Roadmap · Risk first

From +30,000% on demo
to a live account.

The demo report shows good directional calls but uncontrolled risk (46.96% drawdown, 90-lot trades). This plan turns that result into a system that can be verified and repeated.

Numbers that are not negotiable.

They apply to every phase and every account, demo included. Break one rule = stop trading for the day.

≤ 1%Max risk per trademeasured at the stop loss
≤ 3%Max daily losshit it, switch off
≤ 10%Max drawdownvs 46.96% today
≤ 3Open positions at oncetotal risk ≤ 3%
Example: $1,000 capital, 1% risk = $10. Gold (XAUUSD) with a $3 stop ⇒ 0.03 lots. In the report, the 90-lot gold trade (Sep 23) meant every $1 move = $9,000; earlier (Sep 16) the 90-lot USOIL trades were opened when the account held just $1,682.

Audit the report & write the system

Analyse the 668 phase-1 scalping trades on their own: which hours win, which symbols lose (EURUSD is at −$20), which trades broke the stop.

  • Write entry / exit rules on a single A4 page
  • Drop EURUSD or rework the setup (41/96 winners)
  • No stock CFDs until they have their own rules

Disciplined demo — rerun with $1,000

Open a new demo account with the same starting capital. The goal is not big profit but proving drawdown is under control.

  • At least 100 trades at a fixed 1% risk
  • Journal 100% of trades (reason, chart screenshot, emotion)
  • Export the MT5 report weekly and publish it on the Blog

Small live / cent account

Start only after hitting every P1 metric. Small real capital ($200–$500 or a cent account) to get used to slippage, wider spreads and psychological pressure.

  • Cut risk to 0.5% per trade for the first 30 days
  • Connect Myfxbook / FXBlue for verified figures
  • Compare live vs demo: a gap > 30% ⇒ back to P1

Scale up, conditionally

Only increase size after each +10% equity milestone and when current drawdown is under 5%. The system can then be packaged as an EA or a course built on real data.

  • Increase size by at most 25% each step
  • Drawdown hits 10% ⇒ back to starting size
  • Publish a monthly report on the Results page
