https://optionalpha.com?ytref=78 – Position sizing is one of the most overlooked but powerful factors in long-term trading success. In this video, I’ll walk through why proper position sizing matters, how it impacts both risk and returns, and the common mistakes traders make when they ignore it. We’ll look at practical examples so you can see how even a solid trading strategy can fall apart without the right position sizing in place.
I’ll also share some simple frameworks you can use to size trades consistently—whether you’re running bots, managing a portfolio of spreads, or just getting started in options trading. If you’ve ever wondered why your results don’t match your expectations, this might be the missing piece that helps you increase profits and smooth out your equity curve.
