πŸ›‘οΈ Risk Management & Account Scaling Guide

1. Proportional Sizing (The Scaling Rule)

To maintain the same risk profile as our model, adjust your trade size proportionally:

  • The Goal: Ensure your "Stake per Point" on IG Index reflects your personal comfort level and capital.

  • €5,000 Account: Execute trades at 50% of our alerted size.

  • €20,000 Account: You may choose to Double the alerted size.

2. Trade Management: The "1 in 10" Rule

Based on our historical performance, approximately 90% of our trades follow the projected path. However, market volatility means that roughly 1 in every 10 trades will require active management (adjusting stops, rolling options, or hedging).

  • Action Required: Do not "set and forget" your trades. Follow every alert through to the final exit.

  • The Learning Curve: Observing how we manage these outliers is the most effective way to master professional trade execution.
