## **How to Choose the Right Type**

Percentage:

* Scales automatically with account size
* Useful when balance changes frequently

Account currency:

* Uses a fixed monetary value
* Useful when you want precise control over exposure

Points:

* Measures market movement instead of money
* Useful for strategy-specific or symbol-specific setups
