The Danger of Increasing Size After a Loss

Increasing your position size to recover a loss changes the risk of your next trade.

Imagine your normal NQ position risks $100.

After losing that amount, you decide to risk $200 on the next trade so you can recover faster.

The second trade is now carrying twice the planned risk, even if the setup quality hasn't improved.

If it loses, the damage grows quickly.

Position sizing should be determined by your predefined risk framework, not by how much money you want to recover.

A larger position doesn't improve a weak setup.

It only increases the financial impact of the outcome.

Consistency begins with accepting that losses are part of the process and refusing to let them dictate the next trade's size.
