🏦 Institutional R:R: How MENA Pros Size Positions (Apr 20)
Retail focuses on win rate. Institutions focus on R:R position sizing.
✅ Professional framework:
1. Risk-First Approach:
• Define max loss BEFORE entry (not after)
• Institutional standard: 0.5-2% per trade
• Portfolio-level risk: Max 10% total exposure
2. Dynamic Position Sizing:
• Higher conviction = larger position (within limits)
• Lower conviction = smaller position or skip
• Never force a trade that doesn't meet R:R criteria
3. Scaling In/Out:
• Enter 50% at signal, 50% on confirmation
• Exit 50% at TP1, trail rest for TP2
• Locks in profits while letting winners run
📊 Current professional watch:
• ETH $2,200: R:R 1:2.5 if entry $2,200, stop $2,150, TP $2,325
• BTC $71K: R:R 1:3 if entry $71K, stop $69K, TP $77K
