Position Sizing
Position sizing is the single most important risk management decision in trading. Your entry signal determines direction; your position size determines survival. A mediocre strategy with proper sizing will outperform a great strategy with reckless sizing over any meaningful time horizon.
Core principle: Size determines survival, not entries. Two traders with the same signals but different sizing will have wildly different outcomes. The one who sizes conservatively survives drawdowns and compounds capital; the one who oversizes blows up.
