Scaling into commodity positions vs. lump sum?
I'm still pretty green in commodities and trying to figure out best practices for position entry. For something like WTI crude ($CL_F) or gold ($GC_F), with their intraday volatility, do most of you seasoned traders prefer to scale into positions? Or is it more common to just take a single entry based on your analysis? I've been experimenting with scaling, but sometimes it feels like I'm just chasing the price instead of committing to a level. Curious how others manage this, especially with larger contract sizes.

That's a great question, I've been wondering the same thing. I've tried scaling, but then I always second-guess if my initial entry was even good enough to justify adding more.
