You'll spend 3 hours researching a token. Then 3 seconds deciding how much to buy. The second decision is the one that wipes people out. Here's the simple framework I use to size every position: 1. Decide how much you're okay losing first. Say you have a $50K portfolio. You find a token you like. If the trade goes wrong, you're okay losing 2% of the portfolio. So your max loss is $1,000. You buy at $2.50 and decide you'll sell if it drops to $1.50. That's a 40% drop. So: $1,000 ÷ 40% = $2,500 position. You put $2,500 in. If it falls 40% and you exit, you lose $1,000. Not a cent more. 2. You don't need to buy everything at once. This is where most people mess up. They find something they like and put the full amount in immediately. Instead, start small. Maybe you're comfortable putting $2,500 in eventually. Start with $800 to $1,000. If the project keeps doing what you expected and price moves your way, add more. If you were wrong, you found out with a small position instead of taking the full hit. 3. Think about what happens BEFORE the token hits your target. Maybe you think something eventually does 3x. Alrighty, cool. But can you handle it dropping 20% first? Can you hold if nothing happens for two months? Can you sit through a few ugly red days without panicking? Being right eventually doesn't help if your position is so big that you sell on the first dip. 4. If a position is stressing you out, it's too big. If you're checking the chart every 10 minutes, losing sleep, moving your stop, or your mood swings every time the token moves… Reduce the size and you'll sleep way better. You should be able to be wrong without it ruining your week. That's the biggest thing I've learned about position sizing. Bear markets don't take people out of the game. The first few bullish months do, because that's when everyone quietly doubles their size and stops thinking about the downside. Go smaller than your gut tells you.
