Mastering Position Sizing: A Step-By-Step Guide to the Bullet System

Written by Jason Krutzky, Chartered Meme Technician at Spot Trading.

📊 Calibrate Or Get Rekt

With incredible power comes incredible responsibility. If a coin can move 100% in 5 minutes, 10,000% in a week, it can go to zero just as fast, and with no warning.

Whether you’re completely new to trading or a market veteran, you're going to need to calibrate your expectations to play this game.

The rules, pace, and risk tolerance might be quite different than anything you're used to.

🎟️ The Price of Admission

Things move fast here. Just because McDonald's is referencing it in their tweets or SNL did a skit about it, does not mean the meme is going to be relevant forever.

It takes a terminally online, shoot-it-in-my-veins commitment that most simply don't have to catch a 'gud coin' super early. That, or be in the cabal that launched it.

If you’re reading this, I'd venture to guess you're not in the cabal, at least not yet. 

Point is, if you want your share of the outsized gains memecoins offer, you're gonna have to deal with your share of rugs and zeros.

But you can't win if you don't play. You have to shoot shots. You just need a system.

🔫 Mastering Position Sizing with The Bullet System

The Bullet System is simple:

Your wallet is your clip. You can slice it and dice it however you want, but when the clip is empty, you either need to GTFO of the arena or reload. 

Personally, my goal is to stay in the game as long as possible without having to reload, and the Bullet System has served me pretty well so far.

Let’s say you have $10k in your Spot account. $10k splits into $1k ten times. That’s 10 bullets. 

Want more bullets? Take smaller size. Like this:

(100) $100 bullets

(200) $50 bullets 

(500) $25 bullets

The math is straightforward—the discipline to stick with it is what separates survivors from casualties.💡

😤The Harsh Reality

Most of what you buy will go to zero. That's not pessimism, it's just the nature of the game.

But if you stay in the game long enough and master your position sizing, you'll start recognizing patterns. You'll figure out what works and what doesn't.

The Bullet System buys you the time you need to develop those skills. 

The more bullets you have, the more shots you can take. The more shots you take, the more likely you are to be early to a coin that makes it so you don’t have to reload. 🚀

Now go fire some bullets!
