Trading the Equity Curve Position Sizing Example

Script from: TradingViewLongTermTrend followingMomentumBotReversal

This strategy adjusts position size based on your portfolio's performance. It uses moving averages on your equity curve to detect drawdowns. When a downturn is signaled (e.g., a fast SMA crosses below a slow SMA), your position size is automatically reduced by a specified percentage to minimize risk. A risk-seeking option allows increasing size instead, aiming to recover from drawdowns faster.
