Confidence is not a position size. Distance to your stop is.
Think of it like packing a parachute based on the jump height, not on how excited you are to jump. A ten-story jump and a hundred-story jump need completely different setups — your enthusiasm doesn't change the math. Same with trades: the further your invalidation point sits from entry, the smaller your size needs to be to keep risk constant. Decide what percentage of your account you're willing to lose first, then let that number and your stop distance dictate size. Conviction decides whether you take the trade. Risk decides how big.
Next time you size up, write down your stop distance before you think about how good the setup feels.
What's your account risk per trade, and does your sizing actually match it?
