Risk Control: Survival is the top priority!
Position Management: Increase position (when profitable): 1 → 0.6 → 0.3 (avoid full position at once), decrease position (when losing): after each loss, reduce the relevant position by half.
Leverage Limit: Single trade leverage usage should not exceed 20% of the account net value.
Stop Loss Rule: Single trade loss should not exceed 2% of total capital.
If daily loss reaches 5%, immediately stop all trading for the day.
If weekly loss reaches 10%, mandatory rest and comprehensive review.
Trading Discipline: Rules above Impulse
Three necessary conditions for entry: Fundamental, Technical, and Sentiment “Triple Resonance.”
Clear breakthrough of key support/resistance levels.
Significant increase in volatility (e.g., ATR > 2 times the average).
Mandatory rest period: clear positions and observe 1 hour before major events (e.g., Federal Reserve decisions).
If experiencing 3 consecutive losing trades, do not open new positions for the day.
During non-main trading hours (e.g., US market closed), reduce position size by half.
Psychological Management: Protecting profits is the key to winning
Profit Protection: If a single trade/strategy profit exceeds 20%, immediately withdraw 10% of profit to lock in.
After the account net value hits a historical high, proactively lower the leverage limit by 10%.
Set “Dynamic Take Profit”: automatically close positions when profit retraces by 30% from the peak.
Loss Response: After consecutive losses → mandatory stop trading for 24 hours.
Detailed review → record trading process, emotional fluctuations, and root causes of mistakes.
Simulated trading verification → must have continuous profit in simulated trading for 2 weeks before returning to real trading.
Strategy Evolution: Diversify risks and respond flexibly
Multi-strategy combination allocation: Trend-following strategy (50%), Arbitrage strategy (30%), Hedging strategy (20%)
Evaluate each strategy's performance quarterly and dynamically adjust fund allocation.
Extreme market contingency plan: Market panic index VIX > 30 → immediately activate hedging strategy.
Encounter “Black Swan” events → quickly execute reverse hedging.
Market liquidity sharply declines → forcibly reduce total position to below 10%.
