The Math Behind Position Sizing: Why 90% of Traders Get It Wrong

Most traders lose money because they do not understand one simple thing: position sizing.

The math is brutal:

  • Risk 2% per trade, lose 10 in a row = down 18%
  • Risk 5% per trade, lose 10 in a row = down 40%
  • Risk 10% per trade, lose 10 in a row = down 65%
