Position sizing isn't one-size-fits-all. Where you start depends on your current experience and what gaps you need to fill. Answer these questions honestly to figure out where you belong.
Are You New to Trading?
If you've never calculated a position size before, our foundation track starts with the Kelly Criterion basics and walks you through your first calculations step by step.
Do You Overtrade?
Many traders know the formulas but ignore them under pressure. Our behavioral module addresses why you take positions that are too large and how to build better habits.
Need Portfolio Context?
Sizing a single position is different from managing a portfolio. We cover correlation adjustments, sector exposure limits, and how to scale across multiple positions without overcommitting.
Risk Per Trade
Most traders start by risking 1-2% of capital per position. We'll show you how to calculate this precisely and why consistency matters more than the exact percentage you choose.
Stop Loss Integration
Your position size depends on where you place your stop. Learn to work backward from your risk limit to determine how many shares or contracts you can safely hold.
Volatility Adjustment
High volatility stocks require smaller positions. We teach you to factor in ATR and historical volatility so your sizing adapts to current market conditions automatically.
Correlation Awareness
Holding five tech stocks isn't the same as five uncorrelated positions. Discover how to adjust your sizing when positions move together, protecting against concentrated sector risk.

Real Results from Real Traders
These folks went through the program and changed how they approach position sizing. Their accounts reflect it.
I used to size my positions based on how confident I felt. Bad idea. Learning the Kelly formula showed me I was consistently oversizing winners and undersizing the trades that actually had better risk-reward. My win rate didn't change much, but my account finally started growing steadily.
The correlation module was eye-opening. I thought I was diversified, but when tech sold off in January 2025, almost everything I held dropped together. Now I calculate portfolio heat properly and limit exposure to correlated sectors. It's made a huge difference in how I sleep during volatile weeks.
