Risk management
The money you protect is the money that compounds.
Here is the math we stand behind — not a nice-sounding tagline.
Why exactly 2%?
A 2% portfolio-wide ceiling protects your capital. Even in a losing streak the drawdown stays capped at 2% of the portfolio per cycle — quick to recover.

Four rules that never bend
01
2% cap on the whole portfolio
The ceiling is on your portfolio, not on a single trade. Any decision that breaks it is blocked.
02
Risk distributed, not stacked
Total risk across all open positions at any moment stays within the 2% portfolio budget.
03
24h pause after 3 consecutive losses
Reassess, then resume.
04
No trading during red news
Stops 30 min before any high-impact economic release.
