Why Position Sizing is Important?

Position sizing is one of the most critical aspects of risk management in trading. It determines how many shares or contracts you should trade to ensure you don't lose more than a specific percentage of your capital on a single trade.

Key Benefits:

  • Protects your trading capital from significant drawdowns
  • Helps you stay in the game long enough to be profitable
  • Removes emotional decision-making from trade sizing
  • Allows you to survive a string of losing trades

By sticking to a consistent risk percentage (e.g., 1% or 2% per trade), you ensure that no single loss can severely damage your portfolio.
