3. Risk Is Fixed, Not Flexible

Your risk per trade must be a pre-set constant, never altered based on emotions, past wins, or losses. Whether you’re up or down, risk remains identical—calculated, controlled, and committed. Fixed risk ensures survival during drawdowns and allows compounding during upswings. You do not increase size after a win, nor do you “chase recovery” after a loss. This rule prevents emotional sabotage. Every trade carries the same weight and the same potential. Small, consistent risk is more powerful than random size spikes. Over time, this protects capital, improves focus, and enforces trust in your system. Flexibility in risk equals structural failure.
