50. How to Set Trade Position Size for Maximum Profits

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

http://www.informedtrades.com/
A leIn yesterday’s lesson we talked about the martingale and anti martingale methods of trading which are the two categories which position sizing methodologies fall into. In today’s lesson we are going to talk about one of the most basic anti martingale strategies, which is discussed in Dr. Van K. Tharp’s book Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom, the Percent Risk Model.

The first step in determining your position size using this method is to decide how much you are going to risk on each trade in terms of a percentage of your trading capital. As we have discussed in our previous lessons on setting stop losses, studies have proven that over the long term traders who risk more than 2% of their capital on any one trade normally are not successful over the long term. Another factor to consider here when setting this percentage are things such as the win rate (how many winning trades) your system is expected to have versus the number of losing trades as well as other components which we will discuss in future lessons.

Once this loss in percentage terms has been determined, setting your stop then becomes a function of knowing how large a position can be traded while still being below your maximum risk level.
