I thought position sizing was just risk management.
I was completely wrong.
THE PROBLEM:
$2,000 risk per trade. Every tick felt like a threat.
I moved stops. Exited early. Broke every rule.
40% of my trades: I interfered and lost $400 average.
Perfect analysis. Terrible execution.
THE SOLUTION I RESISTED FOR A YEAR:
Dropped to $600 risk. Not by choice. My account forced me.
EVERYTHING CHANGED:
Same setups. Same strategy. Different size.
Execution became effortless.
Manual exits dropped from 40% to under 10%.
Next 6 months: best results of my career.
THE TRUTH:
Position sizing isn't risk management.
It's psychological management.
When you risk an amount that worries you, you trade with emotions, not your system.
Lower your risk. Not forever.
Until your execution no longer needs support.
The long way is the short way.
