How large were your positions when you were building your account at the beginning?

I traded relatively the same size. I never sized crazily, perhaps only a little larger—around 30% sizing—when the account was smaller. Logically, using larger sizing and fewer positions doesn't improve performance; it only increases variance. You have a higher chance of doubling the account, but also a higher chance of losing everything, so I don't recommend it. There is not much difference between trading a small and large account. Imagine managing a $100 million portfolio and use the same habits with a small account. Building those habits early makes fewer mistakes easier when the account becomes larger.
