How it works
Pick your target
Choose a target gain per trade, then treat it as a disciplined exit rule.
Size the risk
Before entry, know the capital at risk and what a losing trade does to the path.
Log the result
Enter your exit. Gains compound your balance; losses increase the wins needed.
Climb safely
Rank progress by consistency, efficiency, and survival, not just speed.
The math is simple. The risk is not.
