โš–๏ธ The Simple Rule

You have TOTAL freedom โ€“ as long as: (Biggest Daily Profit) รท (Total Profit) โ‰ค 40%

Not a restriction on trading โ€“ a filter for gambling!


๐Ÿ’ก Why This = MORE Freedom

Traditional Prop Firms ๐Ÿšซ

TradersFlow โœ…

Bans news trading/holding weekends

Allows ALL strategies

Forces tiny position sizes

Trade up to 5 lots/symbol

Demands daily profit targets

No targets โ€“ trade your way

๐Ÿ’ก Think of it like driving:

  • CR Rule = Speed limit โ†’ Prevents reckless crashes

  • Your Strategy = Car choice โ†’ Sports car? SUV? Bike? Your call!


๐Ÿงฎ Fix "Restriction" in 1 Step

After a big win:

Required Additional Profit = (Biggest Win รท 0.4) - Current Profit

Example:

  • Biggest Win = $10,000

  • Current Profit = $12,000

  • Required = ($10,000 รท 0.4) - $12,000 = $13,000
    โ†’ Trade normally until you hit $25,000 total profit


โœ… Key Takeaways

  1. Trade HOW you want โ€“ no style restrictions

  2. Trade WHAT you want โ€“ any asset, leverage, time

  3. Only rule: Donโ€™t let one day dominate your profits

  4. Hate this rule? Use Instant Turbo accounts (no CR!)

True freedom isnโ€™t gambling โ€“ itโ€™s winning consistently. ๐Ÿ†
