Stock Position Size tells you “how much” or “how big” of a position to take given your account size. In short, it answers your question of “How many shares should I buy?”
Position sizing is arguably the most important aspect of trading but it is also the most neglected.
Fix % of Account Sizing - Stock Position Size calculates the position size to take base on your account size and amount of loss which you are comfortable with. This put a cap on the amount of money you might lose. It also shows your potential profit versus potential loss.
Are you UNDER TRADING? - Most retail investors under-trade their account, simply trading the minimum number of shares or what they feel’ is right. The stock you researched extensively for months shot up in price and you have ...... only bought 100 share of it. Does this sound familiar to you?
Or are you OVER TRADING? - Trading too big a position given their account size is a common mistake among novice traders. Greed overcomes you and you are trading a huge position on the hot stock in town. It suddenly drop in price.... your account goes burst before the price recovers. Over-trading is the main cause of most traders’ failure.
In short, Stock Position Size helps traders trade at the optimal size, maximizing your gains and limiting your loss.
