  šŸ’° POSITION SIZING:
      ā€¢ 75-100% of normal size

  šŸŽÆ DIRECTION BIAS:
      ā€¢ Favor BTC long setups on pullbacks
      ā€¢ Let winners run a bit longer when momentum confirms

  ā° SESSION TIMING:
      ā€¢ 18:00 EDT-20:00 EDT: CME reopen and Asia handoff can reset tone
      ā€¢ 2:00 EDT-5:00 EDT: Europe often extends or reverses overnight momentum
      ā€¢ 8:30 EDT-10:00 EDT: US macro releases and ETF flows matter most
      ā€¢ Weekend moves can detach from ETF and equity confirmation
