If you want to stay in the game and make it as a trader, you need to get position sizing right. Too many traders focus on win rates without realizing that one bad trade can wipe out dozens of small gains.
Instead of asking how much you can make, ask yourself how much you can lose if everything goes to hell.
In today’s video, I’ll break down different trade setups and the risk percentage you should consider for each. Whether you love weekly options or prefer swing trades…
Here’s how to manage risk like a pro:
📉 High-risk trades — weekly options on earnings.
⚡ Risky trades — weekly out-the-money options on high-beta stocks: Think AMD, Nvidia, Tesla.
🛢️ Medium-risk trades — front-month options on stable stocks.
💰 Large positions — in-the-money calls with time to expiration: When conditions are right, this is where I push size.
Keep these rules in mind, manage your risk, and let’s keep stacking wins — check out my video up top for the full rundown!
