Position sizing has the most impact on your P&L, so make sure you get it right.

In strongly trending markets, you can throw a dart to pick your entry and make a ton of cash.

Trade to big and bad news and bad luck can hurt you badly and destabilize you for weeks or months. Trade to small and never get anywhere for all your efforts (it's possible to trade too small and not have enough risk to meet your financial goals).

In this episode, Michael Martin discusses several things to consider as you carve out your methodology for position sizing.
