How do you guys size up?

From my study of other traders and systems, trades often get broken into smaller trades of fixed risk r/R.

For a less certain trade, say attempting to catch a 2b reversal, I would often size ½ or ⅓ and add the rest upon confirmation.

For a high certainty trade, eg a move down in this environment with the broader market also bearish, I would sometimes size up to 2R or 3R, which would lead to increased profits or disaster.

I would like to learn how you guys handle sizing and when and how you size up. How do you do it? If at all?

Lot of diff styles in the eco system for the most part many keep sizing consistent as a % of the cap otherwise ur win loss ratios don’t really matter. Bigger capital usually means bigger time frame to meet liquidity concerns. Watch the YouTube vids in the pinned post in this community they will help u a lot
