NO! You can have winning trades of any size.
The rule only cares about:
"Does one single day's profit dominate your entire account growth?"
📊 How It Works (With Easy Math)
Rule: Your biggest winning day must be ≤40% of your total profits.
Example 1: ✅ Compliant (Good Variation)
Day | Profit | Total Profit | Calculation |
1 | $200 | $200 | — |
2 | $800 | $1,000 | — |
3 | $500 | $1,500 | Biggest day = $800 |
|
|
| Ratio = $800 ÷ $1,500 = 53% → Violation ❌ |
4 | $700 | $2,200 | New ratio = $800 ÷ $2,200 = 36% ✅ Pass! |
Key Insight:
Day 2’s $800 win was too big initially (53% of $1,500)
Adding Day 4’s $700 win diluted the ratio to 36%
Uneven profits are fine! You just balanced it naturally.
Example 2: ❌ Non-Compliant (Dangerous Concentration)
Day | Profit | Total Profit | Calculation |
1 | $1,000 | $1,000 | — |
2 | $100 | $1,100 | — |
3 | $150 | $1,250 | Biggest day = $1,000 |
|
|
| Ratio = $1,000 ÷ $1,250 = 80% → continue trading! |
Why continue trading needed?
Day 1’s win is 80% of all profits – no other trades meaningfully contribute.

🛠️ How to Stay Safe
Avoid putting 50%+ capital on one trade
After a big win, trade smaller until ratio drops ≤40%
Use partial closes – Take 50% profit today, 50% tomorrow
Think of it like dieting: One huge meal won’t wreck your health – but if it’s 80% of your calories, we’ll ask you to eat some salads too.
