Updated RISK
## Main Purpose
The indicator calculates and displays risk levels based on margin requirements and daily settlement prices, helping traders visualize their potential risk exposure.
## Key Features
**Inputs:**
- **Margin for Calculation**: The CME long margin requirement for the asset
- **HTF Margin Line**: An anchor point for higher timeframe margin calculations
**Core Calculations:**
1. **Settlement Price Tracking**: Captures daily settlement prices during specific session times (6:58-6:59 PM ET for close, 6:00-6:01 PM ET for new day open)
2. **Risk Percentage**: Calculates `margin / (point value × settlement price)` - with special handling for Micro contracts (symbols starting with "M") that uses 10× point value
3. **Risk Intervals**: Determines price intervals representing one margin unit of risk
## Visual Display
The indicator plots multiple risk levels on the chart:
- **Settlement price** (orange circles)
- **Globex open** (green circles)
- **Upper/Lower Risk levels** (red circles) - one and two risk intervals away
- **Subdivision levels** (blue crosses) - 25%, 50%, and 75% of each risk interval
- **MHP+ level** (black crosses) - HTF anchor adjusted by risk percentage
- **HTF Anchor** (black crosses)
## Practical Use
This helps futures traders:
- Visualize how far price can move before hitting margin calls
- See risk levels relative to daily settlements
- Plan position sizing and risk management
- Understand exposure in terms of actual margin requirements
The indicator essentially transforms abstract margin numbers into concrete price levels on the chart, making risk management more visual and intuitive.
