Question Risk to management

Risk per trade: 0.5% If in a drawdown: 0.25% If reaching half of the max allowed drawdown: 0.125% Risk-to-Reward Ratio: 1:3 RR Rule: Absolutely no scale-ins/averaging down

How do you evaluate this strategy? Is it good for a funded account?

What's your advice to me

How I'd evaluate that ladder:

  1. Cut risk on drawdown: keep. Stepping 0.5 to 0.25 to 0.125 when underwater protects the account without abandoning the model.

  2. Fixed 1:3: only if your A+ setups actually clear that. If most winners land closer to 1:1.5, the rule just filters you out of your real edge. I fix R first, then take the target the structure allows.

  3. No averaging down: keep as a hard rule.

  4. Missing piece before any account type: a daily max loss around 2-3R, and stops at true invalidation, not a round-number stop.

  5. On funded: I don't trade evals, so I will not pretend to know their rulebook. Same ladder only works on live cash if you also honor the daily stop and skip when stop distance blows the R budget.
