When it comes to trading, understanding position sizing is crucial. The amount you risk per trade should be determined by your personal account size and risk tolerance, not just the attractiveness of a setup. Start by assessing your total account balance and decide what percentage of that you're willing to risk on a single trade—commonly, traders use 1-2%. Next, look at the trade's stop-loss level; for example, if you're entering a trade at $50 with a stop-loss at $48, that’s a $2 risk per share. Divide your risk amount by the risk per share to find out how many shares to buy. This disciplined approach helps manage risk and protects your capital over the long term. NeuralStocks applies this automatically on every scan, so you don't have to check it by hand. What strategies do you use to determine your position size when entering a trade?
