Understanding Position Sizing for Risk Management
Position sizing is crucial: it determines the number of units (shares, contracts) you allocate to a trade, directly impacting your potential loss if the trade goes against you. For instance, if you risk 1% of your capital per trade, a smaller account means smaller positions, ensuring no single loss is catastrophic, regardless of the instrument, be it $BOTZ at 33.83 or $RBLX at 47.55.

It's funny how quickly that 1% rule goes out the window the second you're sure this next one's a winner. Then again, that's usually when it's most needed.
