Hey people,

Do you have criteria you use to figure out the right time to scale up your trading positions and sizes?

  Make sure if you do scale up you’re still not risking more than your total pot on one trade, e.g. lots of people use 1%.
  
  It’s equally important to make sure you have a plan to scale back…

    What criteria would you use to scale back position sizes then?

  Yes, I make sure I have at least 6 weeks of consecutive profitability with a win rate above 65%. Also, if my drawdown hasn’t exceeded 10% of my trading capital for an extended period I think about scaling up position sizes.
