Position Sizing
Position sizing is the process of determining how large a security position should be in a portfolio. It is typically based on risk tolerance, available capital, and a defined risk per position to manage overall portfolio risk.
Example: A portfolio with $100,000 uses a fixed-dollar risk approach and, with a stop loss set at 5% below entry, sizes the position so the maximum potential loss on the trade would be about $500.
