Risk
Risk comes first
The system is built around protecting capital. Everything below describes how it actually behaves — not aspirations.
Risk principles
Capital preservation first
The objective is long-term survival, not maximum profit. A system that compounds slowly and survives drawdowns beats one that maximises a good month and dies in a bad one.
Dynamic position sizing
Size is derived from account balance, current drawdown, market volatility, signal quality, and market conditions. It is never a fixed lot and never scaled up to recover a loss.
No martingale, no revenge trading
Position size is never increased after a loss to win it back. Losing streaks tighten entry conditions rather than loosening them.
Drawdown-driven defence
As drawdown deepens the system reduces exposure in tiers and can stop opening positions entirely. An owner-controlled kill switch blocks all new entries immediately.

Risk factors
Market risk
Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile. Rapid price movements can result in significant losses, up to and including the entire allocated capital.
Execution risk
Orders can encounter slippage, partial fills, or outright failure during high volatility or thin liquidity.
Technical risk
System failures, network outages, exchange API downtime, or defects in trading logic could cause unintended positions or losses.
Model risk
The strategy is derived from historical behaviour. Past results do not guarantee future results, and any strategy can fail under unprecedented conditions.
No financial advice
Nothing on this site is financial, investment, or trading advice, and nothing here is an offer or solicitation. Trading involves substantial risk and you can lose everything you commit to it. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Capital preservation first: dynamic sizing, drawdown-tiered defence, and hard exposure limits.
