If I suffer losses repeatedly, I start to think: what kind of position size is truly reasonable?
Many people believe that a position size of about 1% of the margin is reasonable. (BTC and ETH)
Many people believe that a position size of about 0.2% of the margin is reasonable. (Especially for altcoins.)
For example, my SOON strategy should have a reasonable margin:
#SOON Limit buy
Entry: 0.185-0.18, staggered entries
Stop loss: 0.1678
Take profit: 0.2967
Order logic: Buying on pullback when the price retraces to the 1-hour EMA200.
Note: My contract account has 1500 USDT, planning to buy worth 150 USDT, which is 0.1% of the margin.
