Does this tracker connect to my broker?

No. It is a manual, self-reported tracker that exists only in your browser tab for the current session and does not verify your actual trades.

Am I sizing up my trades over time without realizing it?

Q: Am I sizing up my trades over time without realizing it?

Set your planned risk per trade as a baseline, then log the actual risk percentage of each trade as you go. The tracker flags any trade logged at more than 1.25 times your baseline as size creep and shows your running average.

Discipline isn't a personality trait. It's a system you build so willpower is optional.

Set Your Baseline

Set this once at the start of tracking. Logging trades in the tracker on the right resets your running log.

Your Result

Set your planned risk per trade on the left to start logging trades and watch for size creep.

How this is calculated

Size creep here means a trade logged at a meaningfully larger risk percentage than the baseline you set for yourself. Anything above 1.25 times your baseline is flagged.
A single oversized trade is not necessarily a problem. A pattern of them, especially after losses, is one of the more common ways disciplined position sizing breaks down without traders noticing.
This tracker only exists in your browser tab for this session. It does not connect to your broker, does not verify your actual position sizes, and resets if you close or reload the page.
Pair this with the Revenge Trading Risk Check before sizing up beyond your baseline, to see whether emotion is driving the size instead of your plan.
