Position Sizing
Position sizing determines how much capital to allocate to each trade. It is directly linked to risk management.
Formula approach:
Capital × Risk per trade = Maximum loss allowed
For example, if you have ₹1,00,000 and risk 1%, your maximum loss per trade is ₹1,000. Based on your stop-loss distance, you can calculate the number of shares to buy.
Timeframes for Swing Trading
Swing traders typically use multiple timeframes:
Daily chart: Primary trend
4-hour chart: Entry confirmation
Weekly chart: Overall market context
Using multiple timeframes improves accuracy and helps avoid false signals.
