Risk Management: First Principles for Funded Traders

Funded risk is the firm's floor, not a generic percent you brought from a blog.

Three pages do the work. /article/understanding-drawdowns is how static, trailing, and trailing-that-locks actually move. /article/position-sizing-math turns remaining cushion into shares or contracts, including the futures tick-value trap. /compare is where you read another program's published limits next to this one — news, overnight, weekend, and copy-trading as yes/no, plus cost and payouts.

On a Directory profile, when the program block is filled, write down max drawdown (type and percent) and the daily loss limit before you size anything. Glossary: /glossary/trailing-drawdown, /glossary/static-drawdown, /glossary/daily-loss-limit, /glossary/max-drawdown. /match is the ranking step after you know which rules you can live with.

This page is a map. Use it, then leave.

FAQ

Q: Where do I find the firm's actual loss limits? A: On the firm's Directory profile. Program blocks list max drawdown and daily loss when we have them. Compare currently shows news, overnight, weekend, and copy-trading as yes/no. Confirm the rulebook before you trade.

Q: Why isn't this a full risk article? A: The useful version is the drawdown explainer, the sizing math, and the firm's numbers. A generic percent essay does not tell you how this firm's floor works.
