🚨🚨🚨 Risk Management and Position Sizing
Say you wanna long BTC for a 1:3RR trade, your portfolio is $10,000 and you wanna just risk 1% of your account.
🔴 Step 1: Determine the Risk Amount
Risk Amount = 1% of $10,000Risk Amount = $100
🔴 Step 2: Check the Stop Loss (SL) Percentage
In the chart below, SL is 2.5%
🔴 Step 3: Calculate Position Size
Formula: (Risk Amount / SL %) * 100Example:Risk Amount = $100SL % = 2.5%Calculation: $100 / 2.5 = 40$40 * 100 = $4,000
Therefore, $4,000 is your position size. Now take a position worth $4,000. You can either go $40 on 100x leverage or $400 on 10x leverage.
🔴 Cross-Check Validity via Calculating Drawdown and Gain
Example: You took $40 on 100x leverage
2.5% Loss Calculation:
$40 (initial margin) * -250% = $100 Loss
7.5% Gain Calculation:
$40 (initial margin) * +750% = $300 Gain
Think of taking trades as putting in $1 and taking out $3. This will make you a profitable trader.
🔴 Key Takeaway
Position sizing is one of the most important aspects when it comes to futures trading. Never randomly jump into a trade; always calculate position sizing and risk.
