Wick

Streak psychology

Risk & Psychology

Hot hands and cold spirals

Win streaks breed oversizing right before regression; losing streaks breed fear right before your edge returns. Fixed rules flatten both distortions: same risk, same process.

Check yourself

After 8 straight wins, the biggest danger is…

  1. The market changing
  2. You changing, oversizing on borrowed confidence correct
  3. Nothing

The edge didn't grow with your streak, but your size did. Regression collects the difference.
