Critical Trading Rules

1

6% Daily Target

Minimum +6% on options capital daily. Once achieved, consider reducing size or stopping.

2

0DTE/1DTE Only

No weekly or monthly options. Maximum theta efficiency with short-dated contracts.

3

Fixed Futures Size

ES: 2 contracts. NQ: 2 contracts. RTY: 4 contracts. No exceptions.

4

Trade With Trend

Only enter in direction of 15m/1h trend. Never counter-trend.

5

Avoid Lunch Hour

No new positions 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM ET. Low volume kills edge.

6

3-Loss Maximum

Stop trading for the day after 3 consecutive losses. No exceptions.

7

Close 0DTE by 3:45

All same-day expiration options closed by 3:45 PM ET absolute latest.

8

Honor Stops

When stop is hit, exit immediately. No hoping, averaging, or adjusting.

Capital Protection

Risk Management

Strict risk controls to protect capital and maintain consistent profitability.

⚠️

Non-Negotiable

85% win rate means nothing without proper risk management. These rules are absolute. One blown risk rule can erase weeks of profits. Discipline is the edge.

After 2 consecutive losses, mandatory 30-minute break before next trade.

🛑

3-Loss Stop

After 3 losses, done for the day. No exceptions. Tomorrow is another day.

📉

Weekly -15%

If down 15% for the week, reduce all position sizes by 50% next week.

🔒

Profit Lock

After hitting 6%+, set trailing stop on day. Don't give back a winning day.
