๐ฏ THE DISCIPLINED TRADER ยท POST 3
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Position sizing โ the rule that saves
your account when everything else fails.
You can have the best system in the world.
If your position size is wrong โ
one bad trade ends the game.
Here's exactly how I calculate every entry.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ THE ONLY FORMULA YOU NEED
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Position Size = Risk $ รท SL Distance
Margin = Position Size ร Entry รท Leverage
Risk $ = the maximum you are willing to
lose on this trade. That's it.

๐ TIER RULES
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ต Tier 1 โ BTC / ETH
โ 5x leverage ยท $50 max risk ยท $500 max margin
๐ฃ Tier 2 โ Major Alts (High Conf only)
โ 3x leverage ยท $35 max risk ยท $300 max margin
๐ก Tier 3 โ Small Alts (Perfect setup only)
โ 2x leverage ยท $25 max risk ยท $200 max margin

๐ข REAL EXAMPLE โ BTC LONG
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Entry โ $83,500
Stop Loss โ $82,250 (โ$1,250)
Take Profit โ $87,250 (+$3,750)
Risk Amount โ $50
Position Size โ $50 รท $1,250 = 0.04 BTC
Margin Used โ 0.04 ร $83,500 รท 5 = $668
Risk/Reward โ 1:3 โ

๐ THE 5 IRON RULES
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ Never exceed defined risk per tier
๐ SL is set at entry โ NEVER moved
โ๏ธ Minimum 1:2 risk/reward โ or skip
๐ซ One trade at a time. Always.
๐ Macro headwind = reduce size 25%
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
โ MOST TRADERS size based on confidence
โ
THE SYSTEM sizes based on SL distance
โ Double up after a loss
โ
Fixed risk โ same every trade
โ One bad trade = blown account
โ
100 losses can't blow the account
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ก "Size kills more accounts than bad
analysis ever will. The best trade idea
means nothing if the position size is wrong."
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
What % of your account do you risk
per trade right now? ๐
(No judgment โ let's talk about it)
