Requisiem breaks down how he sizes positions after growing a portfolio from $500 into multiple figures. He views everything through percentages. When his capital was small, the amounts at risk were tiny because his primary fear was getting wiped out completely. During that first year, he only staked stablecoins and kept all of them in Luna UST. This happened before the FTX collapse. UST dropped from $1 to roughly 18 or 19 cents. At the time, about 75-80% of his portfolio was in that asset. He doubled down by buying more near 16 cents and sold the bounce when it recovered to 65 or 70 cents. That experience created a lasting fear of losing everything on a single position. Since then, he trades very conservatively. He never risks more than 5% of his portfolio on any one thing. He prefers entering early rather than chasing highs. If an asset is already high, he accepts missing out instead of buying in, trusting that other opportunities will appear later. His advice for beginners is to avoid overextending and not to try topping last, since most people are not rich enough to afford that mistake. He focuses on consistent stacking rather than hunting for extreme multiples. The goal is a growth slope that is steady over time rather than too extreme. You can catch this discussion in IN THE TRENCHES EP. 72 with requisiem.
