Ego loves big numbers.
You feel confident, maybe after a win, maybe after being right once.
So you increase size, not because the setup improved, but because you feel good.
The trade stops being about probability.
It becomes about image.
About proving you’re skilled, bold, different.
That’s when risk quietly explodes.
I’ve learned this the hard way.
⤷ The market doesn’t reward confidence.
⤷ It rewards consistency.
⤷ Proper risk size is boring on purpose.
⤷ It keeps emotions flat and decisions clean.
When ego chooses your risk, discipline leaves the room.
Losses feel personal. Wins feel addictive.
Trade size should follow rules, not moods, because survival beats bravado every time.
Ask yourself before clicking buy,
Is this size planned or is my ego speaking?
