5. Bankroll Management & Understanding Variance
What is Variance?
- Variance is when you trade with a positive expected value (EV)—let’s say your net ROI per trade is 5% after fees—but somehow, you still lose your entire bankroll. How does that happen? Simple: your bankroll is poorly managed, and after just five losing trades in a row, you’re wiped out.
How to Avoid This?
- It’s easy, just manage your damn bankroll properly.
Ideally, you should have enough funds to cover at least 100 entries.
For example, if your average trade size is 1 SOL, then your bankroll should be around 100 SOL.
This way, if you’re making profitable trades, you’ll always come out ahead over the long run.
At the very least, 50 entries is a must.
Also, make sure your entries aren’t too small, or transaction fees will eat up a big chunk of your ROI. 1 reply
