🎯 Why Position Size Matters More Than Entry
Most traders obsess over entries:
• The cleanest breakout
• The tightest support
• The “smart money” confirmation
Here’s the uncomfortable truth: a perfect entry with poor position sizing can still destroy your account.
1️⃣ Entries Win Trades. Position Size Protects Careers.
You could be right 60% of the time and still lose if your exposure is too big.
Example:
Trader A wins 70% but risks 15% per trade — one normal loss wipes out a huge chunk of their account.
Trader B wins 50% but risks 1% per trade — even with more losses, their account grows steadily.
Lesson: Proper sizing > perfect entry.
2️⃣ The Illusion of Precision
Markets are noisy. Even the best setups fail. Your edge is surviving imperfect outcomes. Position size keeps you in the game long enough for it to play out.
3️⃣ Volatility Doesn’t Care About Confidence
A chart might “look obvious,” but volatility moves without warning. Oversized positions turn normal pullbacks into emotional disasters. Proper sizing keeps your logic intact.
4️⃣ The Professional Rule
Disciplined traders risk 1–2% per trade — not due to lack of confidence, but because they think in 100-trade samples, not one “big win.”
💡 Final Thought:
Your entry determines where you start. Your position size determines whether you survive.
One strategy mastered with proper sizing beats ten perfect entries with reckless exposure. You don’t lose because you’re wrong — you lose because you were too big when you were wrong.
