| name | scalp-plan |
| description | Compute position size, stop, take-profit, notional and margin for a scalp trade given equity, $-risk, entry, and stop/target percentages. Use whenever the user asks "how much size / size this trade / plan this scalp / what's my stop and target". Pure math, no network, no API keys. |
scalp-plan
Takes a planned entry, your dollar risk, and a stop/TP percentage and returns
the exact qty, stop price, TP price, notional, and required margin. Rounds to
tick / lot so numbers are actually placeable on Bybit.
When to use
- "Size this for $25 risk"
- "What's my stop and target if I enter X at Y?"
- "Plan a long on SOLUSDT at $148"
How to run
python scalp-plan/plan.py \
--equity 500 --risk 25 \
--side long --entry 148.20 \
[--symbol SOLUSDT] \
[--stop-pct 1.5] [--tp-pct 2.0] \
[--tick 0.01] [--lot 0.001] \
[--leverage 10] [--json]
Defaults: stop 1.5%, TP 2.0%, leverage 10x, tick 0.01, lot 0.001. Override
--tick and --lot per instrument (Bybit's instruments-info endpoint has
the exact values).
Output
entry, stop, tp (tick-rounded)qty (lot-rounded, floored — never exceeds your $-risk)risk_actual (may be slightly under --risk due to lot rounding)notional, margin_required (at given leverage)r_r (target / stop distance)- warnings if qty rounds to zero, or if margin exceeds equity
Exit codes
- 0 on success, 1 if warnings fired (qty zero, margin > equity, etc.)
- script exits with a message if stop equals entry after rounding
Notes
- No network. Safe to run offline.
- Does not place any orders. Pairs with
bybit-trade for execution.
