Position Sizing in Futures & Options - Part 1 | The Long & The Short Ep.19

Welcome to The Long & The Short – a show where you can expect an honest take on trading, something you won’t hear elsewhere. I’m your host, Sandeep Rao (SEBI Registered Research Analyst – INH000013059). In this episode, we begin a brand-new series on what many professionals consider the single most important pillar of trading: Position Sizing. You can survive with an imperfect strategy.

That is where the real work begins. 📌 Chapters: 00:00 Intro: Why Position Sizing Matters 01:06 What Is Position Sizing? 03:20 Risk of Ruin Explained 04:53 Lot Size & Notional Value Explained 06:24 Margin: SPAN, Exposure & How It Works 08:48 Leverage in Futures & Its Impact 11:16 Futures vs Options: Key Differences 14:14 Cash Rules, Pledging & Capital Efficiency 17:53 NIFTY Backtest Question 18:29 Conclusion & What’s Next (Part 2) 🔗 Resources & Links: 1.
