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.

AiM.RRR and AiM.RRR PB

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

  1. Designed specifically for daily charts
  2. Calculates the Reward-to-Risk Ratio (RRR) as annualized return divided by volatility
  3. The indicator study color-codes the RRR plot for quick visual interpretation
  4. 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

  1. Open a daily chart for your desired ticker symbol in TradeStation.
  2. From the EasyLanguage shortcut bar, select "Indicators" and choose AiM.RRR.
  3. From the EasyLanguage shortcut bar, select "PaintBar Studies" and choose AiM.RRR PB.
  4. 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

  1. Window (default: 63): The number of bars used for calculations. This represents approximately 3 months of trading days.
  2. Adjust this input based on your preferred analysis timeframe.

Interpreting the Results of the Indicator

  1. The indicator study plots a histogram representing the Reward-to-Risk Ratio (RRR).
  2. RRR values greater than 1 indicate that the potential reward exceeds the risk.
  3. RRR values less than 1 suggest that the risk outweighs the potential reward.
  4. Cyan color indicates RRR ≥ 1 (favorable risk-reward).
  5. Magenta color indicates RRR < 1 (unfavorable risk-reward).
  6. Higher RRR values generally suggest more attractive trading opportunities, balancing potential returns against volatility.

Interpreting the Results of the PaintBar

  1. Cyan-colored bars indicate RRR ≥ 1, suggesting the potential reward exceeds the risk.
  2. Magenta-colored bars indicate RRR < 1, suggesting the risk outweighs the potential reward.
  3. The color intensity remains constant; the color change itself signals the shift in risk-reward dynamics.
  4. Consecutive bars of the same color indicate persistent risk-reward conditions.
  5. Color changes may signal potential trend changes or new trading opportunities.

Additional Information

  1. RRR can be used to compare different assets or to track changes in the risk-reward profile of a single asset over time.
  2. The indicator study requires at least as many bars as specified in the Window input to start producing results.
  3. 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.
  4. Alerts are generated when the RRR crosses the threshold between favorable and unfavorable conditions.
