Why they exist: To make sure your profits come from steady skill – not just one lucky trade. Think of it like a diet: Eating one huge pizza won’t ruin your health, but if it’s 80% of your meals, you’re not eating balanced!
📊 How CR Works (Easy Math & Example)
The Rule:
Your biggest winning day can’t be more than 40% of your total profits.
Example: Trader Alex ($1,000 Account)
Day | Profit | What Happened |
1 | +$100 | Small win ✅ |
2 | +$500 | Big win! 🚀 |
3 | +$50 | Small win ✅ |
4 | -$20 | Loss (ignored for CR) |
Step 1: Find Biggest Win
→ Day 2: $500
Step 2: Calculate Total Profit
= $100 + $500 + $50 = $650
Step 3: Check the 40% Rule
CR = (Biggest Win ÷ Total Profit) × 100 = ($500 ÷ $650) × 100 ≈ **77%**
77% > 40% → ❌ Continue Trading!
Alex’s Day 2 win is too dominant.
🔧 How to Fix It
Alex needs to add smaller wins to "dilute" the ratio:
Day | New Profit | New Total Profit | New CR | Status |
5 | +$200 | $650 + $200 = $850 | $500 ÷ $850 ≈ 59% | ❌ |
6 | +$300 | $1,150 | $500 ÷ $1,150 ≈ 43% | ❌ |
7 | +$400 | $1,550 | $500 ÷ $1,550 ≈ 32% | ✅ Pass! |
✅ Now compliant! Alex’s $500 win is only 32% of his $1,550 total.
