When your portfolio holds multiple positions, correlation risk can quietly eat away at your returns. Assets that move together can amplify losses during a market shift.
For traders in commodities, this risk can feel invisible until it's too late. (1/6)
Dynamic position sizing makes this manageable. It means adjusting your exposure to each asset based on its individual volatility, rather than trading a fixed amount every time.
Here’s how it works in practice.
First, measure the volatility of the asset you're trading. A simple way is to use the Average True Range (ATR) on the 4-hour chart. (2/6)
Next, use that volatility reading to determine your position size. The higher the volatility, the smaller your position size should be. The lower the volatility, the larger your position size can be.
This automatically balances your portfolio. High-volatility assets get smaller positions, so they have less of an impact if they all move together. Low-volatility assets get larger positions, but they're also less likely to all crash at once. (3/6)
This way, you're not overexposed to any single asset, and you're automatically managing correlation risk.
To start, list all the positions you hold or plan to enter. Note their asset classes.
For each position, find its average true range and convert that to a percentage of the asset's price. That's your volatility measure.
Set a risk limit per asset class. For example, you might decide that no more than 15% of your total portfolio should be exposed to commodities as a whole. (4/6)
For each new trade, size it so that the position's risk is inverse to its volatility. High volatility means a smaller size. Low volatility means a larger size.
Review this weekly. If market conditions change and volatilities shift, recalculate your position sizes.
This systematic approach keeps any single position from dominating your portfolio and automatically balances your exposure. (5/6)
Remember to set hard limits, like a maximum of 2% per trade and a maximum of 15% per asset class. Never override those limits.
Dynamic position sizing lets the market tell you how much to trade.
