Open Live ScreenerPosition sizing determines how much capital to allocate to a single trade. The golden rule: never risk more than 1-2% of your account on any single trade. This ensures that even a string of losses won't blow your account.
Position Size = Risk Amount / Stop Loss Distance. If your $10,000 account risks 2% ($200) and your stop loss is 3% away from entry, your position size should be $200 / 0.03 = $6,667.
Most traders who blow their accounts do so because of position sizing, not bad entries. A 50% win rate strategy with proper 1:2 risk-reward and 2% risk per trade is profitable. The same strategy with 10% risk per trade leads to ruin.
