Practice-trade before you risk a cent

The gap between a proven edge and a surviving account is entirely risk. Paper-trade it, cap the loss, and watch it die or live without using real money.

In this lesson

  1. Proven is not deployed
  2. How much to risk per trade
  3. Spotting when an edge stops working
  4. What Foundations was for
Practice

Paper-trade the edge you just read

Take the validated edge into a dry run on your server. Cap the notional. Leave it long enough to be bored. Boredom is the point — live trading will not be more exciting in a way you want.
