What Others Have to Say About Position Sizing Techniques

Position size techniques may be the most crucial component of a trading strategy. Using the right position sizing techniques may make all the difference in whether you win big or lose a lot of money. Trader Mike, online at tradermike.net

To manage one’s risk and practice sound’money management,’ at least in non-academic literature, is one of the keys to success. Money management is not well defined, and trading instructor Van K. Tharp claims that it is not necessarily “risk control,” “diversification,” or “how one makes trading decisions,” as these terms are commonly used to mean (Tharp). Implementing money management solutions is what leads to risk reduction and profit maximization. According to Tharp, “Money management or position sizing provides a solution to the issue of how much or how many.” — Johan Ginyard, Uppsala University, Department of Psychology, Sweden, Masters Thesis

“Money management is like sex: Everyone engages in it in some capacity, but few enjoy discussing it, and some are better at it than others. But there is a notable distinction: Web sites dedicated to sex are widely available, but it can be challenging to discover pages about the art and science of managing money. — Gibbons Burke, found online at turtletrader.com

“Money management may mean the difference between success and failure if you have a profitable strategy. In terms of risk management, I strive to be conservative. I want to be certain that I’ll be available for tomorrow’s game. Controlling risk is crucial.” Trout from Monroe

“Dr. Tharp has emerged as the primary authority on what ‘Money Management’ actually entails. Many traders, especially “beginners,” are preoccupied with their technical method, easy entry criteria, and most likely stops, but completely ignore position sizing, risking far more money than is prudent, especially if trading is their planned source of income. — Serious Trading Demands Money Management, Elitetrader.com’s “AMG” Review

How different is the e-course from your book, The Definitive Guide to Position Sizing?

A: The e-course serves as a primer on position sizing techniques. It includes fundamental information and provides a strong foundation for comprehending and applying the ideas. The Definite Guide covers a wide range of the subject and delves deeply into technical details in many instances. It really is extremely conclusive. Many individuals find the subject of position scaling tactics to be complex, and they struggle to understand and put the concepts from the book into practice. We created the e-course for two main demographics: auditory/visual learners who learn best from an interactive format, and people who are not interested in the more complex technical details of position sizing strategies but realize that learning about the subject would still be beneficial to their trading.

Will The Definitive Guide to Position Sizing be available in electronic format?

A: We don’t have any intentions to provide the Definitive Guide electronically.

Do position sizing tactics at the portfolio level get covered in the IPSS course? For instance, if I traded S&P 500 equities, I may hold up to ten active positions at any given moment. There may be 0 – 10 available positions at any given time. This is not sequential stock trading.

A: Although the issue is not directly covered in the course, the ideas taught in the IPSS may be utilized at the portfolio level. In his book The Definitive Guide to Position Sizing, Dr. Tharp expands on this subject and offers recommendations on appropriate portfolio risk levels.

At $149, this course offers excellent value.
