Capital at Risk
// RISK GUIDELINES
The 1% Rule
Never risk more than 1% of your account on a single trade. At 1% risk, you can absorb 10 consecutive losses and still retain 90% of your capital. This is the foundation of professional risk management.
Stop Loss is Non-Negotiable
Every position must have a predetermined stop loss before entry. Moving your stop further away to avoid being stopped out is the fastest way to blow up an account. Define risk before the trade, then respect it.
Conviction Scales Size, Not Risk
Higher conviction means you can size up within your risk budget, not that you should risk more of your account. The 11-factor scoring system maps conviction to leverage bands so you scale position size proportionally, keeping dollar risk constant.
