Give and take of choosing your optimal bet size
Position size is more than a number: it can expose fear, greed, FOMO, and unrealistic expectations. This discussion explores how goals, leverage, drawdown tolerance, protective stops, and scaling into trades shape a strategy. It also examines why funded-account rules can punish flexibility and how crisis-tested backtesting helps traders protect capital while pursuing growth.

Managing risk in your best timeframe
Trading expectations must fit the timeframe. This discussion explores risk-reward, scaling into positions, protective stops, and sizing for noisy lower-timeframe markets. It also examines the tension between mathematical and emotional expectations, the risks behind outsized gains, and the discipline required to accept break-even trades, let go of accuracy, and build winners gradually.

Falling in love with high conviction Trades
Why can “high conviction” be a trader’s biggest warning sign? This discussion explores emotional attachment, objective trailing stops, expected value, and judging performance through the equity curve. It also examines the wider perspective required for position trading, accepting drawdowns and volatility, and letting go of the need to be right while pursuing asymmetric gains.
