5-day curriculum

Day 1

Why most retail blow up — the math of risk-of-ruin

The formula nobody shows you. Why a 55%-WR strategy with 10% sizing has a 13% chance of bankruptcy, and how 2% sizing drops it to 0.0004%. Position sizing matters more than strategy quality.

Day 2

Position sizing methods — Fixed-risk, Fixed-fractional, Kelly

Three frameworks, when to use each, and the math. Full Kelly formula with worked examples. Why "half-Kelly" is the practical answer for most retail traders.

Day 3

Stop loss design — three methods that actually work

Fixed-percent vs. ATR-based vs. structural stops. Why the 1.5-2× ATR multiplier is the empirical sweet spot. How to avoid the stop-hunt zones that wreck retail traders.

Day 4

Capital allocation across strategies

The 70/30 framework. Why holding 10-20% as cash reserve compounds better than 100% deployed. Allocation across uncorrelated strategies for variance reduction.

Day 5

Scaling — when to grow, when to shrink

The 100-trade rule for empirical edge confirmation. When to scale capital, when to scale down after drawdown, and the discipline that separates compounders from gamblers.
