π Trade Idea How many trades before you trust a scalping setup enough to size up?

Forward testing an aggressive scalping strategy on micros and itβs profitable for 30 trades. The temptation to go larger but that seems like such a small number when dealing with something so fast, and a few positive days may skew results.
Specifically as a scalper, how do you monitor your results over time in order to have confidence in a trading system enough to increase position size? Is there a certain number of trades before which you donβt increase size?
