Optimal position sizing with conflicting signals
Guys, honest question: when you've got a solid technical setup on, say, $MSFT, but the broader market sentiment is decidedly bearish, how do you handle your position sizing? Do you scale back aggressively, or does your initial analysis on the individual stock still dictate the majority of your risk? I'm finding it tough to balance that macro overlay with micro conviction without just sitting on the sidelines.

Ah, the classic "my crystal ball says buy, but the news says sell" dilemma. I usually just assume the market knows something I don't and trim, because my ego can handle a smaller gain more than a larger loss. It's not optimal, but it keeps me sleeping at night.
