How this is calculated
Winning streaks feel like proof you have it figured out, which is exactly when oversized bets tend to slip in. A cooldown period is a deliberate pause before making a sizing decision while emotion is running high, not a random delay.
The recommended cooldown grows with the length of your streak and gets an extra bump if your last win was unusually large relative to your average winner, since outsized wins are the ones most likely to trigger a sizing mistake.
Waiting out the timer does not automatically mean you should increase size afterward. It means you are making that decision from a calmer state instead of directly after the win.
Pair this with the Position Size Creep Tracker to see whether your actual position sizes have been drifting upward without a deliberate decision behind it.
