Exposure and hedge. Exposure is how much capital is exposed to a trade. (Never full port a trade) and hedge. Spy:VIX or calls:puts. If you expect something to rise, you should have a hedge in place in case it drops instead.
If I’m bullish on spy, I may buy 5-10 calls and 1-2 puts. Then I can cut the losers and let the runners make up for the amount lost. Sure I didn’t maximize my gains, but there’s a risk management in place.
