Everything you will ever trade.Risk, R-Multiples & Prop Firm Rules
Every setup in this academy assumes a fixed risk per trade, usually 0.5% to 1% of the evaluation account, and two losses as a hard daily stop. Know your tick values: NQ $5 per tick (MNQ $0.50), ES $12.50 (MES $1.25), GC $10 (MGC $1). Most challenges fail on trailing drawdown, not on the model.
Why it works
A 55% win rate at 2R makes money. The same win rate with one oversized revenge trade does not.
Timeframes
N/A.
Session
Every session.
The checklist
- 1Fixed risk per trade, decided before the session.

Entry
Size from the stop distance, never from how confident you feel.
Stop
Always placed before the entry is taken.
Target
A minimum of 2R, or you skip the setup.
When you should not take it
