Sizing up 101 - from my own experience
I never start off by oversizing. If you’re wrong and your risk management is poor, you’ll likely take a significant loss, and beyond that, the psychological impact can also disrupt your decision-making - eg fear of losing and you cut the position too early, or you bottle the next trade.
It’s fine to start with a reasonable size, but from my own experience, scaling into a winning position is what truly allows you to build larger trade size effectively.
This approach lets me compound into strength while keeping the initial risk relatively static, the open profit acts as a buffer that gives you more flexibility to manage the trade.
The key is understanding the context you're in - key inflection points that develop into a swing trade.
I've done this across two accounts...
Special shoutout to SZ, one of the best when it comes to sizing up big time - picked this up from him over the years.

680 pretty much held the line...
Traded the poor highs from sunday and rejected, at present Im leaning toward price trading yesterdays value area low should we get below the daily open.
Its also confluent with the current 0.5 of this range, avg short entry is 660s and I have taken off 1/4 here at 625s
Structure still holding ok in terms of higher lows for this rotation, but I suspect that changes should we trade below the 0.5 (615s aka daily open) - but lets see.
Its been a brilliant market to trade on both sides tbh
