Watch Jack trade
Jack trades futures live on NinjaTrader's own YouTube channel several times a week. Every show is recorded, so you can watch how he sizes and manages real trades.
The method behind Jack's indicators: set the stop from ATR, then size the position so a fast market and a slow market cost the same dollars when you're wrong.

The problem the tools solve
When the market speeds up, your stop has to sit further away. Keep the same size and one bad trade costs three times as much, which is how most accounts and prop evaluations get blown. ATR sizing cuts the size when the market is fast, so the dollars at risk stay the same.
Example: Micro E-mini S&P (MES) at $5 a point, stop at 1.5 × ATR, risk budget $180 a trade. Numbers are for illustration, not a recommendation.
Stop rounded to the market's price step. Before fees and slippage; a real loss can be larger.

About Jack
Jack opened his first account in 2008 with $1,000 and grew it to $5,000 trading options. Then he lost all of it. He moved to futures, passed a trading combine and was backed with the firm's capital.
In 2012 tastytrade gave him his own show, where he taught futures and options to more than 40,000 people. He later traded at a proprietary firm and earned his Series 56 license.
Today he trades live on NinjaTrader Live and builds the tools he uses on his own charts, starting with ATR position sizing.

Questions
ATR position sizing sets your stop from the market's Average True Range (ATR), then picks the number of contracts so the dollars at risk stay the same on every trade. When the market is fast the stop sits further away and you trade fewer contracts. When it is quiet you trade more. With a $180 risk budget on the Micro E-mini S&P (MES), that is 3 contracts when ATR is 8 points and 1 contract when ATR is 24 points.
