🧮 Position sizing is what decides everything for you even BEFORE you enter
Newbies ask "where to enter?". Experienced traders first calculate "how much to enter".
The idea is simple: you decide in advance how much you're willing to lose in a single trade. For example, 1% of your portfolio. Then, from that amount and the distance to your stop-loss, you calculate your position size — not the other way around.
Why this saves you: even a series of losing trades won't knock you out of the game. Your portfolio shrinks slowly, rather than disappearing overnight.
A large position "for fun" at $BTC — that's not bravery, that's a lottery without a ticket back.
First, risk, then entry. Always in that order.
NFA, DYOR — do the math yourself and make your own decisions. 🧭
