# My risk rules sheet

The Risk Manager reads only this sheet and your account state. Every rule is a number or a yes/no. Numbers below are **examples**. Set your own.

Last updated: {date}. Changes are made on weekends only.

## Part A — rules the Risk Manager checks

| # | Rule | My number (example values) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Maximum risk per trade | {example: 0.5% of account, or a fixed amount}. This is 1R. |
| 2 | Daily stop (loss) | {example: 2R}. When reached, the team is CLOSED for the day. |
| 3 | Maximum trades per day | {example: 3} |
| 4 | Stop after losses in a row | {example: 2 losing trades in a row closes the team for the day} |
| 5 | Maximum size | {example: 5 micro contracts / 0.5 lots} |
| 6 | Session window | {example: 09:45–11:30 New York time} |
| 7 | News blackout | {example: no entries from 10 minutes before to 10 minutes after any high-impact event on my event sheet; no new trades on rate-decision days}. No event sheet pasted = FAIL. |
| 8 | Bracket rule | Every order has a stop and a target attached at entry. No stop, no trade. |
| 9 | State rule | {example: tilt check — 1 YES = AMBER, risk per trade halved for the session; 2 or more YES, or question 6 alone = TEAM OFF for the session} |
| 10 | Open position rule | {example: one position at a time} |
| 11 | Extra rule (optional, example) | {example: trade cards are written before the session only} |
| 12 | Minimum score to trade | {example: Decider score 4 or 5 = TAKE IF TRIGGERED; 3 or below = PASS}. The memo's verdict line follows this rule. |

## Part B — hard limits set in my platform (first line)

The AI is the second line. These settings live in the trading platform or with the broker, where a prompt can't argue with them. Check what your platform offers; names differ.

| Limit | Set in platform? | Value | Date checked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily loss limit / auto-flatten | {yes / no / not offered} | {value} | {date} |
| Maximum position size | {yes / no / not offered} | {value} | {date} |
| Default bracket (stop + target) on every order | {yes / no} | {template name} | {date} |
| Trading hours lock (if offered) | {yes / no / not offered} | {hours} | {date} |

If a limit in Part A can be set in your platform, set it there too. If the platform setting and this sheet disagree, the stricter one wins.

## Part C — what never changes
- Orders are placed automatically by the execution agent, only inside these risk rules.
- A BLOCK is not lifted in the same session.
- This sheet is changed on weekends, after the weekly review, never during a session.
