Trade1,000 shares if you are 80 percent confident that the trade will work.Trade 800 shares if you are 70 percent confident that the trade will work.Trade 500 shares if you are only 60 percent confident that the trade willwork. Sometimes you will see a trading opportunity that looks good, but youaren't completely sure about the outcome. You are confident enough to risksome capital on the trade, but not confident enough to bet the farm. Don't.Use your money management skills to help determine the right size for thetrade.
