📏 Position Sizing

Learn how to decide share size based on risk amount, stop distance, and account protection.

1) Position Size Rule

Your position size should come from risk, not emotion.
The number of shares should be calculated from how much you are willing to lose if the trade fails.

2) Formula

Position Size = Risk Amount ÷ Stop Distance

Example: If risk amount is $25 and stop distance is $0.25, position size is 100 shares.
Input Example Explanation
Risk Amount $25 Maximum planned loss
Entry $10.00 Planned buy price
Stop $9.75 Invalidation price
Stop Distance $0.25 Entry - Stop
Shares 100 $25 ÷ $0.25

3) Position Sizing Mistakes

  • ! Buying random share size without calculating risk.
  • ! Increasing size after a loss to recover quickly.
  • ! Using too wide a stop without reducing share size.
  • ! Averaging down until the position becomes too large.
  • Adjust share size so the maximum loss stays controlled.

4) Recovery Position Rule

When averaging down, your total position risk matters.
Do not only calculate the new shares. Check the full position size, total cost, break-even level, and stop-loss impact after averaging.
