorable risk-reward).
- Higher RRR values generally suggest more attractive trading opportunities, balancing potential returns against volatility.
Interpreting the Results of the PaintBar
- Cyan-colored bars indicate RRR ≥ 1, suggesting the potential reward exceeds the risk.
- Magenta-colored bars indicate RRR < 1, suggesting the risk outweighs the potential reward.
- The color intensity remains constant; the color change itself signals the shift in risk-reward dynamics.
- Consecutive bars of the same color indicate persistent risk-reward conditions.
- Color changes may signal potential trend changes or new trading opportunities.
Additional Information
- RRR can be used to compare different assets or to track changes in the risk-reward profile of a single asset over time.
- The indicator study requires at least as many bars as specified in the Window input to start producing results.
- The PaintBar study complements the AiM.RRR indicator, offering a different visualization of the same underlying calculations. Use it in conjunction with the AiM.RRR indicator for a comprehensive view of risk-reward dynamics.
- Alerts are generated when the RRR crosses the threshold between favorable and unfavorable conditions.
