$NEAR : When Wins Lead to Bigger Risks
$NEAR : NEAR shows an hourly direction up while volume is not above baseline, with relative volume 0.67x the baseline. The price movement appears encouraging, but the situation invites the bias of over‑sizing after a series of wins.
**Observation**
The market currently records an inside range and a modest upward tick. RSI 34.0 sits near the middle of its scale, offering no extreme signal. These facts alone do not prove that larger position sizes are justified.
**Bias Explanation**
When traders experience consecutive gains, the anchoring effect can make the recent profit level feel like a new normal. Attention narrows on the winning streak, and regret for missing the next move may push them to increase exposure beyond the original risk rule. This over‑sizing amplifies potential loss if the next candle reverses.
**Counterexample**
A trader who sticks to a fixed percentage risk per trade, regardless of recent outcomes, would keep position size unchanged even after three up hours. The outcome could be a smaller drawdown when the market turns down.
**Self‑Check**
Before adding size, ask: "Is my risk per trade still within my predefined limit, or am I expanding because the recent wins feel comfortable?" If the answer leans toward comfort, reduce the position back to the original rule.
**Reassessment Trigger**
If the next hourly candle closes down and relative volume rises above baseline, treat that as evidence that the previous confidence may have been misplaced and re‑evaluate the sizing rule.
