hi i needed some help/opinions regarding position sizing i've been going over my trades (been trading for two years): turns out i started slipping mid oct so its been one month, coicedentally thats also when the index started falling. also since the first of october ive been trying some position size variations - i've been giving my positions sizes ranging from aggressive (10% < aggressive <= 25%) to timid (2.5% < timid < 10%) what i think has happened is that even though my calls are still 60% correct the varying position sizes have amplified my losses (down -5% this month to date (largest loss since feb2008 to date)) they also amplified my profit (my high for the month was +8% which is the highest i have had during a month in the last one year) dont know if that trade off of risk/reward is worth the swing of 13%, for now ive scaled all my positions below 5% as my confidence seems to have been effected... your opinions/comments would be extremely helpful concerning the trade off between volatility and performance thanks *PS 1. i dont use any leverage, 2. trade based on delivery in the karachi stock exchange. 3. i beat the index both years that i have been trading
