Position Sizing
Learn
- Position sizing = how much you risk per trade.
- Rule of thumb: risk 1–2% of capital per trade.
- Larger positions = more PnL swing but more risk.
Do
If you have $1000 and risk 1% per trade, what is your max loss per trade? If you risk 2%, how many consecutive losses before you're down 10%?
Reflect
- Why do pros keep position size small?
- How does our arena's max_position rule relate to this?
