After watching dozens of traders lose money not from bad trades but from sizing errors, we realized something. Most education focuses on finding entries and exits. Almost nobody talks about how much to risk per trade.
So in early 2020, we built a small workshop series in Jeonju. Just twelve traders sitting around talking through Kelly Criterion, fixed fractional sizing, and what actually happens when you risk too much on correlated positions.
Those workshops turned into something bigger. By 2022, we had traders joining from Seoul, Busan, and eventually other countries. They weren't looking for magic indicators or secret patterns. They wanted to understand the math that keeps you in the game long enough to profit from good trades.
Before you learn any strategy, we teach you how to calculate position size based on your account equity, risk tolerance, and stop distance. Because the best setup in the world destroys your account if you size it wrong.
We use actual trade data from our participants. You see how a three percent risk limit performs across fifty trades versus a ten percent risk on the same setups. The difference is dramatic and nobody forgets the lesson.
Our programs cap at eighteen people. This lets us review individual trades, catch sizing mistakes before they become expensive, and adapt content based on what the group actually struggles with. No lecture halls here.
Learning position sizing takes repetition. We keep groups connected through monthly reviews where traders share their sizing decisions and results. The peer feedback often catches things we miss.
Einar traded prop capital for eight years before burning out in 2018. He rebuilt his approach around position sizing and now teaches traders how to survive drawdowns. His background is quantitative finance, but he explains concepts without drowning you in Greek letters.
Lilja keeps our programs running and makes sure nobody falls through the cracks. She traded futures for five years and understands the emotional side of risk management. When traders struggle with discipline, she usually spots it before they blow up.
Most traders obsess over win rate. But you can be right sixty percent of the time and still lose money if your position sizing is off. We've seen it happen repeatedly.
The math is straightforward but not intuitive. Risk two percent per trade and you can handle twenty consecutive losses before losing a third of your capital. Risk ten percent and five losses in a row cuts your account nearly in half.
Our students typically see better consistency within their first thirty trades after adjusting position sizing. Not because they suddenly pick better entries, but because they stop destroying their accounts during normal drawdown periods.
