dawg, not that you need any advice, but you may want to wait for a drawdown period to increase your size. In my experience, when I have been on a winning streak and then increased my size, that is exactly when I start having a drawdown. I think it is typical to want to increase size when you are doing well. Look at your last drawdown period. Would it not have been best to increase your size right after that happened rather than right before it happened? Just something to think about. Anyway, I am enjoying your journal. Keep up the good trading.
