Fair enough, in this case the answer [would seem to be] diversification, leading to small position sizes. From reading some of your posts, it would seem that you have moved in the opposite direction, viz more concentrated [day] trading futures.

Also given that a stock halt was posited in the day trading milieu, how small a position would you day trade?

When I day traded, I would trade 1 position at a time, and they were definitely larger than if I was running a longer term portfolio of stocks. If a stock got caught in a halt, moves against my position definitely hurt and I definitely got caught a few times.
