Ignoring Position Size – Position Sizing
BTC • ETH • SOL coins
Real-life example:
A trader enters a single SOL trade with 50% of their capital
A 22% loss = a loss of approximately half the account
Entering with a position size that is far too large magnifies the loss’s impact on the entire account
Reasons:
> • Overconfidence
> • Failure to calculate risk
> • Trader psychology: greed
Steps to protect yourself:
1- Don’t risk more than 1–2% of your capital on a single trade
2- Calculate your position size before entering a trade
3- Use a risk calculator to determine the contract size accurately
4- Stick to your percentage, no matter how confident you feel
