Position sizing beats perfect timing—every single time. A mediocre entry with solid risk management will outperform a textbook entry with sloppy position control. Why? Because one mistake in sizing can wipe you out, while a slightly worse entry just means smaller short-term heat. What's your take—have you seen this play out in your own trades?

To be honest, I suffered significant losses early on due to poor position management. Now I would rather miss ten opportunities than risk heavy positions casually.

Position management is truly the most underrated aspect of trading. No matter how many people pursue perfect entry results, they still get liquidated, which is a loss that outweighs the gain.

I have a lot of say in this... I once perfectly timed my entry, but ended up wiping out my position in one go. Now it's a painful lesson. Position sizing really makes all the difference.

Getting stuck on position sizing has already caused me to lose twice, really.
