Challenge psychology
Pass a challenge without a rule break: know your room to every limit before entry.
Step 1 · Risk
Risk per trade is set to fit the daily limit.
At 1% risk and a 5% limit, 5 stops in a row use up the limit.
These numbers are an example. Take your limit and risk from your own rules.
Stops in a row up to the firm's limitscheme Step 2 · Get it back
Same candle: a new entry to get it back.
BTC 15m, Dec 8, 2025: the stop is hit. On that candle's close a new short from 91 661 at 2× size, and it was stopped out at 08:45 too.
A scenario on real candles: entries, stops, and times come from the chart, and the behavior is an example, not a real person's trade.

Sizing up breaks the firm's limit.
Three real stops with sizing up give −6R, deeper than the firm's −5R limit.

How much room do three stops in a row leave?
Example: risk above plan and three stops in a row in a day. How much is left to the daily limit?
- Firm's daily limit$5 000
- Risk per trade1.5%, which is $1 500
- Three stops in a row−$4 500

Set the stop-out rule in advance, below the limit.
A pause after a run of 2 stops kicks in before the firm's limit: −2R against −5R.
The Pact in settings stores these limits and checks them against your journal, and you decide them before the session.
