System Philosophy
- Capital preservation is more important than profit making.
- No signal is worth breaking a risk rule.
- The journal is more valuable than any indicator.
- If it is not backtested it is gambling.
- Paper trade first. Always.
- A day without a trade is not a lost day.
- The market will be open tomorrow. Your capital must be too.
- Discipline is the only edge that cannot be backtested away.
- Never trade the first 15 minutes. Never trade the last 15 minutes.
- Three losses in a row means stop. Not one more trade.
