>>No position can break the PF If they get too big I trim back..

This is a question I've been wrestling with, unfortunately only in theory . But it seems to me that it's not position size that determines the risk but rather the "bet" size, the bet being the amount of money you would lose from your last purchase IF the stop-loss is triggered. It seems to me that the position size might be allowed to get quite large as in "let your profits run", provided you keep "bet" size small, by judicious control of stop-losses.

Theory, theory, Does it work this way ?
