Use percentage risk as a process rule

1. Start with account risk

Define the maximum amount your written plan allows before calculating position size.

2. Respect invalidation

Set the stop from the point where the idea is invalid, then size around that distance.

3. Stress-test the sequence

Review how repeated losses affect capital so your risk rule remains executable under pressure.
