A strategy is just a rule set.
It performs best only under certain market environments.
Trends, ranges, volatility, liquidity — they rotate.
And when conditions don’t match your system, win rate drops.
That doesn’t mean you size up.
It means you **protect the downside**.
In our private group, late November gave us 2 wins and 4 losses.
Nothing broke. Conditions just weren’t there.
Fixed risk (≤1%) kept the account intact.
Because no trade is bigger than a series of trades.
Survival first. Performance later.
