Why is @Backpack is so conservative? Folks want bigger position sizes, larger position limits, more borrows, and higher leverage.

I do too. We'll get there--but with zero tolerance for taking unnecessary risk. If there's one thing I want to be known for, it's for being boring, slow, and safe.

One only needs to look at one of the many examples of irresponsible risk management to understand why. Risk doesn't matter until it's too late. You don't earn brownie points for being boring, but you do earn points for staying alive.

In this business, only the paranoid survive.
