Position Size Reduction During Drawdowns
Posted: Tue Dec 13, 2022 4:55 pm
Hi Traders,
I have a question to you: Did you ever came across the system/theory reducing a position size according to the size of the drawdown?
Let me try to illustrate what I mean.
Let's assume that I created a profitable strategy with the max drawdown 15%.
Although I am able to handle this kind of drawdown, I still want to have a bit of the break when trades will not go into my favor by reducing my position:
Potentially it could look like:
Max backtested Drawdown 15%
Let me know what do you think about it or if this is widely known model and I only failed to find it on the internet
Happy to also get any resources to study about the topic
thanks upfront!
have a good trading!

Potentially it could look like:
Max backtested Drawdown 15%
- Drawdown up to 5% = risking 1% of my account
- Drawdown 5% - 10% = risking 0.5% of my account
- Drawdown 10% - 15% = risking 0.25% of my account
- Drawdown > 15% = strategy stop
