A daily stop framework protects you from compounding poor decisions. It should be probability-aligned, not emotionally improvised.
Session limits should be pre-committed
Define max trades, max losses, and max risk exposure before market open.
If your session limits are optional, they are not risk controls.
Align stop logic with breach pressure
When breach probability rises, your daily stop framework should tighten automatically.
This can include fewer trades, lower size, or hard pause conditions.
Protect process in drawdown
Drawdown periods are where rule quality matters most.
A fixed response ladder prevents panic scaling, revenge behavior, and random system changes.
