Challenge/Funding Risk Protected

Protects against early challenge failure caused by inconsistent process, avoidable loss-limit hits, and uncontrolled sizing drift.

Loop Mechanics (4 phases)

  • Capture: Export setup context, planned risk, and trigger state before entry.
  • Review: Grade rule adherence and planned-vs-executed drift daily.
  • Rule upgrade: Pick one recurring failure mode and define a corrective rule.
  • Operationalize: Apply the upgrade to next-week checklists and pre-trade gates.

Pass Impact

Increases pass probability by reducing rule-violation frequency and improving consistency across evaluation sessions. Build your pass loop.

Operational Checklist

  • Define challenge guardrails before each session.
  • Record every risk override with a reason code.
  • Run a weekly pass-readiness review against key metrics.
