Not entries. Not outcomes. Risk.

Risk is the Only Thing You Control

Markets are unpredictable. Losses happen. Survival and disciplined risk management separate success from failure.

Core Risk Management Principles


Every trade has a predefined exit

Risk must be defined before entering.

Losses are controlled and limited

Small losses preserve the ability to trade.

Stops are mandatory and non-negotiable

Protect capital. Remove emotion.

Position size matches risk, not confidence

Size is determined by tolerance and stop distance

Reduce exposure when performance declines

Discipline guides sizing.

Increase exposure only when performance is strong

Consistency earns more risk.

Never add to losing trades

Exposure is managed across trades, not within them.

No single trade should threaten capital

Survival matters more than being right once.

Longevity is the true edge

Staying in the game creates opportunity.

Consistency comes before growth

Compounding follows disciplined risk management.

Drawdowns are capped and reduced over time

Losses begin at a higher level and are gradually lowered, ensuring that even under consecutive losing periods, total annual drawdown never exceeds 12%.

Review and adapt consistently

Regularly analyze performance, learn from mistakes, and adjust risk management practices to improve discipline and long-term results.

It’s about controlling losses, surviving,
and letting winners work.


Risk management is the foundation.
Everything else builds on it.
