Understanding Position Sizing in Volatile Markets

It's easy to get carried away in high-momentum plays, but consistently overlooking proper position sizing is a fast track to account blow-ups. Especially with assets like $CRV, currently trading around $0.2156, where the daily range can be quite significant, determining your risk per trade before entry is crucial. A simple rule of thumb: never risk more than 1-2% of your total capital on any single trade, irrespective of your conviction. This disciplined approach ensures that even if you're wrong on a few consecutive trades, your capital base remains largely intact to participate in future opportunities.

Completely agree on the 1-2% rule, especially for highly volatile assets. It's often underestimated how quickly consecutive small losses can erode capital without proper sizing, even if the strategy itself is sound. Do you find your risk tolerance shifts at all depending on overall market conditions, or do you stick to a static percentage?
