How I size positions

Every holding is a percentage of the portfolio, never a dollar amount, so you can mirror the weights at any account size. - Core positions: 10-15% - Satellites: 5-8% - Hedges (gold, bitcoin): 8-15% - Cash: whatever is left, and I am comfortable holding 20% or more In futures, the distance between entry and stop-loss decides the size - not the other way round. Leverage is a sizing tool, not a return target.
