4.6 Deterministic Leverage & TP/SL Derivation

From the global constraints, define:

B_pos = B / N
G = P / N
L_pos = L / N

Profit-Bounded Leverage

L_TP,min = 100 · G / (B · TP_max)
L_TP,max = 100 · G / (B · TP_min)

Loss-Bounded Leverage

L_SL,min = 100 · L_pos / (B · SL_max)
L_SL,max = 100 · L_pos / (B · SL_min)

Feasible Leverage Interval

L_feasible ∈ [ max(L_TP,min, L_SL,min, L_min),  min(L_TP,max, L_SL,max, L_max) ]

TP/SL Calculation

For a selected leverage L_sel within this range:

TP% = (G / (B · L_sel)) · 100
SL% = (L_pos / (B · L_sel)) · 100

Risk–Reward Ratio

RRR = TP% / SL% = G / L_pos
Dollar-Constant Risk

This structure keeps dollar risk and reward constant while percentage TP/SL levels compress as leverage increases.

The absolute dollar amounts remain fixed by your Discipline Profile, but the percentage distances scale inversely with leverage.
