These rules exist to protect capital, discipline, and longevity.

They are not suggestions.
They are not flexible based on mood or market conditions.

Break them long enough — and the market will remove you.

 

---

1. Protect capital before chasing profits

If you can’t survive, nothing else matters.

 

---

2. Risk must fit your psychology, not your ego

If your heart rate spikes, your size is wrong.

 

---

3. One good trade is enough

Overtrading is how good days turn bad.

 

---

4. No setup, no trade

Boredom is not a signal.

 

---

5. Losses are information, not failure

How you lose matters more than how you win.

 

---

6. Never add to a losing position

Hope is not a strategy.

 

---

7. Stop trading when discipline breaks

The market will still be here tomorrow.

 

---

8. Your job is execution, not prediction

React to what is — not what you want.

 

---

9. Risk is decided before the entry

If you don’t know where you’re wrong, don’t trade.

 

---

10. Fewer trades. Better trades.

Frequency is not productivity.

 

---

11. Size follows consistency — not the other way around

Earn the right to scale.

 

---

12. Flat is a position

Cash is discipline.

 

---

13. Never trade to make back losses

That’s how accounts disappear.

 

---

14. Review every loss. Respect every win.

Both are teachers.

 

---

15. Discipline is the edge

Strategies change. Behavior doesn’t.

Why These Rules Matter

Most traders don’t fail because they lack information.
They fail because they break rules under pressure.These rules exist to remove emotion, protect capital, and keep traders in the game long enough for skill to matter.

Mastery is not about breaking rules creatively.
It’s about following simple rules consistently.
