How to Use Position Sizing

📊 Why Position Sizing Matters

Position sizing is crucial for managing risk in crypto trading. It determines how much of an asset to buy based on your risk tolerance, ensuring you never lose more than you're comfortable with on a single trade.

💡 The 2% Rule

Most professional traders risk only 1-2% of their capital per trade. This means if you have $10,000, you should risk no more than $200 per trade. This protects your capital during losing streaks.

🎯 Setting Stop Losses

A stop loss is your exit price if the trade goes against you. Place it at a level where your trading idea is invalidated - typically below support levels or based on percentage from entry.
