Scaling Risk Responsibly

Increase size only when your process and stats justify it.

Scaling risk means increasing position size as your skill, consistency, and account justify it. It should be earned through data, not triggered by excitement after a few good trades.

Before scaling, confirm that you have a meaningful sample size, positive expectancy, controlled drawdowns, and consistent rule-following. If your results depend on one oversized winner or you frequently break rules, adding size will magnify the problem.

A responsible scaling plan increases risk gradually and includes a step-down rule. If drawdown exceeds a limit or execution quality drops, reduce size immediately. The goal is to grow without changing the behavior that created the edge.
