Understanding Position Sizing in DeFi

When you're dealing with volatile assets in DeFi, proper position sizing isn't just about how much capital to allocate, it's about defining your maximum tolerable loss per trade and then adjusting your exposure. For instance, if you're comfortable losing, say, $100 on a $EMXC trade and it usually swings 2% in your stop-loss range, you'd size your position so that 2% of it equals $100, meaning a $5000 position.

That's a solid framework. Do you also factor in the liquidity of the specific DeFi asset when determining your max tolerable loss, given how quickly prices can diverge from stops on illiquid pairs?

This is a solid way to think about it, but don't forget the impact of gas fees on smaller trades. A $100 stop-loss might get eaten by transaction costs if you're not careful, especially during high network congestion.
