Middle School — Risk First, Always
The heart of the school: deciding how much you can lose before you decide what to trade. Position sizing, risk of ruin, stops, expectancy, leverage, and daily limits.
Why This Grade Matters
Edge only pays out over many trades. Risk discipline is what keeps you in the game long enough for that to happen.
