Does this tool enforce these rules for me?

No. It only restates the numbers you enter in plain language on a printable or copyable card. It does not connect to your broker and cannot stop you from placing a trade.

Q: What should my personal trading rules card say based on my account and risk tolerance?

Enter your account size, max risk per trade, daily loss limit, max trades per day, and max consecutive losses, and this tool generates a printable card stating each rule in dollars and plain language, ready to keep next to your monitor.

Discipline isn't a personality trait. It's a system you build so willpower is optional.

How this is calculated

Dollar risk per trade and your daily loss limit are both calculated as the percentage you enter multiplied by your account size.
The approximate losing trades before your daily limit is reached equals your daily loss limit in dollars divided by your risk per trade in dollars, rounded down. This assumes every loss is a full loss at your stated risk, which won't always be true.
This tool only restates numbers you already chose in plain language on a printable card. It doesn't calculate a "correct" risk percentage or loss limit for you, and it doesn't enforce anything on your broker account.
Use the Print button to print the card directly, or Copy to paste the text elsewhere, like a sticky note app or the top of your trading journal.
