What Does This Mean?
The gradual escalation of the size and riskiness of trades a person is willing to make, driven by a string of earlier wins that recalibrate their sense of normal risk upward without them consciously deciding to take on more.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Every win made the next bet feel a little more reasonable until the bet that finally wasn't."
LORE & ORIGIN
Named in trading-psychology writing around 2022 to describe how winning streaks specifically — not losing ones — are often the more dangerous driver of eventual blowups, since they inflate risk tolerance gradually and invisibly.
