Materials about strategy selection, report reading, risk management, optimization, and safe terminal launch.
Review market conditions, timeframe, risk, and launch purpose before sending a preset to Terminal.
PnL alone is not enough. Review trades, drawdown, stability, and sample quality.
A pre-launch checklist: keys, exchange, risk, leverage, stop, position size, and sync status.
How to think about position size, stop risk, daily drawdown, and limits before live trading.
Estimate starting capital through risk, minimum orders, fees, and acceptable drawdown.
Practical ways to reduce risk: limits, filters, smaller load, pauses, and re-optimization.

What permissions Terminal needs, why withdrawal access is not required, and how to control access.

You do not need a perfect strategy. You need clear logic, repeatable edge, and control over where it works.
