Position Sizing Techniques to Manage Trading Risk 

Position Sizing Techniques to Manage Trading Risk 

Position sizing determines how much of your capital to allocate to a single trade. Proper position sizing ensures that no single trade can significantly impact your overall portfolio, preserving capital and reducing risk. 

Key Points

  • Risk Per Trade: Determine a fixed percentage of your capital to risk on each trade, typically 1-2%, to limit potential losses. 
  • Volatility-Based Sizing: Adjust your position size based on the volatility of the asset. More volatile assets should have smaller positions to manage risk effectively. 
  • Portfolio Diversification: Spread your investments across different assets to mitigate risk and reduce the impact of any single loss.
