When trading, capital management has always been an important aspect.
Many people emphasize light positions, claiming it can reduce risk; there are also many who emphasize heavy positions, stating that one must seize opportunities, and light positions cannot achieve that.
So, should it be light positions or heavy positions?
In fact, this can be considered from several aspects:
First, your level of ability. If you are very skilled at entering the market and can often get in at the explosive point of the market, then of course you should seize the opportunity with heavy positions.
If your entry ability is weak, then light positions are definitely better, and a wider stop-loss is more beneficial; otherwise, you will repeatedly hit stop-losses.
Second, your level of desire. If your desire is strong, your position must be heavier; if your desire is small, your position should be lighter.
Third, your risk tolerance. In a single trade, how much loss can you accept? If you have a high tolerance, your position will certainly be high; if you cannot accept a large drawdown, your position will definitely be light.
Therefore, whether to use heavy positions or light positions depends on the individual, the matching degree of ability, desire, and risk tolerance. What suits you best is the best; what works for others may not necessarily suit you.
