Short transcript excerpt from a YouTube interview (Kardec Trader) in which Umar Ashraf explains that his ability to scale up risk tolerance developed gradually over 9–10 years of trading. He attributes the increase to time, accumulating success/money, and growing comfort with larger position sizes; he emphasizes it took years rather than happening overnight.
How were you able to scale up your risk tolerance so much quicker than most other traders? I don't know what so much quicker is. I mean, I've been trading once again for nine, 10 years, right? So as my trading has progressed, right, as I've gotten more comfortable, as I've made more money, my risk tolerance in position, sizing has slowly increased with that. So it was a combination of time, combination of me achieving success and making money, and a combination of me being comfortable in, you know, as I got more and more success, me increasing that tolerance risk. But it did take years. It wasn't, it's not an overnight thing or it's not a monthly thing.
