What this lesson covers
This lesson sets out three core principles for deciding whether to increase or decrease your risk on a given trade. The first is your mental state, which the lesson treats as a legitimate input rather than something to be overridden, because a trader who is not in good condition should be trading smaller regardless of how good the setup looks. The other two principles concern the trade and the conditions around it. The framework is presented visually so it can be applied quickly, and the lesson works through the scenarios that fall under each principle. Having a rule for varying risk prevents the far more common alternative, which is varying it according to recent results.
