Fixed-fractional position sizing

Part of the theme Risk and position sizing.

Definition

Fixed-fractional position sizing means always risking the same percentage of current equity on each trade.

Because the percentage is applied to current equity, you automatically trade smaller after losses and larger after gains, which cushions drawdowns and compounds wins. Recompute the size for every trade rather than reusing an old quantity.
