I trade short-term orderflow setups, and my biggest issue is sizing fast enough without breaking focus.
I want to risk the same dollar amount on every trade, but my stop distance changes every setup. So right before entry, I’m still thinking: what size do I need here, am I risking too much, too little, did I calculate it correctly?
In fast scalps, that mental step genuinely messes with my execution. I either hesitate, size imperfectly, or lose focus on the tape.
How do you guys handle this in practice?
