Position Sizing Principles

2-5% Rule

Conservative position sizing: 2-5% of account per position. This allows 20-50 positions for full diversification.

Sector Limits

Max 25-30% in any one sector. Tech crash? Energy collapse? You're diversified across the market.

Cash Buffer

Keep 10-20% in cash. Never fully deployed = no forced selling in downturns. Dry powder for opportunities.
