스케일링 인·아웃 전략 어떻게 하시나요? 📈

I scale into all positions day or swing trading. I add to winners aggressively. But I never scale out. I’m either in the trade, or I exit all.

I rarely scale into positions. I always scale out because it improves the safety of the trade and makes it less stressful. I do it in all timeframes.

Scaling in/out can help psychologically, but it’s really only useful if it’s part of a defined structure.

A lot of people end up using it reactively, taking partials when they feel good or adding when something “looks right,” which just adds another layer of discretion.

When it works, it’s usually because it’s predefined, i.e. the math has been done that says yes, scaling makes more sense here than utilizing a single full position. Where size gets added, where it gets reduced, and what the trade is expected to do overall should all be mapped out prior to the trade taking place. Otherwise, it can improve win rate short term, but make outcomes less consistent over time.

Is all variables. The response is always “it depends” on the price/volume action.
