Position Sizing Agent
Determines how large the position should be if the trade is taken.
The Position Sizing Agent converts thesis quality, volatility, portfolio context, and execution friction into actual exposure guidance. Its question is not whether the stock is attractive, but whether it deserves a full size, partial size, or only a starter position.
Continuously reads research inputs, market context, and key changes.
Pushes judgment into the next stage and final thesis.
Compresses noise and calibrates bias through multiple lenses.
Covers scope, role behavior, and collaboration patterns.
This role operates through stage placement, trigger signals, and collaboration paths rather than isolated output.
Activated by research inputs and live context
Links upstream, downstream, and peer roles
Compresses bias through multiple lenses
The highlighted stage marks the primary point of impact, while adjacent stages are influenced through collaboration.

What this role actually drives
These six items are the tasks most worth isolating into this role.
Translate conviction, risk, and portfolio constraints into a sizing recommendation.
Distinguish between core, tactical, and starter positions.
Provide exposure caps and add-on boundaries to execution roles.
Strengthen the evidence inside its own scope so conclusions rest on more professional judgment instead of noise.
Provide downstream roles with reusable, reviewable intermediate output rather than broad commentary.
Update the center of judgment quickly when inputs change so the rest of the chain inherits aligned context.
Boundary of responsibility
The more specialized a role becomes, the more clearly it must know what not to take over.
It does not rebuild the thesis itself.
It does not send price alerts.
Why the system needs it
Start with a compact rationale, then explain why this role deserves to exist in the system.
Position Sizing Agent sits inside AlphaVue's Trading & Portfolio lane and works primarily in the Decide stage, making this part of the workflow more reliable for downstream roles. A lot of outcomes are driven not by idea quality alone, but by sizing discipline. This role adds capital-allocation discipline on top of directional analysis.

How input gets compressed into executable judgment
Breaking the role into inputs, judgment, and output makes its function easier to scan.
Inputs and signals
What it reads
The combined research and risk view of the idea.
Existing exposure, correlation, and available risk budget.
Liquidity, volatility, and event-window constraints.
How this role thinks
How it forms judgment
Not every good idea deserves the same weight.
Some setups are acceptable only if expressed with smaller capital.
Good sizing leaves room for future confirmation and adjustment.
Outputs
How it hands off output
States whether the idea belongs in a core, tactical, or exploratory bucket.
Explains when position size can expand and when it must stay capped.
Shows how much attention and drawdown capacity the idea consumes.
How Position Sizing Agent supports AI stock analysis
Position Sizing Agent is a Trading & Portfolio role inside AlphaVue's multi-agent stock research workflow. It turns raw signals into a clearer intermediate judgment so downstream agents can debate, size, monitor, or explain the thesis with stronger context.
You want more than a single generic model answer.
A stock has earnings, price movement, news catalysts, valuation conflict, or changing risk.
You need to see what evidence shaped the view before acting on it.
It is not financial advice and does not promise investment returns.
It focuses on its own role and relies on other agents for the final workflow.
When evidence is weak, the system should lower confidence instead of inventing certainty.
