Position Sizing
Risk Management
Ce que ça veut dire
Deciding how many shares or contracts to trade based on how much you are willing to lose, not on how confident you feel.
Exemple
With a $10,000 account, 1% risk ($100), a $100 entry, and a $95 stop ($5 risk per share), you buy 20 shares. The size comes from the risk, not from "I think it will win."
L'erreur des débutants
Beginners size positions by gut: "buy 1,000 shares because I am sure." Sizing by confidence, not by risk, is how one bad trade wipes out months of gains.
