Core Principles
Demo-first learning
Use demo to test entries, exits, and timing. Only move to small real stakes after 4+ weeks of consistent journaling.
Fixed risk limit
Cap risk at 2–5% per trade. Daily loss limit = 5–10% of the account. Stop trading when a limit hits.
No revenge trading
After a loss streak (e.g., 3 losses), stop and take a cool-off (walk, water, stretch). Resume next day.
Position Sizing — Simple Formula
| Formula | Stake = Account Balance × Risk % |
| Example | If balance = $300 and risk = 3%, stake = $9. If payout is 90% and you lose, loss = $9. Respect your daily loss limit. |
| Tip | Decrease risk % when on a drawdown; increase only after new equity highs (and never above 5%). |
