Survival is the strategy

Compounding requires staying in the game. Define loss before entry, cap concentration, and never average down by reflex.

§ 1

Size from the stop

Risk per trade divided by distance to stop gives quantity. Conviction does not enter the formula.

§ 2

Correlation hides concentration

Five tech names are one bet. Check exposure by theme, not just by line.

§ 3

Write it down

A trade journal turns outcomes into evidence. Keep a record of your decisions and review account activity in EvercoreFX WebTrader.
