Position Sizing After a Win Streak: Why Confidence Needs a Cap
A win streak can improve confidence while quietly increasing the risk of oversized trades and process drift.
Winning can distort discipline as much as losing. After several good outcomes, the trader may begin to believe the process is more certain than it is.
Position Sizing After a Win Streak: context
The risk is not confidence itself. The risk is increasing size without evidence that the opportunity quality has improved. A larger position should come from better conditions, not recent emotion.
A useful review checks whether the observation changes probability, execution quality or only the trader's attention. If it changes only attention, it is not enough to justify risk.
Position Sizing After a Win Streak: common failure
