Kosta Ouzas explains that a common trading mistake is poor position sizing driven by short-term pressure. He argues for engineering position sizing in advance — pre-allocating capital to deploy more money as prices decline — and illustrates with a staged allocation analogy (small percentages early, larger percentages at deeper discounts, e.g., '2% in February... 50% by Black Friday') to reduce emotional pressure and capture better value.

People get short sighted, I guess. I think that's one of the most. I think that's one of the reasons why what we have is so important because it really does take away your need to. Yeah, the pressure. Because like, I think one of the biggest problems with trading is position sizing and it's where a lot of people get caught. Because what having a system like ours allow you to do it allows you to engineer the position sizing from the outset. So you're deploying the capital as the price des ends and you're doing it strategically and it's all pre done. So, so you're setting money aside for when, when, when there is a bargain, right. It's like saying, it's like being in January and saying, okay, come Black Friday, that's when I'm going to spend my most money, right? But I'm going to spend 2% in February, let's spend 4% in March. I'm gonna spend 10. By the time, by the time November comes for Black Friday, I'm gonna spend 50 of my money, 40 of my money. Because that's, that's why I know the best buys. I'm gonna get the most value.
