Constitution

The rules you agreed to when you were calm

Written by the version of you that wasn't in a losing trade.

Articles
  1. 01I trade my strategy or I do not trade at all.
  2. 02Risk never exceeds 1% of equity on a single idea.
  3. 03The stop loss is set once and never widened.
  4. 04Three trades maximum per day, win or lose.
  5. 05No trading while angry, rushed, or trying to get even.
  6. 06Every trade is journaled the same day it closes.
  7. 07A good loss is a success. A lucky win is a warning.
Why this exists

Your constitution appears on the qualification screen before every trade. It is the last thing you read before risking money.

Rules that are enforced automatically — risk per trade, daily loss limits, trade caps and the psychology gate — live in the risk engine and setup screens.

Keep this list short. Seven articles you obey beat twenty you admire.
