Risk management

Risk before reward: building a repeatable trading routine

6 min read

A funded evaluation rewards consistency more than one oversized result. A simple routine makes the rules visible before emotion enters the decision.

  • Set the maximum amount you will risk before opening the terminal.
  • Check your daily loss and total drawdown buffers before every session.
  • Stop when your written daily limit is reached—even when the next setup looks attractive.
Challenge guide

Your pre-trade challenge rules checklist

4 min read

Your plan defines the boundaries. Review them at the start of a session so trade decisions stay separate from account-limit decisions.

  • Confirm the active challenge and its current balance.
  • Review maximum trade amount, open-trade limit, and minimum trading days.
  • Use the same checklist after switching between two challenge accounts.

What to record in a useful trading journal

5 min read

A journal is most useful when it captures the decision, not only the outcome. Keep the structure short enough that you will use it consistently.

  • Record the setup, direction, size, duration, and reason for entry.
  • Note whether the trade followed the plan before looking at profit or loss.
  • Review repeated mistakes and strong decisions at the end of each week.

Risk Warning
