4-Week Strategy Framework
Week 1Foundation & Risk Assessment
Objective
Establish your trading rhythm and protect capital. Aim for 2-3% profit while learning how your strategy performs under evaluation conditions. Focus on consistency over aggressive gains.
Position Sizing
Start conservative at 2-3% of remaining risk capital per trade, well below the 5% maximum. With 6% total loss limit, you need to preserve capital above all else in week one.
Mindset
Think like you're learning to drive in a new car. The rules allow unlimited time, so use that advantage. Every trade should feel comfortable and controlled. If you're sweating over position size, you're too big.
If Ahead
Excellent start, but don't get cocky. Stick to your 2-3% sizing and resist the urge to press your advantage. Consistency will compound naturally.
If Behind
Stay calm - unlimited time is your friend. Reduce size to 1-2% per trade and focus on quality setups only. Never chase losses with bigger positions.
Week 2Building Momentum
Objective
Increase consistency and target 4-6% total profit. Start building confidence in your edge while respecting the 6% drawdown limit. Establish a sustainable daily routine.
Position Sizing
Gradually increase to 3-4% per trade if week 1 went smoothly. Remember, each loss reduces your risk capital, so 5% of remaining capital means smaller positions as you take losses.
Mindset
You're building a business, not gambling. The consistency rule means your risk per trade should remain steady - this is actually protecting you from emotional decisions. Trust the process.
If Ahead
You're on track for the 10% target. Maintain discipline and don't increase risk just because you're winning. The finish line is getting closer.
If Behind
Don't panic. With unlimited time, you can afford patience. Drop back to 2% per trade and focus on your highest-probability setups. Quality over quantity always wins.
Week 3Steady Progress
Objective
Target 7-9% total profit with consistent risk management. Focus on protecting gains while steadily moving toward the 10% target. Refine your best setups only.
Position Sizing
Stick with 3-4% per trade maximum. As you approach the target, position sizing becomes more critical. Calculate exactly how much risk capital remains and adjust accordingly.
Mindset
You're in the home stretch now. This is where many traders sabotage themselves by getting greedy or careless. Stay mechanical. The consistency rule is your guardrail - use it.
If Ahead
If you're at 8-9%, you can afford to be more selective. Take only A+ setups. You don't need to trade every day - quality trumps quantity at this stage.
If Behind
Don't abandon your plan now. If you're at 4-5%, you still have plenty of time. Stick to 3% risk per trade and focus on your edge. Desperation leads to blown accounts.
Week 4Closing Strong
Objective
Secure the 10% target with minimal additional risk. Focus on capital preservation while taking selective, high-probability trades to cross the finish line.
Position Sizing
If you're close to target, consider reducing to 2% per trade to minimize risk of a large loss. If you need more profit, you can use the full 5% but be extremely selective.
Mindset
You're managing a winning position now. The hardest part is not snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Be patient, be selective, and remember that preserving gains is as important as making them.
If Ahead
If you've hit 10%+, congratulations! Consider stopping or taking only the most obvious trades. You've won - don't give it back through overconfidence.
If Behind
Stay composed. With unlimited time, you can extend beyond 4 weeks if needed. Don't rush or increase risk dramatically. Stick to your process and let probability work in your favor.
