# My rules file

One page. Paste it into the team setup, where the braces say "my rules file". Every seat reads it. Update it on weekends only, never mid-session.

Last updated: {date}

## 1. What I trade
- Instruments: {e.g. MNQ (micro Nasdaq futures). ES chart for context only.}
- Value per point or pip: {e.g. MNQ = 2 per point per contract. Check your contract's specification.}
- Account: {personal / prop evaluation / prop funded}
- Platform: {broker or prop platform the execution agent sends orders to}

## 2. When I trade
- Session window: {e.g. 09:45–11:30 New York time}. No entries outside it.
- Days I don't trade: {e.g. the day of a central bank rate decision, the last trading day of the month, days I slept badly}
