The Position Sizing Mistake That Blows Up 90% of Trading Accounts

Most traders obsess over entries. "What should I buy? When should I enter?"


Wrong question.


The question that actually determines whether you make money: "How much should I risk?"


Here's what I see constantly — someone finds a great setup, goes in with 10-20% of their account, and gets stopped out. One trade. Account down 15%. Now they need a 17.6% gain just to break even. Three bad trades in a row? Down 40%. Game over.


The fix is dead simple:


Never risk more than 1-2% of your account on a single trade.


That means if you have a $10,000 account and your stop loss is $5 away from entry, your position size is:


($10,000 × 0.01) / $5 = 20 shares


Not 200. Not "however much I can afford." Twenty.


"But that's boring. I won't make any money."


Wrong again. Here's the math:


  • Risk 1% per trade

  • Average 3:1 reward-to-risk

  • Win 40% of the time (which is conservative)


After 100 trades: +80% return on your account. While never risking more than 1% on any single trade.


The traders who survive aren't the ones who hit home runs. They're the ones who never blow up.


This is what we teach inside Signal Vault — not just what to trade, but how to trade it without destroying your account.
