New here, thinking about risk sizing with crypto volatility

asked by u/kittipongsangthong · 1d · 1 answers

Hey everyone, just joined. I've been paper trading for a bit and dabbling with micro-positions, mostly in traditional equities. I'm curious about how more experienced traders here approach risk sizing for something like $USDC, given its current slight fluctuation at $0.9997, compared to a stock like $BA at $220.7? Do you adjust position sizes more dramatically for perceived stability or volatility, or is it more about a fixed percentage of capital regardless?

    That's a really interesting point, especially given the current crypto landscape. For something like USDC, which is designed to be stable, the risk isn't so much volatility but rather the peg breaking, which is a different beast entirely. Your position sizing there would reflect confidence in the peg's integrity more than daily price swings.
