Question about scaling positions on reversals vs. breakouts

Hey everyone,

I've been trying to refine my risk management lately, and something's been bugging me about position sizing, specifically when comparing reversal trades versus breakout trades. With reversals, where I'm often trying to catch a turning point, my initial entries are usually smaller, and I might scale in if the setup confirms and the price moves in my favor. The idea is to have less on the line if the initial turn doesn't hold.

However, with breakouts, especially on higher timeframes, I tend to go in with a larger initial size because the confirmation is often built into the breakout itself. My rationale is that if it's a true breakout, it should move fairly quickly, and scaling in later might mean chasing or getting a worse average price.

Does this approach make sense to others, or am I overthinking the distinction? How do you guys generally adjust your initial position sizes or scaling strategies for different trade types like these? Any insights would be great.
