Question on position sizing for illiquid assets
Still getting a handle on risk management, especially with some of the smaller cap coins. How do experienced traders here factor in illiquidity when determining their position size beyond just a standard percentage of account value?

For illiquid assets, I factor in the potential slippage on a market order that would exit my entire position, and keep that potential loss within my usual risk per trade. It's not just about the percentage of account value, but also the percentage of the available order book depth you're trying to fill.
