Define sizing and kill rules for one edge

Open Edge Lab and pick an edge that has reached PROVEN (or a strong VALIDATED edge you are considering promoting). Write explicit rules for: (1) how you will size each position, (2) maximum portfolio heat / drawdown you will accept, and (3) the live kill criteria. Optionally review any other running bots for correlation. Come back with the rules written down.
