Position sizing

Choosing how many contracts or lots to trade based on the cash you'll risk.

Position sizing converts a risk budget into a quantity: decide the cash you will risk, divide by your stop distance times the per-unit value, and round down to whole contracts (or compute lots for forex).

It is the single biggest lever over drawdown. Sizing so a normal losing streak never approaches the daily loss limit is what keeps an account alive.
