A structured trading framework for small capital traders, alpha coins, and flexible leverage.
The objective is simple: protect capital first, grow later.
🔴 F-Rule 1: Maximum Account Drawdown
The maximum allowable drawdown for the account is 30%. If this level is reached, all futures trading must be stopped for 14 consecutive days. No recovery trades, no testing, and no exceptions. This rule exists to prevent total account destruction. Without capital, trading is over.
🔴 F-Rule 2: Maximum Daily Loss
Daily loss is strictly limited and adjusted according to leverage. When using leverage of 30x or higher, the maximum daily loss is 3%. With 20x leverage, the limit is 4%, and with 10x or lower, it is capped at 5%. Once the daily loss limit is reached, all positions must be closed and trading must stop for the rest of the day. Higher leverage means fewer mistakes are allowed.
🟠 F-Rule 3: Risk Per Trade
Risk per trade is not fixed and must scale with leverage. At 40x leverage, risk per trade is limited to 3–5% of capital. At 30x, it is 2–3%. At 20x, 1.5–2%. At 10x, 1%, and at 5x or lower, 0.5–1%. Even when risk per trade increases, total daily loss remains controlled by F-Rule 2.
🟠 F-Rule 4: Leverage Usage
High leverage is permitted only for small capital and alpha coin scalping. Leverage between 20x and 40x may be used for short-term trades with tight stop losses. As capital grows, leverage must be reduced gradually. High leverage is never an excuse to ignore risk control.
🟢 F-Rule 5: Position Sizing
Before entering any trade, position size must be calculated using the formula:
Position Size = (Account Capital × Risk %) / (Stop Loss % × Leverage).
Risk percentage is defined in advance, the stop loss must be set before entry, and leverage is used only to optimize capital efficiency. The position size must ensure that if the stop loss is hit, the loss equals exactly the predefined risk. If position size cannot be calculated clearly, the trade is not allowed.
🟢 F-Rule 6: Risk-to-Reward Ratio
Every trade must have a minimum risk-to-reward ratio of 1:2. If the potential reward does not justify the risk, the trade is skipped. Profitability comes from asymmetric outcomes, not from a high win rate.
🟢 F-Rule 7: Daily Take Profit
Daily profit targets range from 5% to 10%. Once the daily target is achieved, all positions must be closed and trading stops for the day. Partial profit may be taken at +5% with stop loss moved to breakeven, and the remaining position may be closed at +10%. Profits are protected, not chased.
🟢 F-Rule 8: Partial Take Profit
Trades must be managed using partial take profits rather than full exits at a single level. This allows profits to run while reducing emotional pressure. Alpha coins move quickly, and structured exits are more important than predicting exact tops or bottoms.
🟡 F-Rule 9: Trade Frequency
The maximum number of trades per day is three to four. When using higher leverage, the number of allowed trades should be reduced further. Overtrading increases errors and emotional fatigue without improving performance.
🟡 F-Rule 10: Discipline Over Emotion
Trading is not allowed when tired, emotional, fearful, or driven by FOMO or revenge. No rule may be broken because a trade “feels certain.” In futures trading, discipline is the real edge. Survival always comes before profit.
🔚 Final Note
High leverage is not a tool for gambling. It is a tool for optimizing small capital under strict risk control. Long-term success does not come from winning big trades, but from staying in the game long enough.
